1 Day 1 After so many challenging lessons we had throughout the year, we, a small group of 5 th and 6 th graders from our school, guided by our English teacher, chose a special destination on the map of Europe: Great Britain and London, in particular. We have already learnt interesting facts about this country s culture and traditions and we were curious to discover its landscapes, tourist sights, people and entertainment. We were on our first day of holiday and we really wanted to have fun. Our parents offered us this opportunity to travel since we all had very good results at school. So here we are ready to travel by coach, crossing 6 countries to get to our final destination, London. Dreams, ambitions, hopes, go ahead. We start our voyage On the morning on 21 st June we waved goodbye to our parents, placed our luggage and discovered new friends from Bistrita Nasaud who were travelling with us and Cristina, a very nice 17 old year-girl from Alexandria, who has just won an essay national competition. After we had passed by several monuments in Transylvania a 15 th century wooden church in Huedin, Oct.Goga s famous memorial monument in Ciucea, Oradea s biggest gothic cathedral - we got very excited to the border of the country. In Hungary our first stop was in Budapest, where we stayed at a beautiful hotel overnight. The sun was shining mildly when we arrived in the afternoon. We saw the impressive Houses of the Parliament, reflected in the friendly waters of the Danube, crossed by so many bridges. We admired the whole panorama of the city from the height of the Gellert Hegy, where we took some photos. We walked through the Heroes Square reminding us of the great leaders and heroes of the Hungarian People, a group of statues arranged in 2 semi-circles. At the hotel we played the Marshmallow Game. Our best friend proved to be our guide, an English teacher from Tg.Mures, called Huba, who explained us everything patiently and organized the trip. Ziua 1 După atâtea ore de curs solicitante din timpul anului şcolar, noi, un mic grup de elevi din clasele a 5a si a 6a din şcoala noastră, coordonaţi de doamna profesoară de limba engleză, am ales o destinaţie specială de călătorie pe harta Europei: Marea Britanie şi în special Londra. Învăţaserăm multe lucruri interesante despre cultura şi tradiţia acestei ţări şi eram curioşi să îi descoperim peisajele, obiectivele turistice, oamenii şi...modalităţi de distracţie. Eram în prima zi de vacanţă şi chiar doream mult să ne distrăm. Părinţii ne-au oferit această ocazie să călătorim, atâta vreme cât am obţinut rezultate foarte bune la şcoală. Deci iată-ne gata de îmbarcare în autocarul nostru, gata sa traversăm 6 ţări pentru a ajunge la destinaţia noastră finală, Londra. Vise, ambiţii, speranţe, porniţi la drum... În dimineaţa zilei de 21 iunie ne-am luat rămas bun de la părinţi, ne-am aranjat bagajele şi am descoperit noi prieteni din Bistriţa Năsăud care călătoreau cu noi şi pe o fată drăguţă de 17 ani, Cristina din Alexandria, care cîştigase un premiu special de eseuri. După ce am trecut pe lângă câteva monumente din Transilvania o biserică veche din secolul 15 din Huedin, monumentul memorial al lui Octavian Goga din Ciucea, cea mai mare catedrală gotică din ţară din Oradea am ajuns emoţionaţi la graniţa cu Ungaria. Aici ne-am oprit la Budapesta, unde am stat la un hotel frumos. Soarele strălucea blând cînd am ajuns după masa. Am văzut impresionantul Parlament, reflectat în apele prietenoase ale Dunării, traversat de atîtea poduri. Am admirat panorama oraşului de pe înălţimea Muntelui Gellert, unde am făcut câteva poze. Am mers prin Piaţa Eroilor, care ne-a reamintit de marii conducători şi eroi ai poporului maghiar, un grup de statui aranjat în 2 semicercuri. La hotel am jucat un joc amuzant. Cel mai bun prieten s-a dovedit a fi ghidul nostru, un profesor de engleză din Tîrgu Mureş, numit Huba, care ne-a explicat cu răbdare totul despre 1

