Weekend, 4-5 December, parents in Great-Britain

This was a great weekend. My parents picked us up from Reed's and we headed to the same hotel as we stayed before. On Saturday morning we had a big English breakfast, which was very tasty, and we drove to Oxshott station. Here we took the train to London Waterloo. When we arrived in London we walked around a bit. Our first stop was the London Eye. My dad wanted to go on the ferris wheel, but there was a large crowd waiting to get tickets and one as well to get into the attraction. So on a democratic basis we outvoted him and decided to move on. On recommendation of Steve and Jelmer we went to 'Ripley's believe it or not'. This is a museum where they show all kinds of fascinating and strange items and customs. After the museum we walked around a bit and had some late lunch. After lunch (it was getting quite dark already) Jelmer and I wanted to go ice-skating at the Tower. When we arrived (we took the Underground) we found out that it was very busy and that we were only able to go onto the ice from 8:30 onwards. We were quite sad and stayed for about 10 minutes looking at other people ice-skating. Than we decided it was time to go back to the hotel. We took the journey, which was quite long, back and finally arrived at the hotel. We had some dinner and went to our rooms. On Sunday we went to Sainsbury's again for some shopping. My parents and brother bought some food and other things (including Christmas crackers) and I bought Jelmer's Saint Nickolas (Sinterklaas) present. We were to celebrate Saint Nickolas on Tuesday. When I was dropped off at family Roy's house and when my parents left I felt very satisfied of the weekend.
