For the last few months I have spent every Saturday in my flat and have done nothing more
exciting than work at home, read the newspapers and watch television. I had begun feeling bored with
this and so, last weekend I thought I would do something different. I rang up several of my friends and
we decided to go to London for the day. I was really excited as I hadn’t been to London since I was
ten. We decided to go by coach as this was by far the cheapest means of transport that was available
even though it meant that we needed to get up very early. Once in London we decided to take a
sightseeing tour as we wanted to see some of the famous buildings. After the tour we bought some
sandwiches and ate them in a small park. In the afternoon two of us went shopping and the others went
to the theater. We met up again at 6:30 p.m, and went to a small restaurant in Soho. The meal was
really good but, unfortunately, it took much longer than we had expected. We had to get a taxi back to
the coach station. Luckily, we got there just two minutes before our coach left.
