It was a lovely Spanish summer day when Angeles and I
correct
00
decided to go to Madrid. We packed in our bags
01
and took a taxi to the station where we have just
managed to
02
catch the eleven o’clock train. We settled down in our
seats
03
and took out our books to get read them, but we soon
04
both began to feel a little sleepy and fell asleep.
05
A few of hours later a guard on the train woke us up.
06
We had to get off because the line was being blocked
07
because of floods. The guard said that a bus would take
us
08
the rest of the whole way. I gave the bags to Angeles
who
09
struggled to the bus which soon set it off.
Unfortunately, the bus broke
10
right down after only an hour and we had to wait for a
mechanic
11
for more than the two hours. Finally, we were able to
continue our
12
journey and we arrived in Madrid later than we had been
expected,
13
but all the rain had stopped and the sun was shining.
Tired, but
14
optimistic, we went straight into a bar and had a
strong coffee
15
and a double brandy each. Things could only get better!
