Seventh day


Our seventh day in London was one of the best ones for us. This day we visited Camden market, Sherlock Holmes’ museum and Madame Tussauds.
We woke up a little bit sad because we knew that we were only going to stay in London one more day…but the teachers cheered us up by starting with a shopping day!
First we went to Camden market, it is a market that is formed by a number of adjoining large retail markets in Camden Town. It is the fourth-most popular visitor attraction in London, attracting approximately 100,000 people each weekend.



The markets originally operated on Sundays only, which continues to be the main trading day. Opening later extended to Saturdays for most of the market. A number of traders, mainly those in fixed premises, operate throughout the week, although the weekend remains the peak period.
We enjoyed ourselves a lot in Camden because we could buy a lot of clothes, food, accessories…at a very good price so we bought a lot. We also had lunch there and then; we took the underground to go to the Sherlock Holmes’ museum.

Sherlock Holmes museum is a bit small but there are a lot of things and it’s really curious because there are lots of objects used by detectives.
Near the Sherlock Holmes museum there is the Madame Tussauds. Madame Tussauds is a wax museum in London with branches in a number of major cities. It was founded by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud and was formerly known as "Madame Tussaud's". Tussauds is a major tourist attraction in London, displaying waxworks of historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars and infamous murderers.
We were so excited because we knew that this museum is very important, funny and that our idols were there in wax sculptures.


This day we arrived at our ‘new house’ a bit late and tired because that week in London was being very busy and full of activities and excitement. We slept very well but really sad because we didn’t want to come back to Badalona.
