I also like travelling to different cities. Sometimes I go to other countries too. I travel by sea, by train or by plane. I like voyages very much and often take pictures on board the ship.   I would like to tell you some words about my last trip to London. I visited Madam Tussaud's Museum.

Madam Tussaud's is the world's most famous wax museum. In the days before television, cinema and radio, Madam Tussaud's figures were a sensation.   Over two million visitors go there to see the 500 lifelike figures of the famous people. You can see Henry VIII and his six wives, the Battle of Trafalgar, and the Chamber of Horrors.

Today one will find models of well known sports personalities, musicians and film stars, statesmen from around the world, and even the Royal Family.   One can have fun in the new Superstars and Legends section by searching for his personal hero or heroine, or find his favourite film star and tell them he is their greatest fan.

So, I like the excursion to the museum very much. Have you ever travelled to other countries? Have you ever visited any interesting museums? If so, write me soon.   Lots of love,                            Ann
