My recent trip to England was awesome as I had so much fun on it. Let me tell you all about it, so get ready to take a journey with me to London and beyond!

As I came out from the Heathrow Airport, the first thing I noticed was that the weather was spectacular. So we wasted no time and started with sightseeing that very day. We explored a bit of Buckinghamshire (Iver village) and enjoyed the beautiful scenery it offered. The later part of the day was spent relaxing and meeting a few friends.

The next day we started with a visit to our favourite places in London. We went to Smiggle, Smyths and Hamleys stores and King Cross Station. At the station was a Harry Porter merchandise shop and since I am a huge fan of Harry Potter, I really enjoyed browsing through the things inside it.

We then went to Madame Tussauds, where we saw the wax statues of Queen Elizabeth, Prince Harry, Princess Diana, Vincent van Gogh, prime ministers of different countries and other famous people from all over the world. I got scared at the immersive Alien: Escape experience, although that section of the museum was very interesting.

To really see London, one has to go on the London Eye and get a panoramic view of the beautiful city. From the top, it was breathtaking to see boats passing below us on the river and the greenery surrounding us.

We then went to Covent Garden and saw people playing music and a magic show was also taking place. It was such a perfect summer’s day to be out exploring the city. After having Godira ice cream, which is my brother’s favourite, we had dinner at the Pullman Hotel, next to Saint Pancras. And throughout our stay in England, I drank something from Starbucks almost every day.

Over the next few days, we visited several theme parks and Legoland, where we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We took many rides there and also went to its different sections, such as Lego Miniland and Legoland Water Park.

After having explored London, we travelled to Oxford, then Bath and then Liverpool, from where we took an eight-hour cruise to Belfast. Our room on the cruise was very comfortable. We arrived at Belfast early in the morning and so could start exploring the city soon after breakfast.

We decided to see the city in an interesting way by taking a double decker bus tour. The next day we went to the Belfast Zoo, where we found lots of cute and scary animals. I got very scared of the gorillas as they made very loud and angry noises. I loved watching the sea lions swimming.

We took a cruise back to London and the remaining two days of our trip were spent in further exploration of the city. I visited King Cross Station one more time to go to the Harry Potter shop at platform 9/¾!

Our trip to England was a memorable and ridiculously exciting trip.
