Transport and Travel Scene 2

Do you know how many different types of transport we have been on today?

Well, we arrived on a plane, and then took a train, then a taxi – and now we’re on a boat on the River Thames!

Wow - amazing. I didn’t realise people in London travelled around on boats.

Well, there’s a lot less traffic on the river and it’s a great way to see the sights.

Ah - there’s Ashlie.

Hi guys. Ah, I’m glad to have these back.

Well, here we are!

Brilliant. Are we going to the London Eye?

We are and I’ve got our tickets!

Oh, what a great surprise, Stephen. I’ve always wanted to go on the London Eye!

And the view of London from up there is amazing.

Oh, and the weather’s so good, we’ll be able to see loads.

Oh, I can’t wait.

There you go mate, the Houses of Parliament. There’s Big Ben. Over there is St Paul’s Cathedral.

What a view.

Wow this is amazing. The City looks great from up here.

That’s a strange building. What is that?

Oh, that’s what we call the Gherkin – is one of London’s famous office blocks.

Cool. This is fantastic.

And there’s one thing we haven’t done today? Here’s something to remind you of your trip to London.

Oh, the London Underground. We haven’t been on the London Underground today. Thank you so much, Stephen. I’m never going to forget this day!

Let’s get some food, you guys must be hungry. What do you want to do? Shall we get a takeaway or eat in?

Sorry? A take-away or eat in? What do you mean?

Eat in, when we eat in the restaurant or take-away, when we take the food home with us.

OK. Let’s get take-away, shall we?

So what do you fancy then, Pizza?

Pizza’s good.

Yes, pizza sounds good. And I know a great place right near the flat.

Oh no! You guys are never going to believe this… I’ve left my purse on the London eye!
