Studienfahrt 2011 - Our educational tour to London
Our educational tour to London
On 3rd September 2011 at 5pm: A bus with one bus driver, three teachers – Mrs Kühnast, Mrs Pannicke and Mrs Rüger – and thirty students started going to London / England.
About seventeen or eighteen hours we were on tour. Earlier than expected we arrived at our hostel but we were not allowed to move into our rooms at 10am.
We wanted to take a shower, we were tired and nerved but we are also young and dynamic and we had a travelcard. And so we went to the next underground station – King’s Cross St. Pancras – and hurled ourselves into the big-city-life of London.
At 2pm we met at the Clink Hostel again.
With the room cards in our hands we went to our rooms and when we took a first look in, there was a deadly silence in the first moment.
In this situation it is useful to know that the Clink Hostel was an ancient prison. And … you can see it.
The rooms of the girls were in the cellar, the walls were coloured in dark green. There were six beds in one room of eight square metres. Two little windows with the size of a book gave a little bit of light.
But we have courage, we are strong: We survived the afternoon, the first night and the following days in the hostel as we didn’t come to London only to stay at the hostel. In the following days we explored the capital of the UK. We crossed the River Thames in a tunnel under the river. We went to Greenwich because we wanted to see the Prime Meridian. Afterwards we made a sightseeing tour on a ship on the River Thames. We passed London Bridge, the Globe Theatre, … and we stopped at Westminster. The sun was shining. The rest of this beautiful day we had free time. Some of us went to St. Paul’s Cathedral, visited Buckingham Palace or went shopping in Oxford Street.
On Tuesday we had a workshop in the Globe Theatre, also called “Shakespeare’s Theatre”. A strange and entertaining actor tried to get a feeling for Shakespeare’s dramas across to us. Again we had an afternoon for using our travelcard on our own.
The evenings we spent together outside and visited London at night.
On Wednesday we went by bus to Oxford, which is known for its university, the “University of Oxford”. So we had a guided tour in Oxford and one of its colleges.
Thursday was our last day in the capital of Great Britain. We had to pack our bags, put them in our bus and afterwards we went by underground to the “Tower Bridge”-station where we got off. The last point of our programme was visiting the Tower of London, home of the Crown Jewels and an ancient prison like our hostel. J It was interesting, especially for fans of “The Tudors”.
Hours of busdriving awaited us but before this we had time for leaving the rest of our money in London.
And in the end – when we all had got on the bus, when we had crossed the Strait of Dover by ferry and when the film we had watched in the bus was over – we all were tired and content and so we all fell asleep happily, dreaming of the Crown Jewels, fish and chips and the Queen.
