Here's the group outside Buckingham Palace! The changing of the guard started just as we arrived which was really interesting to see (although the guards must have been boiling in their hats!) After seeing Buckingham Palace the group had some time in Covent Garden to go shopping and watch the street performers. Arturo, Alvaro and Sarah bought Hard Rock Cafe T-shirts (as seen in the photo!) Then we walked down to Trafalgar Square where we intended to look at Nelson's column. However a gay parade was getting into full swing just as we arrived and there were so many people that it was impossible to move! So we took a small detour along the river Thames and saw Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. After that we went on a boat tour along the river and under all the bridges, finally ending up at Tower Bridge. Everybody was really happy to have finally visited London and would have loved to have spent longer there.
On Sunday everyone went shopping in Exeter, played munchkin in a cafe and tried some Spanish food in La Tasca! Arturo also managed to find the most expensive bottle of water in the UK at £3.60!
Alvaro and Sarah had a great time exploring the forest at Escot on Friday where they saw white owls and red squirrels. And finally, lessons are going really well!