3 Day 2 Dear Diary, We spent our night at hotel Ventura in Budapest, where we had breakfast early in the morning omelette, milk, cereal and bread. We continued our journey by coach to England, through Hungary. On top of a hill we saw a giant bird made of metal. Next we saw the famous Hungarian windmills in the fields. On the left side of the road there was the oldest monastery created by Stephan the Saint built in the 11 th century. In the coach we played Black Stories. For lunch we stopped in Austria, at a Landzeit restaurant. We liked the food and we were very glad that we could eat cooked food. The girl who served us was dressed in traditional Austrian costume. In this country we stopped to visit the most beautiful town built in gothic style Scharding, situated on the Inn River. We walked down the river on a sunny day and admired the scenery. We saw the Tower House called Rathaus in the centre of the town. The church we visited was called Sankt Georg and had beautiful, colourful icons and an enormous organ. Ana-Sabina Ziua 2 Ne-am petrecut prima noapte la hotelul Ventura din Budapesta unde am servit micul dejun omletă, pâine, lapte si cereale. Ne-am continuat drumul cu autocarul prin Ungaria. Pe vârful unui deal am văzut o pasăre uriaşă din metal. Am văzut, de asemenea, morile de vînt faimoase de pe câmpiile Ungariei. Pe partea dreaptă era cea mai veche mănăstire construită din ordinul lui Stefan cel Sfânt în secolul al XI-lea. In autocar am jucat Black Stories şi ne-am distrat. La amiază ne-am oprit în Austria la un restaurant Landzeit. Ne-a plăcut mâncarea, mai ales că era gătită. Fata care ne-a servit era îmbrăcată în costum naţional austriac. În această ţară ne-am oprit să vizităm cel mai frumos orăşel construit în stil gotic - Scharding, situat pe rîul Inn, afluent al Dunării. Ne-am plimbat de-a lungul râului într-o zi însorită şi am admirat priveliştea. Am văzut Primăria numită Rathaus din centrul oraşului. Biserica pe care am vizitat-o se numeşte Sankt Georg şi avea icoane frumos colorate şi o imensă orgă. Ana-Sabina Pe malul râului Inn şi în biserica Sankt Georg din Scharding Austria 3

4 Day 3 Dear Diary, We woke up after a long and tiring night spent in the coach, dizzy, but still joyful. We continued our adventure by reaching England through the 50.5 km long undersea level Eurotunnel. We felt kind of weird and mostly disappointed about our new experience (it was too short and boring) since it didnt t reach our huge expectations. However, when I found out that the tunnel is considered one of today s 7 wonders of the world, it became more interesting. When we finally got out and I saw England for the first time, I felt amazed by its beauty and out-of-the-ordinary atmosphere. The first place we discovered was Rochester, a little town that impresses you by its simplicity and welcoming atmosphere. We visited Dickens World, a documentary centre created in the writer s honour. In this place we had a lot of fun as we discovered the Victorian period when Charles Dickens became a famous writer. Throughout our journey our guide entertained, excited and educated us. We learned how all kind of people, regardless their wealth and education lived in that age. I personally felt cozy because I got to act out a short passage from one of Charles Dickens books, that made me feel fantastic. We walked curiously along the streets of the enchanted town and I was amazed that all the people were friendly to us, without knowing us. When we finally got to our mobile homes in the Allhallows International Park, on the estuary of the Thames we were impressed by their tidiness and design. This was to become our home for the next 5 days. We are looking forward to what the next day is planning for us! Maria Ziua 3 Ne-am trezit dimineaţa după o noapte lungă şi obositoare petrecută în maşină, ameţiţi dar veseli în acelaşi timp. Ne-am continuat aventura ajungând în Anglia prin Eurotunelul de 50.5 km lungime, situat sub nivelul mării. La ănceput neam simţit puţin cam ciudat şi dezamăgiţi de noua noastră experienţă ( a fost prea scurt şi plictisitor), deoarece ne-am aşteptat la mai mult. Totuşi, când am aflat că este considerată una din cele 7 minuni ale lumii, a devenit mai interesant Când am văzut Anglia în sfârşit, m-am simţit copleşită de frumuseţea ei şi de atmosfera ei deosebită. Primul loc pe care l-am vizitat a fost Rochester, un orăşel din sudul Angliei care m-a impresionat prin simplitatea şi atmsfera lui primitoare.am avut plăcerea să intrăm la Dickens World, un centru documentar şi turistic creat în memoria scriitorului. Aici ne-am distrat descoperind perioada victoriană când Ch.Dickens a devenit cunoscut ca scriitor. Ghidul ne-a stârnit curiozitatea, ne-a distrat şi ne-a educat. Am învăţat cum trăiau oamenii de diferite condiţii sociale. M-am simţit bine când a trebuit să interpretez o scurtă replică dintr-un roman al lui Dickens, ceea ce m-a încântat de-a dreptul. Ne-am plimbat curioşui de-a lungul străduţelor înguste cu multe magazine şi am rămas surprinsă cît de prietenoşi şi apropiaţi erau localnicii, chiar dacă nu ne cunoşteau. Când în cele din urmă am ajuns la destinaţia finală, căsuţele din Tabăra Internaţională Allhallows, situată pe estuarul Tamisei, am fost impresionaţi de curăţenia, ordinea şi designul acestor mini-locuinţe. Aceasta urma să devină casa noastră pentru 5 zile. Aşteptăm cu nerăbdare să vedem ce vom vedea zilele următoare! Maria 4

