A DAY OUT
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 newspaper and watch television. I
had begun feeling bored with this and so,last week 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 Lodndon 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 theatre.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.
