Vacation

In this post I'll talk about the film 'Vacation'. Vacation is a 2015 American comedy film produced by David Dobkin and Chris Bender and written and directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley.

It's a comedy film and you'll have a good time whatching it. Its main objective is to entertain and it satisfies you.
The cast is the next one:





Ed HelmsEd Helms was born January 24, 1974.He is an American actor and comedian, he has worked as acorrespondent on The Daily Show, Andy Bernard in the U.S. version of The Office, Stuart Price in The Hangover trilogy, also Resacon en Las Vegas and most recently his starring role as Rusty Griswold in Vacation as i'm going to talk. In my opinion he is a very great actor because he has a lot of talent.

Vacation is a sequel of 'National Lampoon's Vacation'. Griswold family has a lo of internal problems, so Rusty, the father decides to travel in an albanian rental car. The aim of the vacation is to reach Walley World, where he had been on his childhood. In this travel, they are going to find a lot of problems, making this film more interesting and funnier. I'm not going to mention those problems because I don't want to spoile you.

The fact that I most liked was that I enjoyed a lot whatching and hearing their jokes. It is a very funny film, the typical american family that makes a travel by car or van. The youngest son was so funny. He makes the film funnier. The oldest son was also so funny. He was controled by the young one!
On the other hand, many fact disliked me. I think that the part that they meet Rusty's sister's family isn't funny. I find it boring but maybe someone likes it, it's my opinion.
I rate this film wit 8,5/10

London

In this article I'm going to show you how much I like London. As we all know London is the capital of England. It is located in the south of England. I like this city because of so many facts. It's a very nice city formed by many important monuments that we all know.

You can visit many of them but the one that I most like is the London eye. It is a giant Ferris wheel located on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. I recommend you to hop on the attraction. It has a big disadvantage, you have to wait so much time. I've been waiting there half an hour! But when I was in the queue many clowns and mimes were there to entertain us. That's a really nice idea!

This is the queue that I've been talking about







This is the Big Ben bell
When we hear "Big Ben's" name we all think about a clock-tower located in London but that's not the real meaning of the Big Ben. The Big Ben is the name of the big bell located inside the tower. Until 2012 we used to know it as the "Clock Tower", whereas nowadays we know it as the "Elizabeth Tower".

I've been in London twice and it seemed smaller than I thought. I have concluded that every time that I travel to London the tower is getting smaller so maybe after 20 years is going to be smaller than a
hut! The size doesn't matter because the beauty of the tower causes love at first sight with this cute tower.







Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, as well called Elizabeth II, is the queen of the United Kingdom. She is adored by the English citizens. She was born in 21 April 1926. She lives in the Buckingham Palace,this palace is the London residence and principal workplace of the monarchy of the United Kingdom. The palace has more uses, like it has been the stage of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton. The property has been under the control of the monarchy since 1761, when it was just known as Buckingham House. Since then, it has been expanded many times. The first monarch to make Buckingham Palace her home was Queen Victoria. This huge palace that makes you feel tiny has so enormous courtyards and royal gardens.

I recommend you to take a a tea at five. When I'd been in  London I drank a tea and I tried some cookies and biscuits. It's a very relaxing place with so wonderful views. In my opinion the food is quite expensive but the place that you taste it reasons this price.







The last interesting point that I'm going to talk about is the north bank of the Thames. Here you can find so many monuments, restaurants, interesting points... In my opinion the most important monument of this place is the Tower of London. As well known as Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, is a historic castle located on the north bank of the River Thames in central London.The Tower of London has played a prominent role in English history.It has been important to controlling the country. The Tower has served variously as an armory, a treasury, a menagerie, the home of the Royal Mint, a public records office, and the home of the Crown Jewels of England.
When I'd been in this castle I was surprised because many wild bird were living there. The ravens of the Tower of London are a group of captive common ravens which live in the Tower of London. The presence of the ravens is traditionally believed to protect the Crown and the Tower; a superstition holds that "If the Tower of London ravens are lost or fly away, the Crown will fall and Britain with it." They are so enormous I've never seen any raven that looks so big!
I suggest you to taste some fish and chips in front of the Tower of London. It's a very typical food from England and you can't return from London without trying this special food.








On front of the castle you would find the Tower Bridge a very iconic monument of London. It is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London. The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London. You can pay for crossing it from the up part. From this gangway you would have so nice views of London. The Tower Bridge is blue because is the favorite color of the Queen.

London is a very nice and wonderful city that I recommend you to visit. You can spend 7 days visiting London and yet you've only seen a small part of it. It's incredible the beauty of this city. If you do not like the hassle of the city you can relax in beautiful and large park. You have many choices to spend your free time. London is a city with a lot of leisure centers. I hope you have enjoyed reading my article and see you next time!