5 Our short stop in Dickens World and at the Rochester Castle 5

6 Day 4 Dear Diary, This was the first day to discover London. We were all very excited. I appreciated that the guide told us a lot of info about London the fact that they speak about 300 languages, that they are different nationalities European, Asian, African. I saw the doubledeckers crossing the bridges. The first place on the visiting list was The impressive Houses of Parliament, situated in Winchester.I was impressed by its neo-gothic architecture. We walked very close to Westminster Abbey where we found some interesting facts from our guide. Everything was impressive, monumental. After that we headed to the Buckingham Palace to watch the Changing of the guards. The streets were full of people, you could hear music everywhere. The next stop was at St.James Park, a big green place in the heart of London, where hundreds of people spend their free time and relax. We could taste a delicious ice-cream lying in the grass and feeding the pigeons with our sandwiches. Then we went to the Piccaddilly Circus, the busiest crossroad in London, where many Londoners and tourists meet. We admired the huge column with Anteros. We also went to Covent Garden, where we bought souvenirs from many shops and markets. At the National Gallery, situated in Trafalgar Square, we could admire a lot of impressive and famous paintings from all over the world. The sight I will never forget was the London Eye. From the capsule for 45 minutes we could see the whole panorama of the City of London. We got higher and higher and we could see all the important buildings and streets and people and parks. The sun was shining and we were exhausted from the long walks, but happy. Carla Ziua 4 Aceasta este prima zi în care vizităm Londra. Suntem cu toţii foarte emoţionaţi. Am apreciat că ghidul ne-a oferit multe info ăn legătură cu Londra faptul că aici se vorbesc aproximativ 300 de limbi ale lumii, că locuiesc şi lucrează oameni de diferite naţionalităţi şi rase europeni, asciatici, africani. Am văzut doubledeckers care traversau grăbit podul. Primul lucru pe lista de vizitare a fost impresionantul Parlament situat în cartierul Winchester. Am fost impresionată de arhitectura neo-gotică, asemenea unei dantelării în piatră. Am ajuns foarte aproape de Westminster Abbey, cînd ghidul ne-a explicat istoria acestei abaţii renumite. După aceea ne-am îndreptat către Palatul Buckingham ca să urmărim Schimbarea Gărzii. Străzile erau pline de animaţie, muzica se auzea pretutindeni. Următorul popas a fost în Parcul St.James, o oază de verdeaţă situată în inima Londrei, unde sute de oameni îşi petrec timpul liber relaxându-se. Am putu gusta îngheţate delicioase şi am hrănit porumbeii cu sandwich-urile noastre. Apoi am mers la Piccaddily Circus, punctul cel mai aglomerat al Londrei unde se întâlnesc cei mai mulţi londonezi şi turişti. Am admirat înalta coloană cu Anteros din centrul pieţii. Ne-am deplasat şi la Covent Garden, unde am cumpărat suveniruri de la diferite magazine şi standuri comerciale şi am văzut artişti stradali. La Galeria Naţională, situată în Piaţa Trafalgar am putut admira o mulţime de tablouri impresionante şi renumite din întreaga lume. Dar imaginea pe care n-o voi uita este London Eye. Din capsula timpe de 45 minute am putut vedea întreaga panoramă a Centrului Londrei.Ne ridicam tot mai sus şi vedeam toate clădirile importante şi străzile şi parcurile Londrei. Soarele strălucea, iar noi eram obosiţi după atâtea vizite, dar fericiţi. Carla 6

