Saturday 18 July
We left home early in the morning, but our flight was delayed and we didn’t arrive at
Heathrow until late in the 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 café
and then headed for Oxford Street. I bought a jacket and some T-shirts. I wanted to
buy a bag as well, but I couldn’t find one that I liked. In the evening, we ate in an Italian
restaurant and went to a typical English pub in Covent Garden. We met some really
nice English people and had so much fun that we didn’t get back to the hotel until very
late!
