A very special trip

The students of one year less of us, this week are in Hemel Hempstead, a town in Hertfordshire, England. We also went there one year ago, I remember it perfectly. It was very special. For me it was the first trip outside of Spain that I went with the school and it served to make friends with some other students. 

Laura and I went together in the same family, I do not remember which their name was but what I remember is that they were very kind, cheerful and treated us very well. We always had the breakfast ready when we woke up in the morning, in the evening we had dinner all together and some nights, we also watched some TV programs or movies while we were talking with them about the day, what we had visited...

One day we went to Cambridge, where I had always wanted to go because I have gone to England in several times but I never had been in this city and furthermore, because my sister Núria had been living there for two months the winter before we went. Of course, we also went to London, but this time the visit was quite different than the other times I had been there. Obviously we went to see Big Ben and London Eye, but we went to see London Street and Camden town, too. Two sites in London which had always heard about it but that I had never been, and possibly, some of the best experiences that I will remember of England.

What I will never forget of this trip will be Wembley Stadium. I remember that when we entered in the corridors and in the changing rooms I was very excited, but that when we went through the tunnel, as the professional football players do, and we came out onto the football pitch, my legs were trembling. I thought that I was in the site where the professional football players are and that in this particularly, in Wembley, the Barça’s footballers would be playing and winning the final of the Champions League 2011.

We went to many more places, but those I have described were which I liked more. I hope that students now are in London, everyone will enjoy just as well that us.
