Car:
We chose to drive car around in the UK. We though this was the easiest way to came around whenever we wanted to. Therefore we rang to a place where we could rent a car before we went off the Cardiff. We said that we wanted a Audi Q7 with automatically provides. That was quite OK. We chose this car because we think its a nice car with a lot of space.
Cardiff:
a.m. after a four hours long flight. The weather was better than expected, the sunshine and it
was not a cloud on the sky. It was a perfect day to visit one of
Wales`s most important and beautiful parks, Roath Park. When we planned the
trip at home, we read a lot about it, and it seemed like a place we had to
visit. The park opened in 1894, and has a wild range of habitats and animals.
One part of the park was used as sports fields where you could play baseball,
rugby and tennis. When we walked along the lake, birds where twittering and
oranges leaves were falling from the threes. It was so beautiful and relaxing being
there in the autumn.
After some hours in Roath Park, we drove 15
minutes back to the hotel where we ate some food and went to bed.
Next morning we only managed to eat breakfast
before we got in the car, and drove towards Stonehenge.

The plain finally arrived Cardiff Airport at 10

Stonehenge:
On our second day
of the tour, we drove from Cardiff to Stonehenge. There we had a stop to see
the famous attraction Stonehenge. The weather wasn’t at our side but we had a
great time visiting this famous monument. Stonehenge is a historical monument
about 13 km. North West from Salisbury in
Wiltshire. This monument was truly build 2000 years before Christ. The monument
is one of the world’s most famous buildings. The name come from the old English word Stanhengist that means the hanging
stones.
Here is a picture
of us in the front of Stonehenge.
London:
We planned to spend two days in London, one only for shopping
in oxford street, and one day to look at the attractions. When we finally arrived
London the second day of our trip, it was late afternoon. It was difficult to
find the hotel, we used more than 15 minutes searching for it. The hotel room
was exclusive with a big bathroom and two big beds. This afternoon we only had
time for dinner, and we decided to watch the musical "Grease".
We woke up early next day. None of us had ever been to London
before. It was so exiting to walk down the streets. We chose to visit some of
London`s most famous attractions by ourselves, not with a guide. First we
walked all the way from our hotel to Madame Tussaud, which is a museum full of
dolls made of wax. The dolls are famous people from all over the world, and the
museum are divided into different parts such as: sport, film, royals, music,
world leaders, super heroes and so on. We liked the part with the team music
best. That was because the place was where we knew most of the people.
Couples of hours later we walk from Madame Tussaud to the
next attraction, which was the Buckingham Palace. The Buckingham Palace was originally
built in 1705 for the Duke of Buckingham, but today the palace is used as
ceremonial and official occasions for the Royal Family. We only saw the
ceremony called Guard Mounting in front of the palace. The ceremony involve a
new guard exchanging duty with the old guard. It was fun watching how fast they
did it.
Red double decker buses and cabs drove past us down the
street all the time, so we thought that when we finally were in London we had
to take a trip with the double decker bus to see the London Eye and the Big Ben.
The rest of the evening, we spent on the hotel room and we
went to bed early.
Day number 4. was used to shopping in oxford street. Shops
like Victoria Secret, Primark and Zara were shops that we didn’t have in Norway
so we had to visit them. That day we used A LOT of money.

Liverpool:
The fifth day we drove from London to
Liverpool. We started to drive from London at 11 a.m. We drove for two and a
half hour to Birmingham where we stopped to eat. Here we ate some fish and
chips. When we was finish, we sat into the car and started to drive in the
direction Liverpool. When we arrived Liverpool after 2 hours we checked
in at the hotel "The Nadler Liverpool". We spend the night looking
around in the town and eat. When we woke up the next day we went down to eat
some breakfast before we went out shopping. When it went afternoon we went back
to the hotel to do ready for the football match and conducted tour at Anfield.
Liverpool was going to play against Swansea.
The football match
was amazing, Liverpool won 4-3, and the conducted tour was so cool. After a
long night with football, we went back to the hotel to get some sleep before we
were going to fly back to Norway the next morning. Day 6 started early at 6
a.m. We stand up and eat some breakfast before we drove to the airport and
delivered the car and took the plain home.
