Our trip to Great Britain

On the 25th September 40 students from 7.C, 8.A and 8.B classes left Prague and travelled by bus to Great Britain.
On the way we visited Bruges in Belgium. We liked it very much because the city has a really nice architecture. We sailed on the canal by boat and we saw a big cathedral tower. Bruges is also called „Venice of the north“. Then we passed the boarders of Belgium and went to France where we slept one night in a hotel. The next day we crossed the English Channel by ferry to Britain. On our way to Barnstaple we stopped in Stonehenge and saw the historical monument. In the evening we arrived in Barnstaple and split in our host families. Every morning we went to school which took place in Grosvenor church. Devided in three groups we had three 55 min. long English lessons. Each lesson we had a different teacher. In the afternoons we went on trips. Twice we had all-day trip (to Tintagel and Exeter). We spent time at many interesting places like Lynton and Lynmouth, Ilfracombe and Woolacombe (surfing places), twice we visited the Atlantic coast and many more. We enjoyed the fun park in Milky Way and the sports day in the local leisure centre. On Sunday we spent time with our families.
We really enjoyed the time in England, but now it´s time to come back to school! L On the way back we visited London. We saw Big Ben, London Eye, the Houses of Parliament and many other places. We also went by double-decker bus and by boat on the river cruise. ( The first time in the history of this trip!) J
We arrived in Prague on Friday the 8th October in a good mood and with new experiences. We have just one little problem – our backs still hurt from the night on the bus! JJ
