2nd London Excursion

Yesterday we had our second academic excursion.It started near the Tower of London and we ended up at the HMS Belfast.Before we had to wait for our coach about half an hour. After we could finally go on the bus I instantly tried to sleep. Unfortunately it didn't work.One and a half hours later we arrived at London and we visited a memorial near the Tower of London.Our blue guide Reg showed us another side of London and afterwards we had a lot of new impressions. Furthermore we saw the street in which the Great Fire of London started in 1666 and we visited plague memorials and a church.At lunchtime we had- like on all the excursions- a "delicious" sandwich, an apple, a KitKat and plain water.With empty stomachs and very tired we visited the HMS Belfast.I really liked it but although I spent about one and a half hours on the boat I don't know much about it.Benedikt and I were faced with a little adventure. An Austrian boy "lost" - in fact his parents let him stay on the boat on his own - his parents. The security men on the boat asked us to translate the things they wanted to tell him.After all that I was very tired and therefore I had no porblems to sleep on the bus!PS : thank you Florentina

Something to IMPROVE in Queenswood

I have something to say after this week in thisw beaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutiful camp

-Disco should be twice a week and it must be good music; if we haven't brought the CD that we made, no one would dancing

-The quality of the food is really low and it's impossible to believe that we can't get seconds for the main course.....I'm becoming a POTATO...

-The Director doesn't understand that this is a holiday for us and my parents didn't send me here but I decidd to come here so, if I want to speak my own language I should be free to talk in the way i prefer. There are 10 guys from my country and 160 that don't speak my own language; what do you thing i can say to them??? Obviously i talk with them in english!
10 against 160 think about it...

-It's really stupid to force us to sit in assigned tables during the meals. Particulary because tables are made from people from two rooms without a real reasoning

FORTUNATELY THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE (CHICAS IN PARTICULAR :D) THAT ARE MAKING THIS WEEK VERY ENJOYABLE IN SPITE OF THE OTHERS...

After getting on the buses we left Queenswood to reach London. The weather was bad but after 3 days in this camp I have become used to it.
We arrived in London at 10 a.m. and then, after a short break ( and a cigarette...), we met our guide. After that we started the real tour of "The City": we saw the Smithfields meat market built in the XIX century, the typical English phone booths, St. Bartholomew's Hospital and an old charateristic English pub.
At that time we started walking to the "famous" Tower. That was a really big building, not so beautiful as i thought, but nice.
In its rooms there there were a lot of guns and armours but we had a quick look at them.
In the meantime the weather was getting worse every hourso my friends and me decided to go to get a coffee in the closest guys.
Finally we came back to the buses and, after a really long ride, we reached Queenswood.
The excursion was quite bad because of the weather, the things that we saw , and because they gave us gone off food...(...)...fortunately all the guys are fantastic and in spite of all those things i enjoyed myself
