Saturday 15th May

It was the 1st day in Cambridge without school in the morning, a perfect condition for a nice day. I had signed up for the excursion to the Imperial War Museum in Duxford.

I got up at 8.45 and met my friends at 9.15 at the roundabout near our homes. We first rode to Tesco to buy some food for lunch and then we went to the train station, where we met Mr Bosshardt, who accompanied us to Duxford. We had to wait long because our bus was too late. While we were waiting, we blocked a man’s way and he didn’t catch his bus because of that. He was really angry later on. Finally our bus arrived and we arrived in Duxford after around a one-hour journey.
The enormous hangars, where all the planes and the other things of the museum were in, impressed us immediately. We got to the first hall whose name was AirSpace. I think that this was the best and most interesting hall. There were two giant rooms. In the first one, there were two very impressive planes. They were around forty metres wide and 10 metres high. In the second room, there were around thirty airplanes from different times and of different dimensions. Personally, the British Concorde impressed me the most. Then we went on and had a look at the different hangars with other planes, ships and tanks. We had agreed to meet at five o’clock, but at two p.m. we were sick to death of all the freaks and cadets who were walking around and we took the bus back home.

In the evening we agreed to meet to go to a park near by, talk a bit and play football with bottles. It was a nice evening and we went home at around 11 o’clock.
Altogether it was a nice day and we had a lot of fun.
