Before the departure in France to England I was very
excited at the idea of going to Great Britain, because it was my first
school trip. But I admit that I was a little bit anxious because my friends
and I didn’t know who our host family was, but we just knew that they were old
and we invented a lot of stereotypes. We arrived at Southport, a little town not
very far from Liverpool, after a long journey on the bus (and a on-hour
crossing on board of a ferry too): about 16 hours in order to travel from France to Great
Britain! It was so long... But we had always fun and we dealt with it as best we could. The driver, called Eric, stopped the bus in the
B&Q’s shop car park: it was the site’s appointment, where we met our
host family. My friends, Victor, Valentin, Hamza and me were the last pupils
waiting for their family. Finally, they arrived, smiling. Then we went to
their home, it was a little home, quite pretty! But the best thing I remember
of was the food: when I knew that we were going to England, I was very happy but I
believed that we were going to eat traditional food, and eat salty food
wouldn’t be possible for me because I hate that! But to my surprise, we ate
very well. And the best food we ate, during this trip, was a hamburger with
chips and a delicious dessert with raspberry! We were like kings! Concerning
the museums which we visited, the best museum for me was The Beatles’ Story,
because I like their songs (like: Yellow Submarine and Let It Be). But I
hated the Quarry Bank Mill museum, because it didn’t interest me and it was too
long. Finally, we enjoyed this trip of one week, we had fun and I expect to
return to this fabulous country, because there is so much to do and see!
