Saturday 18 July

We left home early in the morning, but our flight was delayed and we didnt arrive at Heathrow until late inthe afternoon. We were really tired, but we took a bus to our hotel because taxis in London are very

expensive. When we got to the hotel, we had a rest and then went out to explore the city. We had a quick

sandwich in a small caf and then headed for Oxford Street. I bought a jacket and some T-shirts. I wanted

to buy a bag as well, but I couldnt find one that I liked. In the evening, we ate in an Italian restaurant andwent to a typical English pub in Covent Garden. We met some really nice English people and had so much

fun that we didnt get back to the hotel until very late!

Sunday 19 July

just had toast. After breakfast, we went for a walk around the city. We saw Nelsons Column in TrafalgarSquare, Buckingham Palace, and St Pauls Cathedral. In the afternoon, we had a pizza and then took a bus

to the train station. Travelling by bus in London is a great way to see the sights. We caught an evening train
