A Luxury Tour Guide

(It is an essay for class. It is not based in reality).



A LUXURY TOUR GUIDE


It was a Trip I'll never forget. Two years ago, in my first year of 'Bachillerato', my English teacher, who was really inspiring for me, organized a trip to London. I couldn't believe it: a trip to my favourite city ever in the world in which I hadn't been never before! It was such a marvellous opportunity to turn my dream in reality. I joined it with no doubts.

I had a lot of anecdotes about the trip, but one, the most awesome, happened to me in Madame Tussaud's Museum, where there were wax statues of a lot of famous people. I nearly got crazy when I saw the quantity and quality of the wax figures, they were extremely real and there were a lot of actors, singers and famous people which I look up so much. Suddenly, I found the wax figure of Orlando Bloom, my favourite actor ever by then. I started to take a lot of photos with it, really excited, when a guy started to laugh at me. I stared at him in a really furious way. “What a rude guy!” I thought. Then, he offered himself to take a photo of me with the figure. After that, we entablished a conversation. He was English, from London, and he had been more than ten times in that museum, but he still went on going there because he loved it. He was very friendly. Something called my attention about him: he was wearing dark sunglasses and a wool cap, I could not see his face. I didn't give it importance until we finished the visit to the museum and he asked me to go out with him. I had finished all the duties of that day and I had free time until the next day so, I accepted. He took me into the city centre, and as my tourist guide, showed me Piccadilly Circus and a lot of amazing things. I was really amazed and he laughed at my face excited. Finally he got me to my hotel's door. “Well, I don't your name yet. Mine is Juani.” He smiled openly while he was taking off his sunglasses and his wool cap... “I can't believe it!” I cried almost fainted. It was him! He was Orlando Bloom himself. I was speechless. He laughed at me and kissed my cheek. “Nice to meet you Juani, I have spent a really marvellous time with you. See you soon!” I went to my bedroom actually socked, but when I told my friends where I had been, they didn't believe me.


I don't mind at all because it was the best day of my life. I hope someday I will meet him again and we walk around London again.

  5. Hahaha I believed it all until I read Eric’s comment ^. I was literally thinking to myself “this is the luckiest girl ever!” I did think it was a little strange that you went on a date with a guy whose first name you didn’t even know but I didn’t think much else of it. You got me can’t wait to read more of your creative writing :)
