Arely and Frank: Capitano students journey at the London Field Trip

Song of the day: Charlton’s Athletics anthem



           

Students journey at the London Field Trip 2016 was coming to an end on February 13th, 2016 . Frank and I decided to play the Charlton’s Athletics anthem song to get everyone familiar for the game we were going to go later in the afternoon. The rainy and windy weather in London that day was not going to stop us from enjoying our last hours together as a team in London.

The first stop was to the “Hampton Court Palace” a huge palace full of history from the magnificence of Henry VIII's favourite royal residence, It took us more than an hour to get there but it was all worth it as everyone was so looking forward to have our last lunch together, the famous “Fish and chips” at a little Local restaurant close to the Hampton station where we all waited to get our fresh and delicious meal that we had to take to the train as we were running out of time to get to our next destination. Everyone running with their boxes full of food that we couldn't wait to eat, we finally made it on time to catch our train towards Charlton where we were going to cheer for the Charlton vs Cardiff football game, not american football as you might be thinking but what we call in Canada “soccer”, in London they call it “football”, we had a great time at the game as it was contagious hearing people cheering for Charlton and all the passionate row of 10 year old kids we had in the back row yelling “ if you are Charlon stand up with us, if you are Charlon stand up with us”.

            Finally, we were on our way back to the hotel to be able to fresh in up before having our last dinner together at the “Davy’s Wine Vault”, were we all played an activity our instructor Robin started, so every time after a course meal we would have to change seats and interact with different members of the group for the last time, and share our experiences. As the night went on Robin and Christine surprised us with some funny but pretty accurate awards that everyone received, we had titles such as “Lieutenant of the forgetful” that went to Hillary who surprisingly kept losing her “Oyster card” (like our Compass card) but it was always in some hidden place inside her bag . But wait a minute, we also had an award thank you card for Robin where we all expressed our thoughts and thankfulness towards him. This was the end and everyone felt so happy but at the same time sad that this amazing experience where we made new friends, faced challenges and acquired knowledge came to and end.