8 Day 5 Dear Diary, Today, Wednesday, was fabulous. We woke up early because we had a busy day. Let me tell you what our mobile homes look like. It looks like a big caravan with five rooms. In one of the mobile homes stays our group: Ana, Carla, teacher Lucy, Nicolaida, Maria and Cristina, while in the other one my dad (Nicu), Ana-Maria (another English teacher), Ilinca and me. Every evening we play a game called Riddle Hunt. The teachers hide English riddles in the living room and we have to find and answer them. The winner is the group which guesses more riddles. I like this game and I like living in the mobile home because it is fun and cosy. In the morning we visited the British Museum, a wonderful museum, where we saw many mummies, ancient necklaces, rings and bracelets, letters written with hieroglyph, Chinese, Japanese writing. Most of all I admired the Rosetta Stone. It is a special stone written in three languages: Greek, Egyptian and Demotic. It is important because it helped the scientists to decipher the ancient hieroglyph scripts. Secondly we walked along the Oxford Street, a real paradise for shopping. I bought a pencil case from a Chinese shop. We visited Primark, a huge shop where I bought two shirts, a pair of shorts and a cool bag. We also entered different famous shops like Zara, Bershka, but I couldn t buy anything as it was too expensive. After that we went to Madame Tussaud s Wax Museum. Here I could see a lot of amazing wax models of famous people. I remember some of them I liked most: Kate Winslet, Bob Marley, Leonardo di Caprio, Julia Roberts, Rihanna, Adelle, Angelina Jolie, Katy Perry, Madonna, Jack Sparrow, Vlad Tepes and Britney Spears. All of them looked like real people. Later we entered a horror tunnel but I wasn t scared at all, I laughed all the time. Then we drove a smaller car that followed a track through The Spirit Ziua 5 Ziua de astăzi, miercuri, a fost fabuloasă. Neam trezit devreme pentru că aveam un program încărcat. Să vă povestesc cum arată casa noastră mobilă. Seamănă cu o caravană mare cu 5 camere. Intr-una este cazat un grup format din Ana, Carla, teacher Lucy, Nicolaida, Maria şi Cristina, în timp ce în cealaltă se află tatăl meu (Nicu),Tudor, Ana-Maria (o altă profesoară de engleză), Ilinca şi cu mine. În fiecare seară jucăm un joc numit Riddle Hunt. Profesorii ascund ghicitori în limba engleză şi noi trebuie să le căutăm şi să le ghicim. Cîştigător este grupul care găseşte şi ghiceşte cele mai multe ghicitori. Imi place jocul şi îmi place să locuiesc în casa mobilă pentru că e amuzantă şi plăcută. Dimineaţa am vizitat Muzeul Britanic, un muzeu extraordinar unde am văzut multe mumii, coliere, inele şi brăţări antice, scrisori scrise cu hieroglife, limba chineză şi japoneză.cel mai mult am admirat Piatra Rosetta. Este o piatră specială scrisă în 3 limbi: Greacă, egipteană şi demotică. Este importantă pentru că a ajutat pe oamenii de ştiinţă să descifreze manuscrisele cu scriere hieroglifică. In al doilea rând ne-am plimbat pe Oxford Street, un adevărat paradis pentru cumpărători. Am cumpărat un penar de la un magazin chinezesc. Am vizitat Primark, un mgazin uriaş,de unde mi-am cumpărat 2 tricouri, un şort şi o geantă neamipomenită. Am mai intrat în magazine de marcă precum Zara, Bershka, dar nu am putut cumpăra nimic, pentru că toate erau foarte scumpe. După aceea am intrat la Muzeul Figurilor de Ceară Madame Tussaud s. Aici am putut admira o mulţime de figuri de ceară ale celor mai faimoşi oameni din toate timpurile. Cel mai mult mi-au plăcut Kate Winslet, Bob Marley, Leonardo di Caprio, Julia Roberts, Rihanna, Adelle, Angelina Jolie, Katy Perry, Jack Sparrow, Vlad Tepeş şi Britney Spears. Toţi arătau ca oamenii reali. Mai târziu am intrat într-un tunel al groazei, dar nu m-am speriat deloc, am râs tot timpul. Apoi am mers cu maşinuţele pe şine urmând Spiritul 8

9 of London - the old and modern times. Everything looked funny and colourful, like a circus. It was fantastic. We came home exhausted. In the evening we had dinner: alphabet soup and pizza. It was delicious! Then we played Riddle Hunt, we didn t win but it was funny, we won more experience. It was a nice day! Mara Londrei vremurile de demult şi de astăzi. Totul părea amuzant şi colorat, asemenea unui circ. Era fantastic. Am ajuns acasă obosiţi. Seara am servit cina: supa alfabet şi pizza. Era delicioasă! Apoi am jucat Riddle Hunt, nu am câştigat, dar a fost amuzant, am câştigat experienţă. A fost o zi drăguţă! Mara 9

