For the last few months I have spent every Saturday in my flat and have done nothing more exciting than work at home, read the newspapers and watch television . I had begun feeling bored with this and so, last weekend I thought I would do something different . I rang several of my friends and decided to go to London for the day . I was really excited I hadn’t been to London since I was ten . We decided to go by coach as this was by far the cheapest means of transport that was available even though it meant that we needed to get up very early . Once in London we decided to take a sightseeing tour as we wanted to see some of the famous buildings . After the tour we bought some sandwiches and ate them in a small park . In the afternoon two of us went shopping and the others went to the theaters . We met up again at 6.30p.m and went to a small restaurant in Soho. The meal was really good but , unfortunately, it took much longer than we had expected . We had to get a taxi back to coach station .Luckily , we got there just two minutes before our coach left .
