In the morning we started our interesting day with the visit to the Sherlock Holmes museum, where we found out more about the world-renowned detective’s character. Later we were immersed into the crafting of Dr Samuel Johnson’s English dictionary. In the evening we enjoyed the play Guys and Dolls. Its jolly atmosphere was a great finale to an adventurous day.

The day started at King’s Cross railway station, where some of us took a small detour to the Harry Potter store. From there, we travelled to Cambridge and began with an alumni-led tour of the colleges, learning about their history and traditions. After a hearty lunch, we enjoyed a punting tour along the River Cam, gaining a closer view of the colleges along the river, such as St. John’s and Trinity. (Lara, Julia, Anouk)

On Thursday, we started off the day by going to Westminster Abbey, where we listened to a student presentation before going on a self-guided audio tour. After that, we walked to Big Ben and had some free time. In the afternoon there were two student presentations in Soho and Chinatown, which we walked through while listening to their guided tour. At the end of the day, we headed to the Market Hall for the communal dinner, with lots of different food choices. (Marta B. Giulia)

On Friday morning, we went to the high-rise called Sky Garden, where we enjoyed the view of London. Then we went back to the hostel to collect our luggage before leaving to catch the train to get to Heathrow Airport. At the airport, we got through security early, and caught our flight, which was late. We got back to Basel in the evening and all went home to tell our families all about the trip.
