My excursion to London

Yesterday, my class and me went on the seniors' excursion to London, which was fun. At first we had a guided walking tour of London, where we could see Westminister Abbey, House of Parliament and Big Ben, Downing Street (with barriers all around unfortunately) and Buckingham Palace. The most impressive thing about the tour was the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace and the horse guards changed as well. It's quite astonishing that the horses remain standing still for such a long time although all tourists want to take photos. Our guide told us some very interesting stories, e.g. about Oliver Cromwell's head once being spiked up on the House of Parliament or the secret room in the Treasury, where Winston Churchill secretly directed the army during the second World War.
After a small lunch break, we visited the British Museum. As it's so large, we concentrated on one room, for me it were the Egyptian sculptures, where I had to answer some questions. Especially the sculptures of all the pharaos are soooo big and have been existing for such a long time now......
