Subject: 2007. Londoni élmények

Dear Wonderlamp, Évi & Gábor,

First of all, thank you very much for fulfilling the wish, the dream of our sick child.

Csabika's wish was to see the sights of London - Big-Ben, London Eye, the Thames, Tthe Museum of Sciences and the dinos within. In addition, he also wanted to see the cockpit of a Malev airplane...

We can say that his wish has been fulfilled and will always with him as a nice memory he will talk about with everyone, every time.

On arrival at the airport he talked about his experience to his mother and sister for several hours (at 11 p.m.), and he only stopped because it was very late at night.

Our programme in London was the following: We arrived at Heathrow and were taken to our hotel where the kids could have a rest after the excitements of the flight.(Csabika was allowed to enter the cockpit of the Malev flight and he was shown in the air how the airplane was operating). He really liked it, could hardly say a word, just stood there for minutes... He was simply stunned by this experience.

After the short break on Monday the team (three sick children and their companions) left to see Croydon. This part of London was full of interesting things from the red double-deckers to the people, whose way of speaking was also very interesting... We checked out the department stores and, of course, bought some umbrellas as it was raining continuosly. A real London cab took us to the hotel after our first supper together, and the evening ended with some conversation.

Next day we went for a sightseeing tour with British Tours. A guide and a very kind bus driver kept showing us the sights, we could hardly follow their instructions what buildings to look at on the right or on the left. We felt quite tired at the end. As traffic in the city is very heavy we decided to take a walk to the British Museum, which is wonderful and enormous. This was also a wish by one of the children (David).

After the visit to the museum our very nice guide (Susan) showed us to a pizzeria, where the hungry little team had some nice pizzas. Then we returned to Hotel Bedford to relax after this busy day. Later in the day we left again for some stroll in town and the team also tasted a real English speciality, fish and chips, at a very nice restaurant. Another day was over and none of us needed to be lulled at night...

For the next day we were expecting even more things to see. With the help of the Hungarian Cultural Institute and the Hungarian Embassy we had the chance to visit the Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Science, the London Eye, and then we took a boat on the Themse where our guides, Anikó and Ildikó also gave the kids some London souvenirs, a dressed-up lion for each of them.

For the last day we left Madame Tussaud's, which was Ivett's wish. Unfortunately, the elevator was out of order so we could not enter the building. For compensation we took the little girl and our other children to the greatest toy shop in London, Hamleys. The kids and ourselves were just swept off our feet by the range and size of this wonderful store.

Our time was over even though the children kept saying how much they wanted to stay.

Then off to the airport, on to the Malev flight, where the crew was again very nice to us and we were again let into the cockpit, which was a thrilling experience for Csabika.

I would like to thank all the kind people who did so much for this wonder, especially the two of you, Évi és Gábor.

I will let everyone know that there are people in this world who fulfill children's dreams!

Thank you, and kind regards, Csaba and his family
