À VOYAGE BY SEA
Alice: Hello, Ann. Haven't seen you for ages!
Ann: Oh, I've been on a wonderful journey. I travelled to Odessa and then
had a voyage by sea.
Alice: Fantastic! Did you go there with your parents?
Ann: I did. I travelled with mum and dad. We left Moscow for Odessa by
train.
Alice: Did you like it?
Ann: Yes, indeed. Our journey was very nice. I had a comfortable seat1
next to the window.
Alice: Did you have to change anywhere?
Ann: Oh, no. We were lucky. It was a through train.
Alice: When did you arrive in Odessa?
Ann: At midnight. We were tired, and we missed the last bus, you see. So
we took a taxi and went straight to a hotel.
Alice: Did you stay there long?
Ann: No, we didn't. In fact we spent only a night there. In the morning we
caught a bus to the port as our ship left at 10.
Alice: Is Odessa a big port?
Ann: It certainly is. You can see a lot of ships from different countries
there.
Alice: How was it at sea?
Ann: I think there is nothing like travelling by sea. I liked the sea and the
wind, I liked the friendly faces of the people, and the food, and the music
on the ship radio. By the way, there was a swimming pool on board the
ship, so I could swim a lot.
Alice: What was the weather like?
Ann: Fantastic! It was very warm, but never too hot. Once it rained, but it
was sweet warm rain, so I liked it too.
Alice: Did you
you take any pictures?
Ann: I certainly did. I took many pictures of different places. Come and
see me some day. We'll look through them and I'll show you the video
too.
Alice: Thanks. I will.
