I spent my holidays in Wales last year. I travelled around by bike. Every morning I got up
early, set off on my bike, visited the villages on the way and talked to people.
My friends preferred to spend their holidays by the sea. So while I was cycling, my friends
were probably sitting on the beach.
But one day, when I was talking to a farmer in a village, my mobile rang. My friends were
phoning to tell me how awful the weather was at the seaside.
