My best holiday Last December my mother and I flew to London. The first thing we did was to go on a one-hour bus sightseeing tour. This is the best way to see all the sights and learn all about the history of a city. By the time the tour was over it was dark and we now experienced London by night. The Christmas lights were just amazing. And what really impressed me was how so many people made their way home through the heavy traffic on bicycles. I was looking forward to spending the next day in Oxford Street with all its amazing shops. And what an experience that was! We bought a ticket for the underground (The British people call it the “tube”) and could go everywhere very quickly. We spent all morning shopping and admiring the Christmas displays inside the shops and out in the streets. Then it was back to the hotel with all our parcels and out again to do some sightseeing. First we went to a wax museum called Madame Tussauds, which had a lot of wax figures of famous people. My mother took a picture of me standing between Prince Charles and Prince Harry. From there we took the tube to Buckingham Palace, the home of the two princes, to watch the Changing of the Guards but unfortunately we could not really see well as there were thousands of tourists waiting to take photos of the ceremony.
