On Wednesday, we started our day as always with the morning English lessons, although not all of us are very keen on having an English lesson at nine o'clock. Despite this, we managed to sail through them. We finished at 12’30 and we went straight to take the bus to Hatton. This was a new trip for this year, so event the "veterans" didn't know how this would be like.
It was a cloudy day, but luckily it didn't rain at this time. What we saw in Hatton is called "The Stairway To Heaven". There are 21 locks that allow boats to go up and down through the flyovers.. It was amazing to see how a person had to walk to one of the doors and open a gate so the water can flow filling or emptying the lock, depending on the direction of the boat - up or down, and then opening another gate, so the boat can move forward. 
It was incredible, and some of us took part in that, helping a couple that was travelling around England for 6 months! After that, we went to a pub to have a little snack because we were really hungry. Then, we took the bus back to Leamington and went to Newbold Terrace, where some of our families were waiting for us; some of us had to get home by bus. We spent the evening with the families.MC
