The Eurostar from Paris to England was surprisingly fast, taking just three hours. We took the London Underground to our hostel quite close to Hyde Park and sorted out our rooms. I am in a room with eleven other boys, the bunks are three beds high and its pretty cramped in there. That afternoon we did a bit of a walk around the centre of London, we visited Big Ben, the Parliament House. We went to Westminster for an evensong. The choir was very good and peaceful and it was only boys singing. To get back to our hostel we strolled through Hyde Park along the Thames. The Sun was just setting . We saw heaps of squirrels and the statue of Peter Pan. As it was Eddie Scoular's Birthday the whole group went out to an all-you-can-eat pizza buffet.
