📋 Hotel in Ireland
Tour guide: Ladies and gentlemen. Here’s some information about our trip to Loch Ness tomorrow. It’s a long journey, about three hours each way, so we have to start early. That means we’ll have breakfast at half past seven. Don’t be late, please, as the bus has to leave at half past eight. When you finish breakfast, go to the car park. That’s where we’ll get on the bus. That’s the big car park behind the hotel. Remember to bring your pink tickets for lunch. We’ll have lunch at a restaurant near Loch Ness and you must show your pink ticket or you won’t get any lunch! If you haven’t got a pink ticket yet, you can get one from the office.
Oh, one more thing. I know it’s summer but it can get quite cold in the mountains even in July, so bring a jacket with you. You’ll need one in the evening.
