Our trip in BATH: Last day

What a shame!!! Today is our last day in England. It’s Friday the eighth of February and we had to wake up really early (around quarter past six) because we had to pack our suitcases. After a difficult awakening, we had our breakfast and went in the car, we were going to leave Melksham and its “particular” food. Unfortunately, when we went in the coach, the weather started to get bad…

We drove around two hours and we finally arrived in Winchester. The weather was so bad that we called Winchester “the Ireland simulator”! We met our guides and visited the huge and magnificent Winchester Cathedral. We learnt the incredible story of the cathedral. Did you know that the cathedral was invaded by water, so a man put some bags of cement under the cathedral and saved Winchester? So, he was buried near his helmet to thank him. We visited some “secret” places and one of the guides told us we visited these places because we are special! We of course had the chance to see Jane Austen’s grave.

Because the weather was horrible, we ate in a room our undelicious cucumber and egg sandwiches, yes! Finally the guide took us to the house where Jane Austen spent her last days and died in 1817, she even moved to Winchester just in order to get better. 

 

It’s already the end of the visits, now we had to go back home to eat better food! We drove hours and hours but we arrived to the shuttle too early so we went shopping and one hour later we went back in the shuttle. We were in the coach in a train under the Channel. Worst place in the world for claustrophobics.

But the travel was short and we arrived around one hour later. We drove again and stopped to a gaz station, the same where we had allready stopped the first day, I don’t remember the exact hour but I think it was quite late. The people who worked here let us eat inside because it was very cold even if normally we aren’t allowed to eat inside. We then drove for a long long long time and arrived in front of the school at half eleven PM. Our parents were already here wating for us so we just joined them and that’s the end of our trip to England!
