THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE HOLIDAY

My most memorable experience happened three months ago when I went to the south of France with my husband. We went by boat and car. We were there for two weeks and we stayed in a small hotel. We had a very good time. We sunbathed and read books. We went to the beach every day. We visited a lot of historical places. The weather was lovely and the food in France was wonderful.

But on the last day our car broke down. We didn’t speak French and we needed to get to Boulogne to get the boat to England. Luckily, we met another Englishman, Simon Pike. He was very friendly. He had a car and he took us to Paris to get the train to Boulogne.

When we arrived at the station, Simon said, “Don’t worry. I speak a little French.” He ran to the ticket office and bought us two tickets. He asked a guard in French, “Excuse me! Which platform for Boulogne?” “Platform 7,” said the guard, ‘but hurry! It leaves in two minutes.”

We ran to platform 7 and got on the train. We said goodbye and thanked Simon. “You’re welcome,” he said. “Have a good trip!” The train left, and we started to talk to an Italian tourist.

“What time do we arrive in Boulogne?” we asked. “Boulogne?” he said. “I think you have a problem. This train goes to Toulouse.”
