DAY 15 (Saturday,day off)

It was the day off so we had completely freedom for a day. Alicia and I wanted to go to Wicken Fen, a natural reserve, so we got up early and we went to the train station to buy the tickets to Newmarket, a town near Wicken Fen in which we had to catch the bus for going there and it was also famous for the horse races. That was our plan but at the end everything turned out to be something really differen't...we went to Newmarket but in the Information Center from there they told us that there wasn't any bus to Wicken Fen and neither from Ely...So we coulden't go to the natural reserve. Then we asked for the horse racing but under-age people couldn't go alone so we decided to go to Ely (the town from the other day) to do a walking route there. We catched a bus to Ely and we did a loooong walk near the river.We had lunch in a beautiful place and we went on...we rested a bit on the grass and then we went to the bus stop for going to New Market again to catch the train. We got asleep so when we woke up we saw a poster saying "Newmarket" so we thought we were going out of the town and we got out of the bus there but the truth was that we hadn't even got into town. Then we realised that in forty minutes we had to be in the train station that was in the opposite side of the town...the last and further building...and we hadn't any money for taxis nor anything. So we had to run non-stop for forty minutes and then we catched the train that took us home. It was an adventure day!!

DAY 14 (Friday,London)

We had to have breakfast at half past seven. We went to London by train and we arrived at King's Cross, Harry Potter's station. The trip was an excursion that we (the students) prepared.We made a list with the places we liked to visit and we invented a route, (although the teachers made some changes in the program,hehe).
First we walked through some streets and important and famous places in London. Then we went to Camden Town and we ate there...it was great, I liked Camden Town a lot...there were a lot of strange things like some kind of fishbowl with little fishes that bit the feet when you put them into (and you had to pay for that). Also the sellers let you change the prices...it was wonderful and there were a lot of punks.
Then we met Pilar and we went on filming cultural videos about London monuments. Finally we had some free time and then we had our packed dinner in Hyde Park. There we had a little adventure: Luis,Pilar,Alicia and me were sitting on some chairs we found and suddenly a guard appeared and said: -It's £1.50. (Whaaaaaaat??!!!!) And then Pilar said: -Oh, so we have to leave. And the man said: -Yes, but first you have to pay. And finally he only charged us for three chairs instead of four.
We had a great time in London and then we came back. In the train we met some special guys:
-First one > An old and fat man who was eating non-stop and slopping all the food and the water on the floor.
-Second ones > Two drunk men that tried to talk to us but we didn't understand them. Also they had a strange way of sleeping, they slapped us on our heads.
-Third ones > They were two young men trying to be frienly to us but they smelt so bad and when they saw Helena covering her nose they started saying: -It's not us...the smell comes from the outside.
It was very funny for us.

DAY 13 (Thursday)
In the morning we went to the library and in the afternoon we went to the river to do interviews to the owners of the narrow boats. My group and me did two interviews to two different men. The first one could speak Spanish and he was very friendly but the second one was bald,ugly and not so friendly...Well it was interesting! And then we went home for doing the reading club. After having dinner we went on doing the scrapbook. And then we went to bed...thinking on the following day: London...(it will continue)

DAY 12 (Wednesday)
After having breakfast we went to the library (I'm sorry if you get bored reading this but...(I can't change the reality) I can't make it funnier although I have tried it) Well so I can jump to the moment we had to go to Harry's (the speaking corner) but we didn't go in because we thought that it would be better to go home and have dinner because later we were going to go to a Shakespeare play. So we went home and we played a game that consisted of trying to describe known people to your team.Then we prepared dinner and we had it and then...we went to Trinity College to see the play! It was very very funny and the place was great because you could sit on the grass or in the chairs...We were a little bit cold but we enjoyed a lot (all of us).
After that we went home and we went to bed very tired but glad.

DAY 11 (Tuesday)
In the morning,we met Claudia's boyfriend in the guest house.Then we went to the library and we did the same as always...writing the blog,the diary and the magazine.We had a lot of free time for having lunch and in the afternoon we went punting.I was really looking forward to doing it.Our punter told us some stories,leyends and history about the Colleges and the bridges.He was very funny because he was a little bit surly. The shame was that we had to share the punt with three Chinese women that were taking photos of EVERYTHING.I put my hand in the water and then I noticed that one Chinese woman was pointing to my hand in the water with her camera...At that moment I didn't know what to do: laugh (because it was funny) or cry (because it was too exaggerated) ...this Chinese tourism...
After that we went home,we had dinner and we played a game that consisted of doing a character that Claudia and Maria gift to us and one was the murderer but only he/she knew it.A person was killed so in the funeral we had to act like our character saying the things we had in our script and trying to guess which one was the murderer...It was really funny because as the game was going on the secrets were revealing...We all had a great time,haha...

DAY 10 (Monday)
We got up at 10, we had breakfast and instead of going to the library we did our blogs and our diaries in the guest house but we hadn't got enough time. We went to the center of Cambridge to have lunch and then we went to an American Cementery.We had to do an exercise and find two names...in the begining we were looking for them in the graves but we finally found them in the list of not found soldiers (The Wall of the Missing)...After that we went again to the center and while Maria and Claudia were doing the shopping in Sainsbury we did the shopping for the scrapbook. When we arrived home we prepared the dinner and after having it we did the scrap book.But it isn't all because just before going to bed we had to do our blogs in one computer so we went very tired to bed.

FIRST WEEKEND (Friday, Saturday and Sunday)
I'm not going to talk about Friday morning because it was the same as always...The most interesting thing we did was attending Taekwondo lessons...it was very fun and we kicked a lot...the teacher was very serious but he was cool.After that we had a picnic in the park and we went to Andy's again...It was a nice day!
On Saturday we went to Ely,a beautiful town near Cambridge and we did a lot of things :We visited the church,we had some free time,we did a boat trip and we went to a huge garden with horses and perfect hills to do the croquette!
Sunday was the day off so I went alone with Alicia to look for the information we needed and we visited some new places.That day we slept two siestas in two different parks...the second one was because I felt sick so we had to lie for a while and we no_ded off in the middle of the park.
And at night we saw the Olympic Games Clausure...it was wonderful,and at half past twelve we went walking to a natural reserve to watch the shating stars rain...we were there for a long time watching the sky and at three more or less we went back home!
It has been a nice weekend!
