Another rainy day. Whilst those with penfriends are spending their last day at school, we are meeting a Waitrose manager who kindly answer our questions. We then get to Royal Tunbridge Wells for a tour of the town. 1.00pm we are back together for a last visit in Canterbury before going back to France.
This morning we are heading of to Mitcham. We are meeting Stephen from the bioregional charity. Their aim is to promote sustainable in new developments. In Mitcham they 've created an eco village called Bedzed. We had the chance to visit a show house and do lots of experiences to see if we were eco citizen.
Lunch time : we are going for a walk near Tower Bridge, just in time for our last visit, a campus tour of Queen Mary University. We realised that student 's life in the UK is different from France.
18.30, after a long journey back in traffic jam, it is time to spend our last evening in England.
We spent our 3rd day in London. We started by a walking tour where we saw most of London's main attractions (even the Queen being driven to Downing street...). We had the rest of the day to enjoy christmas shopping. A quick tour by bus to see London by night and we are back in Tonbridge.
Today we went to coca cola. The visit was very interesting. We got a business presentation of the company and a tour of the factory. We then went back to school and did a tour of the buildings. A bit different to our school. We left those of us with penfriends to go to Maidstone. Darren Bridget gave us an interesting presentation on sustainable development but also answered all our questions on the public organisations in the uk.
So far we are all happy with our penfriends and host families, the sun is shinning. Very good time.
6.00 pm : leaving to go to England. A night in a bus is not the best part of our trip but it has to be done... 9.30 am 21 lucky students get to finally their penfriends. As for Mrs Buchon, 9 STMG and myself, we are aiming to London. All our visits were done in slow motion but we all enjoyed a very empty science museum, very busy Harrods and even more getting to our host family at 18. 30. Definitely an early night tonight
