CAMILO SCHOOL TRIP TO LONDON

Many students from the 11th form went to London by the end of March with some teachers to visit the most important places there. Besides visiting Madame Tussaud's, the Museum of Natural History, the British Museum, The Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, etc, they also had the opportunity of strolling around London, travelling by bus, underground, cruise ( to Tower Bridge) and enjoying the most spectacular views from the London Eye.The chance of getting in touch with the language, the culture and habits of the Londoners was indeed cool and rewarding. The musical " We Will Rock You" was a "hit"in the visit.