11 Day 6 Dear Diary, Today, on Thursday, we woke up at 7 o clock as usual and we had a tasty breakfast. Our mobile home s key was misplaced, so today we are going to have a key hunt. After a short trip along the Thames and Essex river we arrived in Cambridge, situated on the river Cam. Cambridge is a famous university centre, like Oxford (they are in rivalty). The town has a population of about 120,000 people, 31 colleges and 251 schools. 40 % of the population has a college degree. Cambridge University has 10,000 students and it was funded in 1209 with the help of the teachers in Paris. We also visited the King s College, one of the most famous ones, and admired the Sacred Tomb. We had a wonderful time visiting those monuments. We discovered a popular activity in that town, called punting, that is rowing down the river and the guide explaining facts about the monuments while passing by them. To our surprise, the punter of our boat was Romanian, from Tarnaveni. He offered guidance and presented us the universities along the river Cam. There were impressive buildings surrounded by an incredible green of the lawns. After that we chatted with him and we found out that his name was Andrei and he was proud to have graduated Trinity College in this town. His family lived in Oradea. His British was perfect, we could understand almost everything. Back on the coach we had some entertainment. Mara sang in a fabulous way on the microphone her song Every time we touch everybody applauded her. There was another girl from Bistrita who had a good voice. In the end of the day we went to an Asda supermarket to buy food for the mobile home and when we arrived home we had a delicious dinner and then we played a quiz about London and sang traditional English songs. All in all, we had a pleasant day today but now I m tired and I m going to sleep. Goodnight, diary. Ilinca Ziua 6 Astăzi, joi, ne-am sculat devreme, ca de obicei şi am servit un mic dejun gustos. Cheia de la mobile home-ul nostru a dispărut, deci astăzi vom avea o vânătoare de cheie! După a scurtă excursie de-a lungul râului Thames şi Essex am ajuns la Cambridge, situat pe râul Cam. Cambridge este un renumit centru universitar, ca şi Oxford (cu care se află în rivalitate). Oraşul are o populaţie de aproximativ oameni, 31 colegii şi 251 de şcoli. 40 % din populaţie are studii universitare. Universitatea din Cambridge are de strudenţi şi a fost fondată în 1209 cu ajutorul unor profesori din Paris. Aici se află şi o bibliotecă şi editură de carte de limba engleză. Am vizitat King s College, unul din cele mai cunoscute şi am admirat Mormântul Sfânt. Ne-am simţit minunat vizitând acele monumente. Am descoperit o activitate populară din acel oraş numită punting, adică vâslirea ân josul râului, iar ghidul explică turiştilor din barcă despre monumentele pe lângâ care trec. Spre surprinderea noastră, ghidul din barca noastră era din România, Târnăveni. El ne-a prezentat universităţile, bibliotecile şi bisericile situate pe malul râului Cam. Erau clădiri impresionante înconjurate de un verde incredibil al pajiştilor. După aceea am discutat cu el şi am aflat că numele lui este Andrei şi era mândru de faptul că absolvise Trinity College cu un an în urmă. Familia sa locuia în Oradea. Engleza pe care o vorbea era perfectă şi am înţeles aproape tot ce vorbea. În autocar ne-am distrat. Mara a cântat nemaipomenit cântecul ei preferat Every time we touch, toată lumea a aplaudat-o. Era o fată din Bistriţa care a cântat, de asemenea, câteva cântece în română şi engleză. In cele din urmă am mers la un supermarket Asda pentru cumpărături pentru acasă (mobile home) şi când am ajuns acasă am servit o cină delicioasă şi am făcut un quiz despre Londra şi am cântat câteva cântece tradiţionale englezeşti. În concluzie, am avut cu toţii o zi plăcută azi dar acum sunt obosită şi mă duc la culcare. Noapte bună, jurnalule... Ilinca 11

13 Day 7 Dear Diary, This was another day in London, more exactly the last one. We woke up very early in the morning, at 5 a.m. We were stressed because our mobile home was a mess (but finally we cleaned everything up) and he had to pack up for our departure back home. Firstly, we visited Greenwich Park. I enjoyed the greenish field/lawn and I imagined myself living in a world with beautiful landscapes. From up the hill we could have the view of the whole city of London, which took my breath away. From there we took the train (underground) to Bank, the final destination, to visit Shakespeare s Globe Theatre. It was rebuilt 3 times, the last building we see now was built in 1997 and keeps the structure of the original theatre. It has no roof as in Shakespeare s time there was no electrical power for the lights. The