18、The journey was long and tired .We left London at five

76．       

o'clock in the evening and took eight hours in the train .

77．       

We’d been traveling for three hours before someone appear

78．       

selling food and drinks . It was darkness all the time we were

79．       

crossing Wales so we could see nothing across the window .

80．       

When we finally arrived Holyhead nearly everyone was

81．       

sleeping . As soon as the train stopped , everybody came to life ,

82．       

grabbing suitcases and rush onto the platform . While we were

83．       

getting off the train , there was an announcement which the boat

84．       

had not arrived already from Ireland and there had been a delay .

85．       

When the boat finally came we had been waiting for over two hours .
