Hi mums and dads!
Today has been an awesome day! We've been to the British Museum and we've seen lots of art in it. The part that we liked the most is the Egyptian and the African culture.Seeing the mummies was a great experience and not only that but also seeing all the statues from different cultures such as the Indian, Chinese or Greek.
After that, we had lunch in Soho Square, next to Oxford Street. And, of course!! We did some shopping there. But, don't worry, we still have money for food, jajaja!!
Also, some of us went to M&M's hug shop in Leicester Square and Chinatown.
We're having lots of fun!!
Well, we hope you enjoy our blog and here are some pictures!!

SECOND DAY! Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square and National Gallery

          It's been a long day! We got up really early this morning and we are all tired. First of all, we took "The Tube" by the first time, and I think it's been quite funny. We've even sung!! We visited the Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey first. Our guide was a very nice woman, and she explained everything quite clearly. For example, she told us about Big Ben; it is a bell, not a clock!! It is called Ben because a politician called Benjamin took care of it and he was quite fat, so he was like a bell. 

           We didn't enter Westminster Abbey, because the guide told us it was going to be quite expensive and it wasn't worthy. There are 3300 people buried there. There's even a Shakespeare memorial. 

           Another curiosity happened in Parliament Square, when we saw statues of Abraham Lincoln and Nelson Mandela. 

           We had lunch at St. James's Park, where we had a lot of free time. Some of us fell asleep there, some others went for a walk and several luxury cars. It was awesome! After lunch, we went to Trafalgar Square, where we saw a breakdance show made by buskers. It was quite lively. Finally, we visited the National Gallery. It contains some iconic paintings, such as 'Sunflowers' by Van Gogh and 'The Toilet of Venus' by Diego Velazquez. 

           We had dinner in an Italian pizza place, where meals were homemade and tasted great. Exhausting but interesting! Oh, we almost forgot to mention that MARIA was interviewed by a production company which was filming a documentary about London. It's late here, so have a great night!

  

Today we woke up really early! At 6 am! We're still getting used to it!

Today's been an intense day. The hostel is cool and we're sharing it with people from different nationalities. After checking in, we went for a walk along the river bank to enjoy some of the most breathtaking views in London. Finally, we've had dinner in a REAL Italian restaurant. Back at the hostel, we've prepared some sandwiches for tomorrow and taken some pictures.

What's the weather going to be like?

SUNNY HOPEFULLY!!!
