Greetings from a largely overrated teacher! ;-)

Thanks for the bundles of roses you're throwing at us (Fr. Prof. Spaller & me) and thanks for the great reports about your days and experiences. They are really enjoyable, if sometimes somewhat less eloquently stated than possible! ;-)
So, here's my report:
After not having had much time to prepare the trip to London with the class myself, I was happy to have a fabulous partner in crime, Fr. Prof. Mitter, who force-fed the students of class 7c with all the necessary information before our days in the UK.
After having arrived and witnessed several unpleasant shocks (where's our coach?, what the h*** is this room, it smells terribly, that's supposed to be our breakfast?) we ended up spending a magnificent time in the lovely capital of England.
And, despite the fact that some of you guys had been to visit there a few times already, I guess it was still a trip not to be forgotten in quite a while!
Cambridge and the punting, the walk with the "weird" man who sponsored some drinks and took us to Bleeding Heart Lane and past the "Kipferl" restaurant to see the place of Braveheart William Wallace's painful death through torture...
Portobello Market on a really busy Saturday morning, Camden Market in the rain, Covent Garden with its acrobats, ... I don't even want to know how many times you girls went onto Oxford Street to go window shopping! ;-)
All in all, including the afternoons in school, it has to be said that, even for me, it was a new and refreshing experience to be around some youngsters without (bad) attitude, with respectful behaviour and good manners who could take a joke and laugh about themselves (as well as others!). Another reason for going back as soon as possible. And do not forget that we did not see everything there is to be seen in London. The Tower, St. Paul's, a load of museums and musicals, Wimbledon, and so on and so forth!
London - a story to be continued... what do you think?
