We had free time till midday. We slept a bit longer this day because we had been so tired. We met at the railway station in Eastbourne because we went to Brighton. There we went shopping in beautiful small shops. Afterwards we went to SEALIFE where we saw lots of cool fish and other animals which live in the deep sea. Then we went to the sea. The water was very cold, but some of us tried to put their feet into the water. We found some huge shells at the beach. Then we travelled back to Eastbourne.

We had lessons in the morning this day- our last ones! Then we went to the beach where we collected some shells. At the post office we met our teachers to make the second part of the Eastbourne treasure hunt. That is a quiz about Eastbourne. The first part we had had to do on Monday. At home we had dinner and talked with our host family.

In the morning our host families brought us with our heavy suitcases to the bus station. The bus took us to London where we went to Buckingham Palace to watch the change of the guards. There were many people. At last we visited Madame Tussaud ´s where we saw many famous people. All are made of wax, but they look very real. Then it was time to say good bye to England. It had been an exciting, wonderful week, but we were also happy to get back to our “real” families!
