The second Book that I started to read was "Doctor Jeckly and Mrs Hide" (level 4), and I didn't like it so, I changed this book for "A Christmas Carol" (level 4), and I liked it. But the book that I liked a lot was "Vodoo Island" (I don't remembere the level, but I think that it is level 3). I liked this book for the end, because, for me, it is very funny.

It was founded by Marie Toussaud, a French sculptress of images on wax, in the 19th century. She created lots of different sculptures. Major figures of her time had their wax replica, such as Voltaire or Benjamin Franklin. Nowadays, the museum is a place where you could find a large number of famous characters, from the past and the present. The Hollywood stars are obviously present. Madame Tussauds museum has some franchises around the world, in cities as Hong Kong and Las Vegas. The Madame Tussauds opening times are: Weekdays: 9.30am - 5.30pm Weekends: 10.29am - 6.30pm It is opened every day of the year except Christmas Day. All London’s museums are free except Madame Tussauds'. It is quite expensive, but the visit is very funny. The tickets prices are: Individual Tickets (1 - 14 people) = Adult - £22.50 Group Tickets (15+ people) = Adult - £22.25 We have the possibility to take a combined ticket. For only £32.50 we can visit the Madame Tussauds Museum and the British Airways London Eye. <strong>HYDE PARK</strong> Hyde Park is one of the biggest parks in the centre of London. It is divided by the Snake’s lake and is next to Kensington gardens. Hyde Park has an extension of 140 Ha aproximately. Inside the compound we can find the <em>Speakers’s corner </em>and the memorial in honor to princess Diana of Wales. Hyde Park is also the place choosen for conducting concerts. <strong>PICADILLY CIRCUS</strong> Piccadilly Circus is a famous square and street intersection located in the West End of London, in the district of Westminster. It’s the centre of the London nightlife, thanks to the huge and LEDs advertisement spaces there are. Picadilly is always a busy place full of tourists and local people who are problably buying at the exclusive shops, sometimes very expensive to the middle class. In the centre of the square we can find the Eros sculpture, in honor to Anthony Ashley Cooper, man who fought his whole life for the life conditions of the workers. I think it’s imperative going one night to have a drink in one of the pubs and take part in the london night. MADAME TUSSAUDS
