Hi George!
Finally I am at home! I have just had the worst holidays you can imagine.
On our first day, we overslept, and when we arrived at the check-in desk at the airport, my
mum had forgotten the passports and plane tickets at home. We had to go back to pick them
up, and of course we missed the flight. We had to take another flight, in the evening. When
we arrived at the hotel, our room reservation had been cancelled and there was no room
vacancy. The receptionist called another hotel and got us 2 rooms. The hotel room was ok,
but the room service was terrible. Every time we needed something we had to wait for hours.
As there was a fantastic beach near the hotel, we went there for a swim. Imagine! The first
time I went into the water, I was stung by a jellyfish. I was scared and my parents took me to
the hospital. There, we had to wait for hours because there was a strike. Most of the staff
wasn’t working.
My sister stayed there and got a sun burn. She was so red that looked like a lobster.
On the second day, the weather was fantastic,. As my parents wanted to go sightseeing, they
rented a car. On the way to the mountains, first we had a flat tire. I had to help my father to
change the tire. Then we got lost because the car had no GPS. We finally managed to get
back. My father was tired and speeding. The police caught him, and gave him a speed ticket.
We arrived late at the hotel, but as we were hungry, my parents ordered some food. It tasted
funny. On the next day we were all sick. We vomited, and had fever.
On the third day we decided not to leave the place to avoid more accidents, so we went to the
hotel swimming pool. When my brother was running to the pool board, he fell down and broke
his right leg. He spent the rest of the holidays on crutches.
The other three days were ok, except for the bad weather weather. It was always raining.
When we arrived at the airport there was a 6-hour flight/plane delay. We had to wait there for
the plane to take off.
After landing we went to the baggage claim to pick up our luggage, but out suitcases didn’t
appear. They were lost. My father had to fill in some papers, before going home. My uncle
was already there waiting to bring us home. On our way home there was a carjacking. My
uncle’s BMW was stolen and he had to call the police and for 2 taxis to take us home.
Home, sweet home! Here we are! Ah! The door was open, and my parents’ computer and TV
had disappeared. We were robbed. My mother had forgotten to lock the door and the
windows.
I will never forget these holidays, but for the wrong reasons. And your holidays? How were
they? I hope they weren’t as bad as mine!
See you tomorrow at the sports centre.
