London Eye

It was a marvelous day when we reached the London Eye, which is a Ferris wheel and one of the biggest buildings of it´s kind. It was built in the year 2000, that´s why many people also call it the "Millennium Eye". I felt astonished, standing infront of the building and looking to the top of the attraction, realising the acutal height.





As the entrance-fee was included in the Madam Tussauds tickets, which we had visited before, we just had to join the quee. After ten minutes waiting, it was our turn. We had an enormous view from the highest point over the city. Everybody was stressed because they thought they couldn´t take enough pictures, except me because I had no camara with me. After all memory sticks were full, my class mates started to relax and also enjoyed the ride. It was an great experience and I´ll never forget this time.

Big thanks to the teachers for organizing this week. Michael Kirschbichler.

Amazing! I never thought that one single week could be so funny and outstanding. I mean London is such a marvelous city but with Prof. Fischer, Prof. Spaller and my classmates it was more than just an awesome week. Every single day was a special adventure and although I liked it very much, I had to confess that it was really exhausting because our day program was planned from morning to night. But Meli, Wolfi and I had a miracle cure. We used an anti-stress peeling to hide our wrinkles! We forced Wolfi to come along with us to the lady bathroom, where we covered his face with our crème although he was not very fond of this idea!! =)

On Thursday most people of the 7c class went to the musical called "We will rock you". At the entrance we had to wait some time because it was sold out and we had to go through the crowd to reach our chairs in time. After the light had been switched off the music started immediately. All the audience was impressed by the excellent mixture of music and text. After the main plot everybody was screaming for encore which was offered to us. After the last song everybody of the members of the audience started clapping hands for a long time.
All my classmates and I enjoyed this musical very much and in my opinion it was one of the best things we have seen in London.

Hi,
On Saturday a group of seven (Prof. Fischer, Paul, Georg&I, Fritz, Wolfgang and Stefan) tried to watch the football match at White Hart Lane. The Tottenham Hotspurs played against Bolton. Nobody knew where the stadium was. So Prof. Fischer informed on the internet by the madam at the reception. At our very curious trip Prof. Fischer had seen that it was a serious fault to ask a woman about a football stadium because the lady told him the completely wrong underground line. So we were suddenly at Wembley in the North-West instead of Tottenham in the North-East. Quarter an hour after the kick-off we stood in front of the very impressive stadium. We asked for some tickets but the match was completely sold out for more than a month. So everybody bought some Tottenham fan articles and we went into the next pub to listen to match on the radio. All in all it was a very beautiful and completely funny day.

Cambridge

Hi there,
I would like to write about our trip to Cambridge on friday. Our train started at the famous King's Cross station. There we saw the well-known “Platform 9 ¾” from the Harry Potter novels, which was unfortunately really disappointing. After arriving in Cambridge, we walked through the town at first. During our midday-break we were allowed to go shopping, which I really enjoyed =). After the break, we went to the river to make a boat trip. There we were separated in 5 persons for each boat and then had to drive it by ourselves. By the way, I have to thank Kirschi, who did really an awesome job ;)! We had so much fun, I can’t explain it in words. In the evening we went back to London. It was an amazing day, which I’ll never forget!

Harrods & Starbucks

Hey there!

Well... today I thought which story from our trip to London, I should write down here... so here it is =)

One day we wanted to go to Harrods...

...As we arrived there in front of the building Prof. Fischer already told us that we might not come in because of our large group. So we tried it but the bouncer said no. Everybody knows that people from our class are not thaaat stupid so we split up into small groups to get inside... almost every group at another entrance =)
Inside there Sarah and me were really impressed by the view. Everything looked (and actually was) soo expensive... we were kind of afraid to breathe and break something we would not be able to afford =D
We looked around, saw all that jewellery visited the Egyptian Hall and went then downstairs to the Food Hall where we bought some bread.
When we went outside Sarah and me were just so proud because of out Harrods-bag (see the picture - taken by Prof. Fischer).
Those days Sarah and me are dreaming of eating such a delicious slice of bread again =D

One important thing in London was also coffee. As everybody knows our trip was quite exhausting because of all that sightseeing and school, so Starbucks got our second home and we spent most of our money there on every kind of coffee =)


K.. that's it by now, hope you liked my little story =)

Hy!(:
Our one week stay in London was very exciting and we enjoyed it a lot. What I really liked best about this week was Madame Tussaud`s. Inside there was a young lady who took photos. When I went to Julia Roberts my way passed hers but she was still taking a photo. So I stopped and waited to move on. But she didn`t put the camera down and took a photo every five seconds. After some time I started wondering and suddenly I recogniced that this "paparazzi-lady" was a doll from Madame Tussaud`s.
I really enjoyed the time in London!
