Once again we were back in England. But this time we weren’t staying in Kendal, we had 5 days to drive around the South of England. The plane landed in London Luton airport. It wasn’t as big as Heathrow. Our first drive was towards Brighton. When we arrived in Brighton we parked the car and went for a long walk down the beach side. Or should I say down the rocky side.

There beach didn’t have sand. It had big pebbles all along the beach line. We all just laughed and kept walking on the pathway to the pier. At the end of Brighton pier were a few fair rides like the bucking bull, bouncy castles, a small rollercoaster and so on. We didn’t go on any; we were just walking around and looking. We’d had enough of walking around the pebbly beaches so we left to Eastbourne.

Eastbourne was a lovely town. It was full of old buildings, little food cafes but it still had a stony beach. We booked a hotel by the beach and noticed a bright yellow sign hung up on the wall. It said Eastbourne Airborne show, tomorrow from 12:30pm till 6pm. The Airborne show was going to be all the professional jet drivers give everyone a flying show. We were going to stay for about 2 hours.

3, 2, 1, the P.A speaker shouted out loudly. There were lots of jets doing fantastic tricks around our heads and way up in the sky. Some jets let parachutes out and as the people floated down more jets came around the corners. My favourite part of the show was when there were people actually sitting on top of the plane while the plane fly’s around in the sky. It was brilliant but we had to move onto London. Otherwise we wouldn’t have enough time to see the main places in London.

Our hotel in London was called Fox Apartments. When we found the right hotel it was still only 1pm so we thought that we should go out to London city for a few hours. In that few hours we saw the Big Ben, London Eye, West Minster Abbey and Bucking Ham Palace. They were all so gorgeous; except for Bucking Ham palace. I thought it would be enormous and beautiful but it was plain and boring. The only thing interesting about it was the guards standing out the front marching from one side to the other.

The next day we went to London Tower, London Bridge and Trafalgar Square. The London Tower was where the King would sentence criminals to the dungeons or he would just get his guards to kill the prisoners. Just around the London Tower was London Bridge. The London Bridge looked very old and fragile. I was a bit frightened when we walked across it; the bridge felt like it was going to brake. Everything in that particular area looked extremely breakable.

In Trafalgar Square was a big tournament. It was 2009 world champion free running contest. There were lots of people around shoving through the lines to get inside. You had to have a ticket to watch the free running so we couldn’t go in, but there was still plenty more things to do. We didn’t stay in London for much longer that day because tomorrow we were going to the shopping district. HARRODS!

Harrods wasn’t too far away from the Bucking Ham Palace. When we got there everyone was staring at us because we weren’t dressed well enough for their standards. It was all Gucci, Luis Vitton, Chanel and so on. I felt a bit out of place. Shortly after Harrods we went for a walk around part of the city. We came by what we thought was a small market area, but we were definitely wrong.

When we walked down these long stairs to the markets our eyes almost popped out of our heads. They were continuous, just little markets selling clothing, jewellery, toys, souvenirs and lots of bits and bobs. Wandering through all of the markets we found a massive neon shop. There was loud techno music playing in the background and heaps of people looking through the clothing. It was great to do that on the last day of England and I couldn’t wait to go to China the next day.
