I'm Peter and I live  in Germany.  

During summer I like to travel  to Italy,

because  of the weather and the

people there. Last summer I took a plane

 over Munich to Rome.  From the

airport we went to our hotel  by bus.

We stopped  at a small restaurant for a

quick meal. The driver parked the bus  

behind the restaurant. Nobody could find

the bus and the driver, so we waited  

outside the restaurant  for one hour.

The driver was walking  through the

small park  round the restaurant which

we did not know. So we were very angry

 with him. But my holidays were great.

We sat  at campfires and went dancing

 till the early mornings.
