past simple form.
travel, but there was a lot to see and a lot of time to
think! Before we left, we packed our bags very carefully
because we didn’t want to take anything that we didn’t
need (too heavy!). Some days we travelled about 80
kilometres, but other days – when we were tired – we
didn’t go very far at all. And sometimes, when we were
very tired, we didn’t want to cycle and we got lifts on
trucks. We didn’t plan our trip very carefully, and we
often changed our plans. We slept in tents next to the
road and watched the stars for hours. The best thing
about travelling this way is that you can meet the people
who live there. They were interested in us and wanted to
nd out about our trip. We even saw inside a traditional
home – a yurt – and had dinner with the family!
