Two last days here...

Firstly I have to say that this will be my last entry so goodbye to all my readers!!!
   Yesterday it was Thursday. As everyday we woke up early and we had breakfast. I think it was one of the few days we've been punctual!
  After that we went to the library and we almost finished the magazine but we wrote a new entry on the blog too.
   When it was half past two we met in the main door of the shopping centre and we started the treasure hunting. We had to go along all the city to do it! And it was hard because it was too hot! My team won so it was fine, ha ha ha!
 
  We had dinner at seven o'clock and we went to salsa lessons but once we were there we just saw old people dancing so we run away from the lessons!
  
  We got to home and went to bed.

Wednesday of relax.

 Hi guys!!! Yesterday was Wednesday and little by little we're getting closer to the end of this journey.
 We woke up a bit earlier than the days before because we had been punished so we had to be preparing breakfast ten minutes before.
  We took the bus to the library and there we wrote in our blogs, in our diaries and in the magazine. We spent about four hours there!
  After that we went to have lunch to Parker's Piece, one of the biggest parks in Cambridge. It was very hot under the sun so once we had finished eating we went to look for some colder place.

  We were told that we had about three hours of free time and at quarter to six we had to be at home to do our "private" reading club.
 
  After talking about our books I went to my bedroom to wait for the dinner to be ready. We had rice for dinner and later we tried to finish the video with the things we filmed around Cambridge.
  At eleven o'clock we went to our bedrooms.

Tuesday of ghosts

  Hello! On Tuesday we woke up early again. We had breakfast and we came to the library. Here we wrote a new entry on our blogs and later we tried to finish the magazine. After that we had to write some questions about the Olympic Games.
                               
We had lunch in the library and went to the city centre. Once there we had to ask our questions to anyone on the street. I asked to an English family that found that my questions were very funny.
  We had some free time and went back home. When we were there we had to learn by heart a ghost story about a college because after dinner we were going to do a ghost tour around Cambridge. I had to learn a story about Magdalene college.
       
 We painted our faces in black and white and went out. We were passing by all the colleges and one by one we were telling our story.
   At eleven o'clock we took the bus and we went to bed.

Monday free of library

   On Monday we didn't have to go to the library so we chose another activity to do and we decided to go bowling. It was funny but very expensive too, each one had to pay twelve pounds!But we had a great adventure before arriving to the bowling alley... We got lost!

   

  After eating in the guesthouse we had some free time to rest. Then at five o'clock we went to a park to play cricket. It was very tiring because in cricket you have to run a lot but we had a lot of fun anyway.
    
     We were exhausted because it was too hot so we went to the guesthouse, made dinner and did some scrapbooking. After that we went to sleep.

Last weekend here

     Hi everyone!!! On Friday we went to the library in the morning as most of the days and in the afternoon we had two very funny activities.
     The first one was punting. That was about treating to drive a typical boat in the river Cam. We had a lot of crashes with other punts and with the walls; and Mark, a Canadian guy who was driving the boat, was about to fall in the water twice; but it was very funny!
                   
  After punting we went running to a Taekwondo class. It was our first lesson and we were already kicking and ,of course, it was difficult but it was funny too!
                                              
  On Saturday we could wake up later than the days before. We went to the train station and took a train to Ely. It's a small and beautiful town which is famous because of its cathedral. When we got to the monument we didn't have to pay because there was a party inside so we could visit it for free and eat too!
                  
   On Sunday we had our free day. We woke up at eleven o'clock and we ate four biscuits and went to the city centre. There we went to the Grand Arcade, the shopping centre of Cambridge. When we were hungry we went to an Italian restaurant where I ate a pizza. After that we went to the King's college area to buy some souvenirs and went back home.

Thursday 19; speaking day.

  Yesterday after waking up early and having breakfast we went to the library. We are still trying to finish the magazine but it's going well.
   After these two hours and a half of work we wento to have lunch but as we didn't have a place to eat because of the rain we had to eat in a refuge point just before the bike parking.
   Later we went to a kind of speaking classes in Harris', a place near the Market square. There we met people like Max, from Canada; Chris or Joe. We were talking for a while and after that we started to play  a game called "Don't say it", it was very funny because you had to make the other people find out a word but you couldn't say that word and other words related to the first one.
                    

  We got to the guesthouse and we had the first session of our own reading club. We had to talk about the books we are reading and try to sum up what we had read, so i had to talk about "River boy".
                                                     
    We had for dinner jacket potatoes and fish. After eating we starated to make the video of the day we were filming in Cambridge and at quarter past eleven we went to sleep.

Wednesday 18;American cemetery and murder dinner.

On Wednesday we woke up at twenty to eight as everyday. After having breakfast we came to the library and we did things such as writing on our blogs and on our diaries; and continue with the magazine.
    After having the packed lunch inside the library we took the bus to the American cemetery. There a guide explained to us how many people were buried in the cemetery, a little less tan 4000 american soldiers. We could see a huge wall with the names of the soldiers of the WWII whose bodies were never found. Nowadays they identified a body so they put a mark beside his name on the wall to say that his body has been found. On that wall there was a name written in gold because he's got the medal of honor.
              

     When we finished we went to the guesthouse and prepared our character for the murder dinner. It was a game that was about finding out what character was the murderer so it was like a play. I had to play the role of a man in his earlies 70's who was addicted to marijuana. It was funny!
    After that we went to sleep.
