Month: July 2018

Today we left London to go to Paris. We all woke up before seven so we could catch an early train as we needed to get to the station early. It was sad saying goodbye to the people we were staying with but we were all excited for the next part of our journey.

Once we were on our first train, we only needed to wait half an hour until we arrived at the main station. As we had so much time, we bought some food from a store called Marks & Spencer’s and went for coffee and hot chocolate at another store.

A few hours later we were allowed to board the train. We had booked two sets of seats opposite each other with a table so we could eat our food and also see each other. The train went so fast and it was impossible to take any photos without them being blurred.

When we got to Paris, we went on a short train ride so we could reach the place we were staying in. It was really nice though there were two beds so we had to share. Later we went for a walk but I got a blood nose so we went home.

 

Today we went to see my mums great friends from University! We met at midday in Greenwich Park for a picnic. Everyone bought enough to feed many people so we had some much food! We had bread, cheese, dips, quiche, salads and so many more things. I particularly liked the hummus and avocado, they were very good!

There were many very good climbing trees in the park so I had a wonderful time! The view was also very good so I enjoyed sitting up at the top of them. One of my mum’s friends is a caricaturist so he drew Zac and me, we thought he was very good! Afterwards many of us threw the ball around while the rest sat and talked. When I was hot and tired I sat down and talked to my godfather (Ian) for a little while. He is so funny so I was laughing so much!

We returned to the house we were staying with after many hours of fun at the park and started getting ready for dinner. Ian had booked it and we were all exited to go to the resturant as he said it was really good. I few train journeys later we had arrived and were sitting at a very nice table with an AMAZING view. It was a fish resturant, so I order a fish which had been placed in a creamy sauce. That would have to be one of the best meals I have ever had.

For dessert I ordered fruit, ice cream and meringue. It originally had alcohol in it but the kind chef made it for me with out it so I could have it. When it arrived it was all layered in a cup topped with whipped cream. The ice cream was a mixture of passion fruit, vanilla and lemon which tasted amazing. I think that topped my main!!

The adults then all decided we could order a drink so I had raspberry smash which looked beautiful. When we left it was 10:30pm so we were all tired and when we arrived home, fell asleep in our beds.