most expensive seats were right on the stage, so that the audience could see their rich outfit. The cheapest seats were on the ground level. A nice and funny actress was our guide, who explained everything about the theatre and the art of acting. Using a funny game we acted in groups scenes from the drama Romeo and Juliet.It was interesting, energetic and spontaneous and we learned how to express our feelings in an interactive way. I can t tell you much about the Tower Bridge as I felt a pain on the left side of my stomach. The Tower was amazing. We surrounded it and we admired the 3-walled emblematic fortress, which was visited by many foreign tourists. Then we took a break to have some fish and chips, the English traditional food. It was very hot so we also enjoyed a delicious ice-cream while sitting on some large stone benches. Ziua 7 Aceasta a fost o altă zi petrecută la Londra, mai exact ultima. Ne-am trezit devreme dimineaţa, la 5. Eram cam stresaţi pentru că trebuia să strângem tot din apartament, sa lăsă curat, aşa cum am găsit (în cele din urmă ne-am descurcat) şi a trebuit să ne pregătim bagajele pentru întoarcerea acasă. Mai întâi am vizitat Parcul Greenwhich. Ne-am bucurat de priveliştea parcului imens de un verde incredibil de proaspăt şi miam imaginat că trăiesc într-o lume cu peisaje încântătoare. De la înălţimea dealului am putut să avem imaginea de ansamblu a întregului oraş Londra, ceea ce mi-a tăiat respiraţia de emoţie. De acolo am luat trenul (metroul) spre Bank, staţia finală, ca să vizităm Teatrul Globe al lui W.Shakespeare. A fost reconstruit de 3 ori din cauza incendiilor, ultima, cea mai recentă de astăzi a fost construită în 1997 şi păstrează structura teatrului original. Nu are acoperiş, pentru că în vremea lui Shakespeare nu exista curent electric pentru iluminare. Cele mai scumpe locuri erau pentru specatatorii bogaţi, care se aşezau pe scenă, ca să le fie admirate hainele. Cele mai ieftine locuri erau în partea de jos, în faţa scenei. Ghidul nostru era o actriţă simpatică, ea ne-a explicat tot ce trebuia să ştim despre acest teatru celebru şi câte ceva din arta interpretării pe scenă. Folosing un joc amuzant am interpretat ăn 2 grupe antagoniste scene din drama Romeo şi Julieta. Totul era interesant, plin de energie şi spontan şi am învăţat cum să ne exprimăm sentimentele prin replici, într-un mod interactiv. Nu pot să vă spun prea multe despre Tower Bridge întrucât am simţit o durere acută în partea stângă a stomacului. Turnul Londrei era fascinant. L-am înconjurat şi i-am văzut cele 3 rânduri de ziduri de apărare contruite în timpuri diferite. Fortăreaţa simbolică a Londrei era vizitată de sute de turişti din întreaga lume. Apoi am făcut o pauză ca să mâncăm fish and chips, mâncarea tradiţională a englezilor. Era foarte cald, deci ne-am bucurat să savurăm o îngheţată delicioasă în timp ce şedeam pe nişte bănci mari de piatră din faţa Turnului Londrei. 13

14 In the end, we took the train back to Greenwich to visit the National Maritime Museum. We took photos and we were curious to see Admiral Nelson s jacket with the hole where he was shot during the Spanish War, and special sea battle equipment. We bought souvenirs for our family. It was nice but it was not my cup of tea! Then we picked up our plenty of luggage from the camp to travel back home and to cross the English Channel. Nicolaida În cele din urmă, am luat trenul înapoi spre Greenwich ca să vizităm Muzeul Naţional Britanic. Am făcut poze şi eram curioşi să vedem tunica militară a Amiralului Nelson cu o gaură pe unde a trecut glonţul mortal în timpul Războiului din Spania şi echipamentul navelor de război britanice. Am cumpărat suveniruri pentru familie. A fost draguţ, dar nu chiar genul meu de vizită! Apoi ne-am strâns mulţimea de bagaje din tabără ca să călătorim spre casă şi să traversăm Canalul Mânecii spre întoarcere. Nicolaida 14

