TRAVELLERS’ TALES
1 _____
We often travel by plane but we don’t use budget airlines, even though they are
cheaper and often fly to the places we want to go. I’d rather pay more for a bit more
comfort. Last Christmas, we wanted to spend the holidays with family and friends and
we had a change of flight in Frankfurt, Germany. The time between flights was 45 minutes
and we soon realised that we weren’t going to make it. The airline was good to us
and the other passengers and gave us food and a comfortable hotel to sleep in. We
got a flight the next morning but, unfortunately, it meant that we missed a big family party.
I thought I’d been clever and found a quick way to get to Canada but I was very wrong.
Now I know that I need to leave at least two hours between flights if I want to be safe.
That’s much better than missing a flight or arriving without your luggage.

2 _____
We decided to travel across Europe by train. Train travel always looks so romantic in
films. I imagined leisurely meals in the dining car, meeting exotic people, followed by
a comfortable night’s sleep. Things started to go wrong before we had even left. The
security and check-in for the train from London was just like at an airport except that the
queues were longer. Then, when we got to Brussels, we found that our night train was
three hours late and there was nowhere to leave our bags. After a very long and not very
good meal at the station, it was finally time to get on the night train. It was OK but the
compartment was too hot and when we opened the window, it was too noisy to sleep.
The beds were hard and there was no dining car so everyone went straight to their
own compartments and didn’t socialise at all. It wasn’t quite as I had imagined it!

3 _____
We wanted to go to England but weren’t sure how to travel. We live a long way from
an airport and, anyway, none of us like flying. If we went by train, we would have to
change three times. In the end, we went by coach. It left our home town at five o’clock

in the afternoon, as planned, and arrived in London, exactly on time, twenty-two hours
later. I wasn’t expecting to sleep well and it wasn’t as comfortable as a bed but it was
better than I had imagined. The bus stopped every four hours for a rest and we all got
out. Everyone was very friendly and chatted and the atmosphere was almost like
a party. Then, at about eleven o’clock, it all went quiet as people tried to sleep. When
I got out in London, half asleep but happy, I felt as if I was saying goodbye to old friends.
I’m now planning on doing more travelling by coach.
