Our journey started at 3.15 am when the bus arrived at Bride
Street Church and brought us to Dublin airport where we boarded the plane for
London Stansted Airport. When we arrived at Stansted Airport we got onto our
coach and our guide William took us on a tour around London City. We saw some
of the famous landmarks in London; Big Ben, London Tower Bridge (there was a
Mexico exhibition here with lots of interactive stations and free tacos!),
Westminster abbey, Buckingham palace, Piccadilly Circus, Leister Square, and
Trafalgar Square and of course the M&M shop. We arrived at the hotel and
had an hour to unpack before our delicious buffet dinner.
On Day 2 we woke up early in the morning and went down stairs
to receive our buffet breakfast. Today was a visit to the London Sea Life
Aquarium. In the aquarium we saw many wonderful sea creatures from all over the
world. This was followed by the Imperial War Museum which was excellent. Highlights
included life size trenches, war tanks, cars, and missiles. Some of the more
serious exhibitions like “a family at war” and “the holocaust” were very
moving. After the War Museum we took the bus to the restaurant “Bella Italia”
the food was divine. After dinner we went to the outstanding Lion King show in
the Lyceum Theatre. It was an amazing show! The music, lights and puppetry was
like nothing we’d seen before. The show ended at 10:00 pm and when we got back
to the hotel we went to bed.
Day 3 brought us to Stamford Bridge home of Chelsea football
club. We started in the museum of Chelsea football club viewing cups and other
notable historical events of the club. We got a tour of Stamford Bridge where
we saw the pitch, the press room and the two changing rooms. Next up was the National
Science and History museums. In the Science museum we got to see how energy was
made, space exploration and history of medicine. The National History museum
had the massive bone structures off the Tyrannosaurus rex and the Blue Whale
(which was found washed up on the beaches of Wexford). We returned to the hotel
for another lovely buffet dinner, we then had to pack our suitcases and bags to
be ready for the departure on Saturday!
Our final
day was a visit to the London Dungeons. The London Dungeons were very scary
especially when Jack the Ripper jumped out of the shadows. After our visit to
the London Dungeons we transferred to Westfield Shopping Complex. Westfield was
absolutely massive and it had all the best shops in it. When we left Westfield
our time in London came to an end. We departed Stansted Airport and took the return
flight back to Dublin City. The tour was incredible and we all had an amazing
time. J
