London

Monday, 7 July

I woke up knowing today is my big day!

My dad and I took the train from Swindon to Paddington, London. When we arrived, we walked to Hyde Park and had lunch. While we did that I wanted to take a picture, only to find that I had left my memory card at home! (Big Mistake) So we walked to the science museum and then to a camera shop and got another memory card, and back to science museum. This is what we saw there:

This the a replica of the Hubble space telescope


Sputnic (replica), first satellite into space


Apollo 10 command module 1969


At the science museum we also saw a hologram of a watch and did many of the interesting activities!


 You should know this!
BIG BEN


The London Eye


 St Pauls Cathedral


This is the lovely sunset from the train!
To all my friends at school: this is what it looks like from a train at 20:00pm!


TOUR DE FRANCE!

We went to see the Tour de France! The last stage in the UK, ending at Buckingham Palace.


That was our main reason to be there! All the cyclists came past in a flash, but it was worth while. I may never get that chance again! The Tour de France was very special for my dad and I, especially because we love cycling (but not that far!) if I could see it once more in slow motion it would be great! 

I really loved London and would love to go and see it again some day!

(I took all the pictures except the last one of the Tour de France.)

I hope you like this and enjoyed it!

  1. What a fun trip to London! I'm pretty jealous that you got to see the Tour de France live! I hadn't really thought about the fact that if you are watching from one spot they would zoom by you... that could be a bit anti-climactic.

  2. @Nicole,
    Thank you, I really did love it! One big reason they came past so fast was because we were less than 100 meters from the end (the final and fastest sprint!). The crowds were incredible! Millions of spectators!
