Thomas Goval's London Gallery

Thomas Goval was a great photographer in London on our trip there. He collected hundreds of photos of all the sites. Here is a selection of images from our autumn trip to London with ASECNA, Thomas, Shin, Zoe and James - and the 'driver', too! On the journey, I read out the coach rules, including: "There must be no hot food or drink on the coach." I THOUGHT this was the rule - at least it used to be. My mistake. Anyway, one student thought therefore that cold drinks were okay. As we pulled out of a service station on the way to London, he opened his 2 litre bottle of soda pop, only to have it spray all over Zoe and the driver. The driver was initially really angry, but he later calmed down, and said that we had been a really good group of passengers. What a relief!

Thomas introduced us to a brand new statue of NELSON MANDELA. Everybody in the ASECNA group were very excited to see the statue and everyone spent about one hour taking photographs of themselves standing beside the statue.

Cisse, standing like a true queen, in front of Buckingham Palace.
After 6 hours of non-stop walking, everyone was REALLY tired. But we truly had a good time and everyone said they were really happy to have visited London.
