*Excursion to Barcelona*

Hello everybody! :)
My mother and I went to an excursion to Barcelona yesterday.
Firstly, we visited Parc Guell. It has a very specific modern architecture...It was interesting to look at it, but honestly speaking I didn't like it.
After that, we went to Sagrada Familia. It's a cathedral, which was founded by Gaudi, and it'll be finished in 2026. It looks very unusual.

The most excit
ing part of excursion was watching "singing" fountains. They changed colours and music...It was really fantastic!!! I made a lot of photos and one video :)

Moscow




Moscow City






I've been staying in Queenswood for 11 days, but I'm missing Moscow-my favourite city!
Moscow is the capital and the largest city of Russia. It is also the largest metropolitan area in Europe, and ranks among the largest urban areas in the world. Moscow is a major political, economic, cultural, religious, financial, educational, and transportation centre of Russia and the world, a global city.


Our trip to Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle

We went on academic excursion to Windsor Castle yesterday.
Windsor Castle, in Windsor in the English county of Berkshire, is the largest inhabited castle in the world and, dating back to the time of William the Conqueror, is the oldest in continuous occupation.
Together with Buckingham Palace in London and Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, it is one of the principal official residences of the British monarch. Queen Elizabeth II spends many weekends of the year at the castle, using it for both state and private entertaining.


As for me, I really enjoyed beautiful landscapes and views of England. My friends and I made some photos, went for walks around the castle. When we entered the museum, we found ourselves in a pleasant atmosphere of kings' and queens' lives.
I wrote two projects about Tudor dynasty and queen Victoria, so, it was very interesting and exciting for me to "see" the history of England.








So, I really enjoyed my time in Windsor, and I'd like to go there one more time! :)

My Life in Queenswood

My Life in Queenswood
I've spent one week in Queenswood and it's been a very nice week. I've made new friends, gone to some excursions (to British Museum, Oxford street, Thorpe park).
Speaking about activities, my friends and I chose badminton. We enjoyed the game, but sometimes it was very annoying when activity leaders told us whom we had to play with.
There are many beautiful places to go to, so we enjoy breathing fresh air and chatting.
I don't like the fact that we have to be in bed at 11 p.m. and wake up at 7 a.m. In the evening we usually chat with each other, but after activities we have only 30 minutes to do that.
I have only 3 days left...and I want to enjoy them greatly! Everybody's friendly at Queenswood, so I'd like to stay here more than 4 days. :)

My trip to London :)


On Wednesday we went to London. It was a nice trip. However, the weather wasn't very nice...Sometimes it rained, sometimes it was really windy.

We walked around the center of London and saw Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, St James chapel.


We saw the change of royal guardians. It's just like a ceremony for english people. The Guards have very funny hats :)


We had packed lunch, but after we ate, we couldn't find a rubbish bin! That was annoying.


We also went to the British Museum. There my group and me had to find information about Egypt.


On the whole, the trip was very nice, and I really liked walk around the British Museum :)
