Last summer, my sister and I went to Portugal for a week, and nothing went the way we had planned.

We woke up at five because our train to the airport left at six.

While we were waiting for a taxi, it started to rain heavily.

By the time we reached the station, the train had already left.

We took a bus instead, but we missed our flight, so we waited six hours for the next one.

When we finally landed in Lisbon, we were

exhausted

We had been awake since five, and we had not eaten anything all day.

Then we

discovered

airline

had lost my

suitcase

I had packed my sunscreen, my camera and my favourite jacket in it.

The

staff

promised to find it, and they gave me a small bag with a few basic things.

I wore the same clothes for two days.

My sister lent me a T-shirt, but it was too small, and we laughed a lot.

On the third day, we decided to visit the beach.

The sun had been shining all morning, so we felt quite hopeful.

While we were walking there, the sky turned dark, and it began to

pour

We had left our umbrellas at the hotel, so we got completely

called me.
