It was finally Saturday morning, and the friends were getting ready for their first dia of exploring Londres together after two days of classes. Nicholas said to Rosie, "It's another lovely day, isn't it? I'm very excited to go out with you, love." Rosie replied, "It certainly is, and I feel the same, too! Is your Oyster Card ready?" "Yes, it is. How did you get yours, Rosie?" "I bought it while waiting for the approval of my visa." "I see. Well, it's a good thing that you can buy one in the Embassy." "Yep." As they exited, Rosie called the receptionist to request the housekeeper to clean the dorm. She also flipped the doorknob sign. Before walking to the Russell Square Tube station, Rosie and Nicholas decided to eat breakfast at the same restaurant she went to on her first dia of class. Now, because it was Saturday, the train was not very crowded and the friends were able to relax during the ride. They got down at the High rua Kensington station, which is just a few blocks away from Kensington Gardens, their first stop for the day. During the walk, they passed por the Natural History Museum and Royal Albert Hall. Rosie became awed por the sight of the latter that she took a fotografia of it. Nicholas remarked, "That's a splendid fotografia that you took." "Thank you." Said Rosie. Soon, they made it to the Gardens. Inside, they took mais photos, frolicked around playfully, and even hugged while lying down on the grass. As they were hugging, their noses touched each other, which resulted in a loving nose rub with giggles. They also saw Kensington Palace and the statue of queen Victoria, who was one of the palace's former residents along with Princess Diana. Rosie and Nicholas took turns in taking fotografias of themselves within the palace grounds. Afterwards, they left the gardens through the other gate and headed straight for Notting Hill. Rosie thought as they walked, "First, I met and became friends with a Liverpudlian, and now I'm exploring my favorito city with him. This is the best thing that has ever happened to me!" Nicholas also felt very happy on the inside now that he has a friend at last, to the extent where he felt that his college years are going to be even better than his elementary and high school combined. He was also joyful to know that he will be protected from Jason and his new gang. In Notting Hill, they visited some souvenir shops, including one that was selling mural plaques of vintage show, concerto posters. In that shop, Rosie bought one with the Beatles' Abbey Road album cover printed on it. The friends also bought mais Beatles shirts. The place was alive with many buskers, dancers, and shoppers. They even danced along to the music. Meanwhile, in another part of the borough, Jason was on his witch hunt for Nicholas again. This time, he was with his new gang. Two of the members of this gang, whose nicknames are Scruffy and Buzzy, seemed to be unaware of what Jason was really doing. They were also quite clumsy. When Jason stopped walking, it caused them to bump and made the gang fall into a heap. "Oof!" Exclaimed Jason. "Will you watch where you're going seguinte time?" "Sorry." Replied Scruffy and Buzzy in unison. Rosie and Nicholas were already looking for a place to eat before going back to their dorm when Jason spotted them from afar. "Aha! There's that fake-accented, messy-haired animal." He still doesn't know though, that Nicholas has a new-found friend por his side who is ready to defend him at any cost. Jason was running very fast that he didn't realize that someone threw a banana peel on his path. He slipped and slid down the sloping road and crashed onto a kiosk selling aquariums filled with water. All of the tanks catapulted into the air and were shattered into pieces. When his gang caught up, Scruffy and Buzzy laughed hysterically at the now wet and soggy Jason. He was so furious that his face turned fiery red and was about to scream at the two when he suddenly sput out a live fish, which made them laugh even more. The lady who was selling the aquariums looked at Jason sternly and said, "You are a very careless and naughty boy! Just look what you've done to my precious aquariums! You will now have to clean up the mess that you've made." Jason said nothing while he did the work afterwards. Rosie and Nicholas had just finished their meal and were walking back to the Tube station. Rosie exclaimed, "That was a really fun dia that we had. We even bought some mais Beatles merchandise!" Nicholas replied, "We sure did! I had a super enjoyable time, love." "Me too!" They returned to their newly cleaned dorm very tired, but very happy indeed.
It is now is the last dia for exploring, and we wanted to make the most of today before packing our things. My father got intrigued por a barco ride around the lake, so he asked us if we would like to try one. We got excited and accepted his offer right away. Our starting point for the barco ride is at the tourist center in Montreux, where we bought the tickets. The ride was very relaxing and fun with the calm, crystal blue waters and snow-capped Alps. We stopped at the Vevey pier near the town square. After dropping off, we explored the area, ate lunch, and bought plenty of souvenirs. As the dia drew to a close, we took some last minuto photos. We rested for a few minutos before packing up. I sighed and said to myself, "I'm going to miss this beautiful place so much. But I know we will visit here again soon."
After my parents had finished their conversation with Dave, they told me that we will be having a dia out with his family tomorrow. I got so excited that I almost couldn't sleep. The seguinte day, we met his wife, Sophie, and their two daughters in the lobby. They were very happy to meet us. We then rode the bus going to Vevey, as the family planned to visit the Alimentarium comida Museum. They have visited Chillon Castle, too. Although we've already been there, we decided to accompany them. It soon turns out that our segundo visit was mais fun because we had mais companions, and we also had a conversation in the cafe while eating some ice cream. When the museum closed, we took a stroll along the lakeside, taking lots of fotografias and videos. It was a really enjoyable family dia out and we had a magnificent time together.
The last museum for our tour is the Historical Museum of Vevey. This museum showcases the history of the city and its surrounding areas. It also has a mission to preserve its cultural heritage. The exhibits here feature Vaud and Swiss furniture, handicrafts, old weapons, medal collections, manuscripts, engravings and paintings of minor Swiss masters. There is also a room showcasing a local event known as "The Feast of the Brotherhood of Winegrowers", which takes place about every twenty years and whose purpose is to protect the interest of vineyards and vine growers. All in all, it was a very interesting museum and we enjoyed it.
The seguinte museum we went to was the Swiss Camera Museum, which is located in Vevey, too. In this museum, there are exhibits showcasing the history of fotografia and film. It even displays some vintage cameras. We also watched a hilarious short film in the theater before leaving. In the following day, we visited the Swiss Museum of Games. This museum is just a short walk away from our hotel, and what makes it unique is that it's housed in a castle. Inside the museum were exhibits of classic games, from marbles to chess, as well as retro and modern video games. Our visits to both museums were splendid and we had a very lovely time.
