Fifth day

On the fifth day we felt like one English citizen. We used to eat English food such as Roast Beef or Fish and Chips and we were now used to  eating early and going to bed early too. We also understood  our families better when they were talking and were happy to realize we were improving our English. 


This day we visited the Natural History Museum. One of the best things that London offers to its tourists are the museums. Museums are really big and interesting and they are also free.
In this museum you can find enormous collection of artifacts and specimen. The Natural History Museum is divided into different color-coded zones, each focusing on a specific aspect of life on earth. 

Also a favorite with visitors is a hall dedicated to large mammals, including an enormous model of a blue whale and elephants.
The collection of dinosaur skeletons is one of the museum's biggest attractions. There are several life-sized models in the Dinosaur hall and we could see a huge skeleton of a Diplodocus in the central hall. In the Dinosaurs Gallery we were shocked to see many dinosaur bones and mobile recreations of a T-rex.






We enjoyed ourselves a lot but we were a little bit tired because we were having a really busy week. During the day we hadn’t time to relax so in the afternoon we had to go to Greenwich. We had to go with a special train and the journey was a little bit long.
Greenwich is a charming and historic area of London that is best known for lending its name to the time by which the world sets its clocks. In the park is the former Royal Observatory, through which the Prime Meridian passes. The goal of the observatory was to help navigation of the ships by studying the stars, creating maps, and determine the longitude when at sea.


The fifth day had finished. Our dinner was waiting for us…
