LONDON - Wednesday, February 8th

After having breakfast in Duns, we took a train to London. When we arrived we went directly to the Hotel. In the evening we had dinner and then left for the theatre. There were many options of plays to see, so we divided into four groups. Each group attended one of these plays: "Billy Elliot", "Mamma Mia", "We Will Rock You" and "Phantom of the Opera".

Early in the morning we took a transfer to Duns. Once we arrived, we walked around the place, visted the Castle and, after lunch, we learned some Scottish dances.
