Tour Of London

I haven't posted in quite a while, but I hope to be posting more frequently now.

I would class this trip as one of the best I've had it was so breath-taking, London truly is magnificent. I was lucky enough to go to London, I was trigger happy with my camera! I visited the House of Commons and the House of Lords each room had its own unique history behind it. Later, I visited Trafalgar Square and then saw the Olympic Clock! Oh wow it was so cool. Then we went on to see the throne that the Queen of England sits on during debates in the House of Lords. We then proceeded to learn about the civil war that was caused by Charles I, what was really intriguing was seeing the real-life death warrant for Charles I, truly fascinating. The best part I would have to say was seeing Oliver Cromwell's signature, for me right there, history really came alive. I loved spending the day at London and learning about
It's history, all in all, a great day!

My Time at Girton Cambridge

I just thought I'd tell you guys about my school trip to Cambridge. Here goes..

Ok, so as part of a push to urge talented students to apply to top universitys such as Cambridge the top 10% students in our year were selected to go on this trip. It was a 3 hour! Coach ride to to Girton Cambridge, the coach ride to the place was just amazing! The banter was flowing, everyone was just generally happy and excited. Plus me and my friend had a competition on who would get the furthest on Temple Run... I WON!
765,000! Here's what happened at Cambridge: We were told what we had to do in order to get into a university like Cambridge, we then engaged in an activity that showed how to deal with student life and how to manage our time as university students. Then we went on a tour around Girton, it was so cool, here's the uploaded picture of the cathedral, It's a bit lopsided, i'm no photographer.
Anyways, we checked out artifacts dating to the 15 century. We hopped back on the coach and returned to school, it was raining so my teacher shared her umbrella with me, the banter was phenomenal!
Overall, it was the best trip EVER!
