Sixth day

Like every morning we started the day going to Acton Town and then visiting a museum, that day: The Science Museum! The museum is a major London tourist attraction, attracting 2.7 million visitors annually.
The Science Museum is made up of a number of galleries, some of which are permanent, and some of which are temporary. Power: The East Hall, Exploring Space, Making the Modern World, Fligh, Launchpad…In general we loved  the Exploring Space, because it has rockets, satellits and different NASA's objects.
When we finished visiting it, we went to Harrods: Harrods is London's most famous department store. This luxury store is on many tourists' itineraries, who come to admire the magnificent interior and enormous selection. They often leave the store with a signature green bag; foreign visitors account for a significant part of the store's sales. The Queen of England often buys her clothes there but in our opinion, it was so so big and beautiful, full of luxury but so terribly EXPENSIVE… so we only stayed for a little time and then some of us went to Wembley and some others to Notting hill.

New Wembley, is a football stadium located in Wembley Park, in the Borough of Brent, in London. It opened in 2007 and was built on the site of the previous 1923 Wembley Stadium. The earlier Wembley stadium, originally called the Empire Stadium, was often referred to as “The Twin Towers” and was one of the world's most famous football stadiums until its demolition in 2003. London's Wembley Stadium hosts England's home matches, live music concerts and other sporting events.
The first match at the stadium was a game played behind closed doors between Multiplex and Wembley Stadium staff.
Our impression of the stadium was good and nice because we think that it's enormous and beautiful, the guide told us that it's the place with more bathrooms in the world. We also saw one changing room where we could see the T-shirts of some Barça's players!

Some of us went to Notting Hill, a cosmopolitan district known as the location for the annual Notting Hill Carnival, and for being home to the Portobello Road Market. Now it has a contemporary reputation as an affluent and fashionable area. A very famous film called Notting Hill was filmed there. In this film appear Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant.


We think that it’s a nice district of London because the coloured houses are really original. We were very happy for being able to take a photo next to the famous blue door that appears in the film.