16 Day 8 Dear Diary, I am not a romantic, but in the evenings I used to stroll along the seaside, seeing the estuary of the Thames from our camp. I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, looking for pebbles and seashells along the coast. In the morning, it was low tide, the waters were far behind in the sea, all you could see was wet, damp land, which in the evenings was covered as usual by water. The incredible thing about the weather was that every single day of our trip was sunny, sometimes windy. No rains, no bad weather, lucky for us! We started our voyage back to Europe and Romania, our home. After we crossed the English Channel, we travelled back through Belgium, Germany, Austria and Hungary. We spent a difficult night sleeping in the coach. After some short stops at gas stations we had a beautiful, incredible sight: that of the Cathedral of Melk, in Austria. It is a magnificent Benedictine settlement,built between , one of the most famous sights in Europe, being included in the cultural UNESCO heritage. Outside the abbey you can see a huge gate with the statues of Saint Stephan and Saint Paul. The abbey was decorated in a baroques style and inside it there are decorations with hundreds of kilograms of gold. Sadly, our Romanian guide couldn t explain anything in the courtyard, since they had their own guide. We walked along the alleys of the abbey and stepped inside the huge cathedral where we could admire the statues, icons and decorations and we could listen to wonderful religious music during a wedding ceremonial. After visiting this place (it was sunny, too), we continued our way back to Romania through Hungary, where we stayed at another hotel called Hunor. The greatest fact about this trip is that I made some friends from Bistrita. I had a lot of fun with them, but sadly tomorrow we are going to leave one another. The most amazing place we ve been together was in Cambridge, where we walked through the town and had a lot of fun. Day 8 Nu sunt romantic de felul meu, dar serile obişnuiam să mă plimb de-a lungul mării, acolo unde marea se întâlneşte cu estuarul Tamisei, unde se afla tabăra noastră. Imi plăcea atmosfera liniştită, cum căutam pietricele şi scoici. Dimineaţa era reflux, apele se retrăgeau departe înspre mare, tot ce puteai vedea era un pământ umed, mlăştinos, care seara se umplea cu apă. Imi plăcea această mişcare permanentă a mării. Cel mai incredibil lucru despre vreme a fost că în fiecare zi a excursiei noastre a fost vreme însorită, cu puţin vânt. Nici o ploaie sau vreme urâtă, ce noroc! Aşadar, am început excursia noastră spre Europa, spre România, casa noastră. După ce am traversat Canalul Mânecii, am călătorit înapoi spre Belgia, Germania, Austria şi Ungaria. Am petrecut o noapte grea, obositoare pe autocar, dar a doua zi ne-am înviorat. După câteva opriri scurte la benzinării am avut plăcerea să vedem un lucru minunat, incredibil: Catedrala din Melk, Austria. Este un eşezământ mănăstiresc (900 de persoane), construit între , una din cele mai cunoscute obiective turistice, inclus în patrimoniul cultural UNESCO. În faţa mânăstirii vezi o poartă enormă cu statuile sf.petru şi Pavel. Mânăstirea a fost decorate în stil baroc şi în interior vezi decoraţii şi statui acoperite cu sute de kilograme de aur! Din păcate, ghidul nostrum nu avea voie să prezinte în incinta mănăstirii deoarece era un ghid plătit care făcea acest lucru. Ne-am plimbat pe aleile pietruite ale mânăstirii şi am păşit cu sfială în interiorul catedralei unde am putut admira statuile, decoraţiile bogate şi fresca. Am putut, de asemenea, să ascultăm muzică religioasă divină în timpul unui ceremonial de nuntă. După vizitarea acestui loc (însorit) ne-am continuat drumul spre casă prin Ungaria, unde am stat la un alt hotel numit Hunor. Cel mai extraordinary lucru din această excursie este ca mi-am facut nişte prieteni din Bistriţa. M- am distrat mult cu ei, dar din păcate mâine ne vom despărţi. Cel mai uimitor lucru a fost că am fost împreună la Cambridge, unde ne-am plimbat prin oraş împreună şi ne-am amuzat. 16

17 Another important fact that happened during the trip was that on the last day the guide organized a quiz about all the places we have visited so far. Many children in the coach were rewarded for their good results. Can you guess who came first? Me. I got a mug with the symbol of the Studentlines who organized the trip. I would like to thank everybody who organized the trip and made us feel safe and cosy. Tudor Un alt lucru important care mi s-a întâmplat în această excursie a fost că ghidul a organizat în ultima zi un concurs despre locurile vizitate. Mulţi copii din autocar au fost răsplătiţi pentru rezultate bune. Ghici cine a ieşit câştigător la grupa mea de vârstă? Eu. Am primit o cană cu inscripţia Studentlines pe ea (firma care a organizat excursia. Aş dori să mulţumesc tutuor celor care au organizat excursia şi ne-au făcut să ne simţim bine şi în siguranţă.

