I was very excited waking up on 1st April because I knew: that day was the day. The day when my dream came true. My wish was to have the opportunity to watch a Manchester United derby and to visit London. Csodalámpa Foundation has provided it; we went to London to watch the West Ham United – Manchester United game in April.

After the early departure from Budapest we arrived to London at 8 o’clock in the morning and almost immediately went to our first programme for a stadium tour in the famous Wembley Stadium. Fortunately we were finally able to visit one of the world’s greatest stadiums. In the afternoon we got onto the London’s Eye to look at the amazing view over this beautiful city which we got to know closer in the next few days.

On the second day of our trip my biggest wish came true: we were going to the West Ham United - Manchester United derby which took place in the stadium of West Ham called Upton Park. I was a little desperate at half time because my favourite club was 2-0 down but Man Utd turned the match in their favour in the second half and got the right result, 4-2 thanks to Rooney’s outstanding performance and to his great hat-trick.

In the next two days we visited London’s most famous and most beautiful places; the Tower of London, Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey, Hyde Park etc. Apart from going to the basic sights and places we took long walks in the heart of the city as well. On the very last day we even had the chance to take several photographs with lots of famous people in Madame Tussaud’s (obviously only with their wax figures unfortunately).

During our trip in London we made ourselves good experts of national cuisines in London. Although the British national cuisine doesn’t excel we found the Indian and other national cuisines very delicious. We got home really tired but full of great experiences.

I am really thankful for getting the chance to experience this unforgettable trip and want to thank Csodalámpa Foundation for making my dream come true.

I would like to especially thank Gábor from Csodalámpa for smoothly coordinating this trip owing to his excellent language and organizing skills.
