My Trip to London

On Sunday 14th August when we arrived in London we travelled on the Underground to see the London Eye.

Then we went to The Tower Bridge and went inside to the walkways and there was a glass floor to walk across and stand on and look down below to the river Thames.

After that we went to Borough Market and bought some doughnuts, which are said to be the NICEST IN THE WORLD. They were the best I ever had.

Afterwards we went to Monument which is a memorial to the Great Fire of London and has 311 spiral steps which was really difficult to climb up. There were loads of great views from the viewing platform.

The Hinds Head

The day before we went to LegoLand we went to The Hinds Head in Bray, which is one of Heston Bluementhal’s restaurants.

I ordered an Apple juice to drink, whilst we looked at the menu.

For starters I had a Scotch Egg, when I cut inside, the yolk was really nice and runny.

When we got the bill they brought us dark chocolate orange and caraway seed truffle.

When we were waiting to leave we were talking to the man behind the bar, who gave us some of Heston’s special chocolates which looked like stones- I thought he was tricking us and making us eat stones but they were really nice chocolates!

I really enjoyed going to The Hinds Head and would love to go again.

It’s the best restaurant I’ve ever been to!

My Amazing Laser Quest Adventure

In the holidays we went to Laser Quest at the Trafford Centre and we had to pick a name, I chose Darth Vader. We had Laser Guns and we wore packs which looked like vests they had targets on them. We got 10 points for zapping ⚡️ someone, if someone shot you, you would lose points.

We were split into two teams. We were on the red team and had to shoot the blue team. There were ramps and hiding places everywhere. The red team (us) won with 8576 points. The game was half an hour long and we had to walk round in the dark shooting the blues whilst trying not to get shot ourselves.

After that I did some rock climbing, the wall kept moving and slanting so it was like climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, it was hard to keep up but I climbed 2.9 metres high.

Then we played Laser Quest again and I was on the red team again. We had to shoot a target before we could zap someone. Red won again with 9978 points.

I would love to go again, it was so much fun.

First I had chocolate porridge, which had chocolate buttons in it.
