My trip to Liverpool

Last Christmas I went to Liverpool in Great Britain to visit my sister and her family. I was very
happy and took lots of presents with me. I was also very sad because my dog Lucky stayed in
Barcelona in the dog hotel.

On Christmas Day we had a big meal and ate turkey and Christmas pudding. Afterwards we
pulled the Christmas crackers and talked a lot. The thing I liked the most was when I watched
English television because some programmes are very funny.

One day I visited the River Mersey with my nephew and crossed the river on a famous ferry boat
called the Snowdrop. It was very cold so afterwards we went to a café and had hot chocolate and
cake. At the end of the trip I was happy to return to Spain because it is sunny and warm here.
