A Long Travel 6

I was feeling worse after i talked with my mumy. I missed her too much. Here was too foreign me. I was alone here. I didn't have any friend here. I was watching out from window when Ghost started to bark. I fondled its head. I watched it for a short time. Then my phone rang. It was my cousin, Aslı. I missed her too, like i missed everybody. She is a pertty girl, one of my best friend. After i talked with her, I forgot my longing. She told me every gossip that i didn't hear. I laughed more than i talked. She is carzy! I told her Ghost. She wanted its photos. After our talk, i took Ghost and my photos and we walked to photographer. I suppressed our photos with my photos on my camera. I looked around for a park and i saw we were near to Dean's Yard that we were near as i could read its sign. We entered and i started to look my photos. I wasn't a photographer but my photos were nice.
My phone rang again. It was an unknown number. When i press yes button, i don't know why,  my heart was beating so fast. It was a young girl. I felt i'll take bad news and i was right. I talked to Aslı before half an hour and now she was in hospital. She told me my number was the least number in her daily talking. That's why the nurse called me. I couldn't stand to sit and i stood up. I looked Ghost. It was seeming sad like me. 'Come here Ghost. We're going.' I took it Lenobia. She was a Vet and she knows what i could do with Ghost. I told her everything when i go herside and she said 'Ok, Ghost may stay with me. I always love dogs. Go and look your cousin. When you come back, you take Ghost.' I felt myself so bad and i went out. While i was going i said myself 'I'll come here for you Ghost.' and i called my aunt.


When i told her Aslı, she couldn't say anything for a short time. When she talked her voice was so weak. I was sad for her. I went to hotel and i picked up  all my stuff. I went to airport with my suitcase. I took a ticket for half an hour later. I thought my first day here while i was waiting. I feeling so bad that day. Now i was worse. That i was behaving capriciously. Now i was worrying for my cousin. I asked myself, 'What happened? How could she fall in hospital? Is that an car crash?..' I took a deep breath when i stoop up for my plane. Passage couldn't finish for me. I hate that four hours. While i was going to Istanbul,  i was praying for my cousin. Finally i arrived and went to hospital with my suitcase. I couldn't think to go to home and give up it. I went to my family's side. They were bad but the worst my aunt. I hugged her. I asked my aunt:
 "What happened?"
"A car crush Sueda. It was a really bad car crush." She took a deep breath. I felt myself worse and worse. A nurse went out Aslı's room. She told us her operation passed fine. We were so pleased this. And she added we may see her an hour later. Short time before we were crying with sadness now we were crying happiness. My God, you're the biggest! That hour passed harder than four hours that i was in plane. Then, the hour passed and we came into the room.



Aslı was awake. She saw us and smiled. My pretty friend, was seeming tired. My aunt asked her daughter how happened the accident and Aslı started to tell us. "I was on my home way. It was evening. I bored and i thought London was in afternoon. So i could call Sueda and i could talk to her. We talked and i felt myself better. I saw a kitten that was sleeping next to a tree. I want to show that to Sueda as thanks. It was opposite the road and there wasn't traffic lights. I thought i may go there but i couldn't. A big and red car in fact jeep striked me. And i'm here." I hugged my cousin but it was hard because her chest was crushed. A nurse came into the room and said 'Miss Çağlayan will stay with us for a short time and she needs to have rest.' I linked my mother's arm and went out with big smiles on our faces. When i through in door, i looked Aslı and smiled. My sweet friend was fine. And she wasn't going to make me leave my next London journey undone.

A Long Travel 5

I woke up with a wet touching on my face. When I opened  my eyes, i saw Ghost's happy face. It was vigorous and healty. I hugged my sweet and clumsy dog. I thought it should be starve. I stood up and went to bathroom. I washed my hands and face. I opened the sallon's window. When i put on ground its food it barked. This was its love words. I had my breakfast. While i was drinking my tea, Ghost just finished its breakfast. My room was in the uppest floor. I went to terrace. The scene was incredible! The sun was rising yet. The sky was reddish still. I took Ghost out. We went on a morning walk. There wasn't anybody on the way. We walked and walked. When our walking finished, we sat a bank in the St James Park. In fact the park away from the hotel just ten minutes but we walked around.






 I was strave. I thought, i lost all my breakfast's calories. "Let's go a cafe for lunch Ghost!" We went a cafe named 'Cafe Mediterranee'.  I had my lunch but Ghost wasn't hungry so it didn't eat anything. The cafe was in the Buckingham Gate Road. We went out and turned right. We walked ahead and the Westminster Bridge was in front of us. After we passed the bridge, The Florence Nightingale Museum appeared.

 I paid £7.00 to enter into the museum. There was a lot of stuff inside.



 The museum wasn't crowded so much.



I read the guide because i didn't know anything the museum. It was telling me these:
"The Victorians
Florence Nightingale is one of the most famous Victorians. Queen Victoria reigned from 1837 to 1901, the longest reigning British monarch to date. She was the figurehead of a vast empire and oversaw dramatic changes in British society. During this time Britain saw a great expansion of wealth, power, and culture.
The British Empire covered a fifth of the globe and as Britain prospered and large industrial towns and cities grew, the lives of ordinary men and women changed dramatically. It was the age of steam and technological advancement, and also radical advances in education, social welfare, politics, medicine and health care."


