I Text
Race to the Sun
Every year thousands of British tourists travel to the south of France for their summer holiday.
But what is the best way to get there, by car, train, or plane? A British newspaper sent two of its
journalists to find out. They had to travel from their homes in London to Avignon.

A When I got to security I saw that there was an enormous queue. I began to worry that I might
miss my flight, because the boarding limit is 40 minutes before take-off. I had to run to gate 48
and I arrived completely out of breath.

B I arrived on time! I picked up my suitcase and followed the Exit signs. It was great not to
worry about getting a bus or taxi to the city centre.

C We boarded. Because there are no seat numbers on these flights, everybody tries to get on as
quickly as they can. I sat next to a friendly Frenchman. We took off and soon I was looking
down on London. There was no meal, not even coffee, but we landed 10 minutes ahead of
schedule.

D At 4.15 a.m. a taxi picked me up and took me 32 miles to Stansted airport. Although it was
early morning, there was a lot of traffic and I arrived later than planned. I took my luggage to
check in and asked for a window seat but the woman said there were no seat numbers.

E At 7.10 a.m. I arrived at Waterloo station by taxi. It took me just 30 minutes from home. I
bought the papers and walked to the platform. I got on and found my seat. As soon as we started
moving, I went to find the buffet car and had a cup of coffee.

F Just outside the station I looked up and saw the medieval walls of Avignon’s historic city
centre. It was 2.20 in the afternoon and I was just in time for a late lunch! My ticket cost £65.80,
and I gave the journey 8/10 for comfort and 9/10 for convenience.

G I only had to wait twenty minutes for my luggage. Then I walked outside into bright sunshine
and waited for the bus to Avignon, about 40 kilometers away. I didn’t have to wait long and the
bus took 45 minutes. My ticket cost £63, and I gave the journey 5/10 for comfort and 5/10 for
convenience.

H I looked out the window. Although we were moving at 340 kilometers an hour, the journey
was smooth and relatively quiet. The part where we travelled under the English Channel took
just 22 minutes. Soon I was looking at the fields and farmhouses of France. I closed my eyes and
went to sleep.
