TRAVEL AND HOLIDAYS
1. We had a great time. I went white-water rafting, bungee-jumping, gliding, and I even learnt how to
parachute! ADVENTURE HOLIDAY
2. This is a very popular kind of holiday. Basically, you pay for your flight, hotel accommodation and
airport transfers before you leave, and then all you need to worry about when you get to your chosen
destination are day-to-day expenses. PACKAGE HOLIDAY
3. We found a sheltered spot in the corner of the site and started to set up our tent. Unfortunately, we
discovered that we had left the pegs at home! CAMPING HOLIDAY
4. Our cabin was very cramped, but we didn’t mind too much as we spent most of our time on the deck
and taking advantage of the ship’s restaurants, bars and other facilities. CRUISE
5. We had a beautiful chalet at the foot of the slopes, and it was only a fifteen-minute cable-car journey
to the top of the piste. SKIING HOLIDAY
6. At dusk we came to a watering hole where the animals had gathered to drink. The guide told us to
stay in the jeep for our own safety, and also to prevent us frightening off the animals. SAFARI
7. The youth hostel was basic but clean, as everybody had to take off their boots before going inside. Of
course, after a long day marching over muddy fields, these were absolutely filthy. HIKING
HOLIDAY
8. We put on some warm clothes and a lifejacket and got onto the yacht. Unfortunately, we didn't get
any further than the harbour as there was no wind! SAILING HOLIDAY
9. We spent a week in London and tried to see as much of it as possible; Buckingham Palace, the
Tower of London, Trafalgar Square, you name it, we saw it. I must have taken hundreds of pictures.
SIGHTSEEING HOLIDAY
