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.
