It is a universal drink, the drink is adapted to the hot country as with the cold country. 

The tea holds a very important place in the daily life of the British who drink some at any hour. 

In the popular language: “Nice cup has tea !” gold has “has nice cuppa !”

Promise delivered: CHESTER with my girlfriend

Hi !

Five days ago, my girlfriend came to see me and we visited Chester. I know this city because we made some parties already with Leo, Benjamin and Juliette. But this day was for my girlfriend and we visited all monuments in this city! :)

We took the train from Wrexham at 10:00 AM to Chester. The train station of Chester is so pretty!

We saw the Queen Vicoria clock.in the principal avenue. We walked a lot and discovered the Chester Cathedral which is big and awesome with a lot of stained glass Windows.

The lenght of the Antique roman city Walls which protected the city is around three Kilometres. The Roman Amphitheatre, the rows, the river Dee, and Roman Gardens are so beautiful. I like Chester because it's not a big city but i'm feeling well in this city. :)

We made a lot of shop and bought a lot of things!

Thank you for your attention and see you later!

MANCHESTER

Hi everybody!

I'm just arriving at home, i was in Manchester with my girlfriend during two days! She came to see me during one week. We went to Chester too but it will be in the next article :).

Manchester is the greatest city that i have never seen in England. To begin, we had some informations by the tourism office. The first day, we visited the Museum of Science and Industry. This last was amazing because we saw the first computer wich was created, the first plane and vapor train.

Moreover we saw the people's history Museum, the john Ryland's Library (with a lot of old books) and the Royal exchangeTheatre. There is maybe three full floors of books!

It was very cool because we walked a lot and we saw a lot of hotels, restaurants and gardens. We slept at the Britannia hotel with a lot of beautiful décorations.

The second day, we went to the Manchester Museum with a lot of crazy themes like prehistory, Egypt, skeleton of animals, insects and precious stone. Then,  we visited the Manchester Cathedral, Chetham's School of Music and Chetham's Library, and the National football Museum.

The last picture is the mummy of Toutankhamon, my girlfriend told me that it's my brother but i don't believe that! ahah.

Thank you for your attention and see you later !

Barmouth :-)

Barmouth is a seaside resort at the south of Snowdonia Park in Wales. I was there with Romain, Benjamin and Valentin.

We went three days in Barmouth. We would like to find a place which is very different of Wrexham. We had visited lots of city but Barmouth is not a city and the nature is very impressive. 

We was in a lodge which is very good with a one room and a space to cook something. There is too a relax space. 

This lodge is in the mountain and we should walk 40 min to go but as the landscape is very great and the sun was here, it was not a problem for us.

The first day we visited the city center of Barmouth. There are a lot of restaurants, shop and attractions for the kids and there is the beach, the sea and the sun. This day there was not lots of wind so it was very pleasant.

The second day we made a walking which was not easy. We wolked 20 km during the day.

The last day we went in Fairebourne. It is a city which is in other side that the Barmouth bay. We took a bridge to go and to come back, we took a little train and a boat because the walking was very difficult and the weither was bad. Fairbourne is not a beautiful city that's why we stayed not a long time and we came back quickly in Barmouth.

It was a very fun trip !! 

See you soon

Next of London !!

The natural history museum !

Next we went in the natural history museum. It was my favorite part even if there was 45 min to enter in the museum. The natural museum collect the human, animals, natural exhibitions. The enter of the museum is very beautiful, it's like if we go back in the center of the earth. 

This museum show the history of our solar system. It is very full and clear. 

My favorite exhibition is minerals exhib. It is so beautiful, we can see the different minerals and how they are formed. We can see too who had this collection and how they found its. 

The nature is exceptional, and the human is so ridiculous near the earth. 

I think that the dinosaurs exhib is the favorite exhib of  Léo. 

This second day was very interesting and fun. We discovered lots of thinks.

See you soon for the next of our journey.
