London Day 1

After a very, very long flight I finally arrived in London!
The adventure from Heathrow Airport to my homestay was something out of this world!
First, me and a group of teachers decided to take the underground instead of the Heathrow Express to get there. I had to buy the oyster card, which is a travel card to travel around the city by using public transport (tube, bus). I decided to charge it for the whole week so I wouldn`t have to pay for the transport everyday. It's actually cheaper and much more convenient.
The weather was really cold and wet and I had to carry my bags all the way...
Each one of us left on a different station to go on to our host family homes.
I must say I was a bit scared when I was left alone because I had no idea of where I was!
When I left at Golders Green Station I had to ask how to get to the address I had and I got to know it was quite far from the station, so had to take a bus and it was my first time on a double decker bus!!!
What was really interesting and surprising to me was to discover how helpful the British are! Everyone I asked for help was really kind!
Afterwards, I had to walk quite a lot to my house, under heavy rain and wid wind, but I finally got there!
