OUR TRIP TO GREAT BRITAIN

On the 23rd September at 10.30 pm all 43 children from the classes 7.A,B,C and 3 teachers (Kateřina Prokopová, Monika Tučková a Silva Žeková) left school towards England. On the way to England we stopped to see some interesting places, for example Brugge in Belgium, Stonehenge and Salisbury cathedral. After that we drove straight to Barnstaple in North Devon county where we met our host families.
The next morning at school we had to introduce ourselves to the English teachers with whom we then spent our 10 days in England. During the stay we had a look at the centre of Barnstaple (shops, a museum, monuments etc.). We also went on other trips. We got to see the ruins of King Arthur´s castle in Tintagel, the cities of Lynton and Lynmouth, Exeter with a beautiful cathedral and also the beaches of Woolacombe and Ilfracombe.
On the way back we did not forget to stop in London where we visited the Tower of London with the crown jewels. On a short tour round the city we saw the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, the London Eye, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square or the world-famous Tower bridge. In the evening we crossed the English channel by ferry and drove home to Prague.We think that all of us enjoyed our stay in Barnstaple and we hope that there will be another chance to visit so exciting and enchanting country as England is.