19 Day 9 Dear Diary, In this last part I ll just tell you my overall impression about this great trip I ve been so lucky to take part in. As you see, I ll never have enough words to describe he feelings I experienced while discovering the great beauties of London mainly, but also of Rochester, Cambridge and Budapest. Firstly, I ll write something about Budapest, the first city we visited. I have to admit that the place was beyond my expectations. I didn t imagine it is so impressive, so full of genuine history. Another place that impressed me was Scharding. This little town cooled us down with its peaceful atmosphere and enriched our general knowledge. Now let s get straight to the topic, describing my impressions about Great Britain. At Rochester we discovered Charles Dickens birthplace. At Dickens World Centre we were taken by the guide into a challenging journey through the Victorian Age, in the 19 th century. There we had the chance to fully understand the way people lived and how hard it was for Dickens to become the world-wide known writer he is today. The following day was spent in that fabulous city I ve always dreamt of visiting, London. Since morning deep feelings of joy and excitement engulfed me and I knew that it would be the perfect day, one of the best ones in my life. So many places, each one with its own history. Even if we have read or studied about them at school, there is nothing greater than seeing them through our own eyes. The Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, in short, the English symbols, all seemed so impressive, elegant and special in their style and design that I was left speechless. I felt so tiny and unimportant in front of these emblematic monuments, just like any other human being that comes there to wonder (to be honest, that is what I really was, but I like to believe that my feelings are personal and unique). Day 9 În această ultimă parte a jurnalului îţi voi spune impresia mea generală despre această excursie extraordinară în care am avut norocul să particip. După cum vezi, nu voi avea destule cuvinte potrivite să descriu sentimentele pe care le-am experimentat în timp ce am descoperit frumuseţile Londrei, dar şi ale celorlalte oraşe vizitate, Rochester, Cambridge şi Budapesta. În primul rând, voi scrie câteva rânduri despre Budapesta, primul oraş vizitat. Trebuie să recunosc că acest oraş a fost mai presus de aşteptările mele. Nu mi-am imaginat că este atât impresionant, atât de plin de istorie autentică. Un alt loc care m-a impresionat a fost Scharding. Acest orăşel a avut puterea să ne liniştească cu atmosfera sa paşnică, prietenească şi ne-a ajutat să ne îmbogăţim cunoştinţele. Acum haide să ajungem în miezul lucrurilor, descriindu-mi impresiile despre Marea Britanie. La Rochester am descoperit locul de naştere al lui Charles Dickens. La Centrul Universul lui Dickens am fost transportaţi de ghidul nostru într-o fascinantă călătorie prin Epoca Victoriană, în secolul al XIX-lea. Acolo am avut şansa să înţelegem felul în care trăiau oamenii şi cât de greu i-a fost lui Dickens să se afirme ca un scriitor renumit, cum este considerat în zilele noastre. Următoarea zi am petrecut-o în acel oraş fabulos pe care am visat întodeauna să-l vizitez, Londra. De dimineaţa mă animau sentimente de bucurie şi emoţie şi am ştiut că va fi ziua perfectă, una din cele mai bune din viaţa mea. Atâtea locuri, fiecare cu istoria sa. Chiar dacă am citit sau am studiat la şcoală despre ele, nu se compară cu imaginea lor reală, impresionantă. Clădirea impunătoare a Parlamentului, Big Ben, Buchingham Palace, pe scurt, simbolurile Angliei, toate păreau atât de impunătoare, elegante şi speciale şi stilul lor, încât m-au lăsat fără grai. Mă simţeam atât de mică şi lipsită de importanţă în faţa acestor clădiri emblematice ca orice persoană care vine să admire (de fapt, asta chiar eram, dar îmi place să cred că sentimentele mele sunt personale şi unice). Un alt loc pe care l-aş menţiona este Muzeul 19

20 An important place I would like to mention is the British Museum, with its precious collections of mummies, Roman and Greek sculptures and antique remains. I m not really keen on history, however it impressed me a lot. The visit to Shakespeare s Globe Theatre offered us the most interactive lesson and history and mostly drama. It was, to me, the perfect way to understand Shakespeare s works and intelligence, all this with our friendly guide s help. Cambridge was a desired break after tiring days spent in London, by visiting so many places. I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the university centre, I enjoyed the walks along the cobbled streets with my new friends, while admiring the beauty of the most famous colleges in the world. Even if there are many other attractions which are worth writing about I think it s time to end. The memories about London will always remain in my mind and heart. People s kindness, the special atmosphere and the magnificent places make me want so much to be part of their community. Who knows, maybe one day my dream will come true! Cristina Britanic, cu colecţiile sale preţioase de mumii, sculpturi şi obiecte de artă romane şi greceşti şi ruine antice. Nu sunt prea pasionată de istorie, totuşi m-au impresionat mult. Vizita la Teatrul Globe al lui Shakespeare ne-a oferit cea mai interactivă lecţie de istorie literară şi dramă. A fost, după mine, modul perfect de a înţelege operele şi inteligenţa marelui dramaturg, totul cu ajutorul graţios al ghidului nostru actor. Cambridge a fost o pauză binevenită după zile obositoare petrecute la Londra, unde am vizitat atâtea locuri. Ne-am bucurat de atmosfera paşnică a acestui centru universitar, am savurat plimbările pe străduţele pietruite înguste, unde am întâlnit studenţi şi profesori universitari, am putut admira frumuseţea celor mai frumoase colegii din lume. Chiar dacă sunt multe alte atracţii care merită menţionate, cred că este timpul să pun capăt descrierii. Amintirile despre Londra vor rămâne întotdeauna întipărite în inima şi în mintea mea. Amabilitatea oamenilor, atmosfera speciale şi locurile minunate vizitate mă fac să îmi doresc atât de mult să fiu parte din acea comunitate. Cine ştie, poate într-o bună zi visul meu va deveni realitate! Cristina With my friends in England, visiting fabulous places 20
