Having crossed the English
Channel we commenced our adventure in Hastings where we made use of a
train taking us to the village with an interesting name Battle. What
appealed to us was a lovely place called Battle Abbey with beautiful
greenery around. After having a quick lunch we made our way back to
the coastline town. Hastings provided us with the opportunity to
enter the Smugglers’ caves and take the funicular up the hill. In
the evening we arrived at our English host families which served us a
long-expected English dinner.
The second day our coach
took us to a picturesque town Winchester where we glanced into the
famous cathedral and then did our first shopping on the English soil.
Afterwards we explored Windsor Castle where Queen Elisabeth II.
sometimes enjoys the weekends. We were amazed by the monumentality of
the whole site.
The following four days in
the morning we did our best to improve our English at school in
Worthing. We spent the afternoons in four different places.
Portsmouth offered us two absorbing objects to see, namely the HMS
Victory and the Spinnaker tower with its breathtaking view on the
port.
The next day we visited
Hever Castle, the seat of Anne Boleyn and were enjoying ourselves in
three different mazes. On Wednesday we headed to the sea to admire
the cliffs (Beachy Head) which dominate the coastline. On top of
that, we took pleasure in watching the sunset on the beach.
The very last day in
England we took a train to Brighton where everybody couldn't wait to
dash into Primark and went on a shopping spree one last time in
England. For several pupils it was the icing on the cake of the trip.
In the evening we said goodbye to England and headed back home.
We were fortunate to have
wonderful weather which helped us enjoy our trip to the full.
