I’m Peter and I live in Germany. In summer I like to travel to Italy, because of the weather and the people there. Last summer I took a plane ___ Munich to Rome. From the airport we went to our hotel_____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 an hour. The driver was walking through the small park near the restaurant that we did not know. So we were very angry with him. But my holidays were great.
