Holidays

We have just come back tired after a two-week holiday. We were really stupid, on the last day we drove non-stop from Marseille to Calaise – we should have. However, when I started getting acquainted with the other holiday vacationers I totally forgot about the bad weather conditions and started feeling better. The group of my new friends grew hour by hour. They were offering me drinks and I never refused.

In the last three days the weather forecast was absolutely wonderful, so my friends and I planned a trip to the local market in order to buy some souvenirs. When we reached our destination the most amazing thing for me was that I had to argue over the price for every product. Before arriving to the hotel we ate at a restaurant. I ordered a serving of stewed vegetables, which tasted lovely.

At the airport we each exchanged phone numbers and now I am looking forward to seeing them again.
