TREMENDOUS DAY OFF

FOURTEENTH DAY (18/08/2012)




It was our day off and Africa and I decided to go on an adventure!!

We got up early and went to the railway station after having breakfast. There we bought 2 tickets to Newmarket, the village of the Horseracing. We waited for our train and we took it. It was a short but nice trip of around 20 minutes, I love travelling by train. We arrived in Newmarket and we "studied" the map of the station.
We planned to go to Wicken Fen, so we decided to go first to the tourist information office of the town which was in the center so we could see the village. It is a very nice village with beautiful houses and full of horses stables. It´s surrounded by green countryside full of paths.
In the tourist information Office we learnt that the only way of going to WF was by bicycle ( only you can go by bus on Thursday). We asked about that afternoon race, but you can´t go to a race without an adult unless you are16, (OOOOH MY GOOOOOOOOD).

Well, we decided go to Ely and do a tour across the countryside. So we took a bus with our MEGARIDER and we went to Ely, it was a very nice trip and just at that moment I realised all the things I had to do in my life.
Time is running and I have to harness it the most I can, I have to travel, and earn money to go on trips with friends, alone and with whoever
I have to GINGER UP!!!

We arrived to Ely and we went on the way to the tourist  information office because we already knew the village.

We had lunch in a typical English house garden which was open to the public. Look, here I leave some pictures---->
Then we went to the tourist information office and we decided to walk a route to a lake crossing the meadows next to the river banks... It was wonderful, but a bit hot.
We rested ia lake---->


And then we went back walking through a tree tunnel full of vegetation...A really magical walk.
Then we rested under a willow until the bus returning time and we bought an ice-cream (Cubanito hihi).
In the bus trip it was soo hot and we both fell asleep...
. . .
I opened an eye and I read -NEWMARKET-Oh shit, Africa wake up, we have to go down from the bus!!(All around me was countryside so I thought we were going out of the city) Run Run Ruun!
We went down and we smiled-Oh we did it just in time, it´s great! h-ha...BUT... Africa said...oh oh
-What?-Alicia, I saw this supermarket in the map...-And?- And... it was in the other part of the city- Oh my god...Lets ask someone...
We got into the supermarket and we asked the cashier, an Old man told us that we had to take a taxi, or we wouldn´t be able to arrive there in 3/4 of hours.
O.O   Oh my, the train is leaving in half an hour...-We looked at each other and we thought "We can do it" "Leeeeeeeeeet´s gooooooooooooooooo!!" We ran across roads, streets, market, horses stables shops, neighborhoods...We were going to die and it was so so so hot. 
Running and running and running we arrived at the station and.. WE DID IT!(machines)

We took the train and we return to Cambridge, then we went walking home and after dinner we slept veeery well. (ufffff)
The End.