The museum about the 1st World War. It was a real museum. There were everything, paintings, candle sculptures, clothes about that century.



 But i loved nursing uniform and candle scluptrues and nurses's photos and its decoration. In fact i adored everything in the museum.




Museum was brillant but i couldn't stand to stay in a close place. We went out a short time later. We got on a train.

There was a screen in the train. The screen was showing the stop's names. Normally i got off the train in St James Park Stop. But i didn't want to go to the hotel. Because of this, i was looked for something to not go to the hotel.  We passed my stop. I looked Ghost. And i remembered it didn't eat lunch. I hit my forehead. I press to the button for to get off. It was Hyde Park Corner Stop. I entered a supermarket and bought a small size of dog food and a plastic case. I sat a bank in front of the supermarket and put its lunch in the case on the ground. While it was eating, I was watching environment. There was a giant park near here. It was seeming brillant. I really wanted to go there.



After it had lunch, I directed Ghost to the park. I was curious where it is. We went there and i learnt it is usually close to the public. But The Palace is open during August and September. I was really lucky. Date was 11th August 2014. I entered inside and i saw i was right. Here was like a part of paradise in the world.


 Here was full of plants flowers and fresh air.



It was cold but i could stay here untill i die. There wasn't any enoughly word to tell the scene's excellent. It was unique i was sure that.



The Garden was incredible like it wasn't surround by concrete forests.



After we tasted the fresh air and watched those beautiful scenes, we went out. I was eating ice cream on way that i bought in garden. The weather was cold and ice cream too. That wasn't very logical but that was very funny and sweet.



We arrived the hotel. When i came in the room, i felt mmyself so tired. In Istanbul i never go out. I always prefer to stay at home but I came here to learn English and this is possible by going out, talking with people. I lied on my bed. I fell asleep. Today i learnt fresh air is  tiring.

A Long Travel 4

(There is a smart dog here! Whose it?)
I left the hospital about nine. I was feeling better on way. When i arrived my hotel,  I thought i'm luky. If i'm not, I could die. I put down my bag and my phone rang. It was my mother. After she calmed down she told me my sister and brother, they were fine. At the same time i prepared my breakfast.We talked about half an hour.  I had my breakfast and i decided not to stay at hotel today.

 I went out and walked around a park independently my map. The park was incrediable, fresh and lifefull.

I looked its sign. I'd like to come here and see again. There was a writing on the sign: St James Park. It was a big park, had a lake. I sat a bank in front of the lake.

I watched the birds that were trying to make a home and cats that were waiting food someones  and the last i looked a dog that was seeiming like crying.  It was sitting next to a tree and seeming so poor. I went to its beside and heard some voice from it like crying. It was a big dog but it was seeming like very undefence. I looked it more careful to understand why it was crying. Then i noticed it was wounded. I was feeling very sorry for it. I took it to a vet by a taxi. The vet was a pretty woman. Her name was Lenobia Alen. She made me calm by told me the dog was fine. The dog had a pet apperance but there wasn't any owner.  Miss Alen told me that it used to belong an old man but when he die, the dog stayed ownerless. It was explaining the dog's well groomed apperance. I decided to take it to my hotel.


While i was going to my room, i was thinking what its name should be. When i opened the door, i found; Ghost. I looked to Ghost with a big smile on my face. Ghost was seeming lazy and sleeper. I envied it. I put on ground a soft and tiny pillow. It would be Ghost's bed.


  My clumsy dog lied down to the bed. I went to the kitchen for find some dog food. There wasn't. I went out the hotel and entered into a supermarket. I bought a collar, a kennel and a medium size pocket of dog food. It should be enough, at least for a week.  I turned back my room and looked my new dog. It stood up like it understood it will eat. When I looked it i felt my headache lessent. I already got used to Ghost.

After i fed it, i saw my map was on the coffee table. It was so inviting. I prepared and went out with Ghost. While we were going downstairs, i decided where we'll go. I directed Ghost to the Big Ben.

While we were walking, i thought i did well with going out. It made me feel better. I took a breath. The weather was fresh. When we arrived the Big Ben, Ghost started to bark and jump. Ghost was seeming it was in its favourite place. There were a tourist group. I joined them. Their guide was telling them a lot of stuff about the clock. The guide was very boring. He was telling just information, not stories about the clock.


"... Its formal name is Saint Stephen's Tower. 'Big Ben' name uses for one of five bells on the clock. The bell has 16 ton weight. The clock's face is about 7.5 meters. Its numbers are about 60 centimeters. Big Ben knowns with its correctness time..."




After our Big Ben journey we went to the Museum of Garden History. There were a lot of stuff about gardening.







 Someones were beautiful, someones were ugly but i could see all of them were useful.


When i saw them i loved gardening. Who knows maybe when i turned home, i learn? But my favourite part in the museum is gardens.


 The plants had so sweet apperance.  Someones were next to an ornamental pool.


 Pink, red, yellow... the colours were  brillant! We walked around it about two hours. Of course i took a lot of photos.




When we left the museum, i noticed Ghost was tired. We went back to hotel. These adventures enough for a day. I put dog food in a case on the ground. Ghost slept after its dinner. I looked its wound and i felt remorseful for i made it tired. It should have rest. I looked out the window. It was too late to stay awake.
