London 2012: Our day off (Schems, Germany)

We were all excited about this day, Friday 15th June; because it was the day we pupils were allowed to follow our own interests in groups of a minimum of three. Helen, Daria, Lisa and I decided to first go to Regent’s Street.
To get there we had to take the underground.

When we saw the station, we had to rush by crowds of people, who were blocking all the ways. All of us were in a hurry, because we wanted to get on this train so we wouldn’t have to wait some minutes for the next one. We rushed down the escalator without pushing or punching any people. When we finally reached the platform I jumped in before the doors closed, thinking the other girls were with me. Suddenly the doors shut and I saw them still standing on the platform.


As if we weren’t frustrated enough, a man behind Daria, Helen and Lisa clapped his hands and waved, saying: “Great! Bye bye!” We thought it was very rude of him and not nice at all. He certainly wasn’t showing manners.
Furthermore, when I rode along on the tube by myself, some people wouldn’t stop laughing at the situation. It was really embarrassing!
But thankfully I knew which stop I had to get off so I did just that and waited.
Some minutes later I saw my friends getting off the next train and then we were all reunited.
In the end we couldn’t stop laughing about it either, because we hadn’t expected anything like this to happen at the very beginning of our “day off”.
We were glad when we arrived at Regent’s Street. It’s great! There are so many shops!!
This day was really fun and we saw many memorable things - including a person from the royal family when Camilla Parker-Bowles was driving past us in front of Buckingham Palace and waving at us...
