London/Ireland

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, I have been away for 10 days and was very busy! First I took the underground train system from Lille to London, it took about one hour and twenty minutes, it was really fast actually. I then met up with my old host family from Canada (previous 3 months exchange I did), it was so good to see them! I missed them so much. In London we did all the touristy things, which was really good because it was my first time in London. The weather was okay, one day it was over 20 but i rained a lot one of the days too. On the second night we went to Phantom of the Opera on broadway, which was so awesome. We visited heaps of castles and went to a lot of old buildings. After 5 days in London we continued on with our travels, we took the plane from Heathrow Airport to Dublin! Dublin was so cool, it was a lot more relaxed then London, I really liked London but it was always really busy, and the people were so nice in Dublin. We took two day trips around Ireland, one went to North Ireland (Belfast) and the other went to the West of Ireland (Galway). The Galway bus trip was my favourite, we got to stop at the Cliffs of Moher which was probably the most amazing natural thing I have ever seen. They are huge cliffs looking over the Atlantic Ocean. In Belfast I got to go to the place where Titanic was made and first hit the sea, it was really cool. It was then time for home! It went so fast, but the last day of travelling was going to be a long one... We took the bus from our Hotel to the airport (40 minutes), then we took a plane from Dublin to London (1 hour 10), then we took a train from Heathrow airport to central London (one hour), then we took the train from London to Lille! And finally my host mum was there to pick me and Shalen (Canadian host sister) up, the rest of the family flew back to Canada, but Shalen came back to Lille for 3 days to see another friend who lived here and so I could show her a bit around Lille. Now to holidays are over and it's back to school until the summer break.
