ANSWERS
Sample 1: One of the best experiences I had ever had together with my friends was participating in one of those 'escape the room' games, you know, where a team of people is locked in a room and must find clues and solve puzzles to complete a given mission and find the key to escape. I had heard a lot about this type of entertainment and really wanted to participate, but only managed to when my friend decided to have an unusual birthday outing.
So, there were 6 or 7 of us in a team. We were kind of spies who broke into someone's house to find some secret files. Frankly speaking, I don't remember the storyline in detail, but I remember that we had one hour to escape the room to avoid being caught and imprisoned. The room, in which we were locked, was packed with different stuff such as books, maps, fedoras, magnets, sticky notes, watches, old wigs, compasses, lamps, board games, playing cards. The puzzles were really challenging and intriguing.
It was real fun. We were frantically searching for clues, Some of them involved solving riddles, putting items in the correct order, or finding a set of objects hidden in the room. What I will never forget is that there was a broken clock and for a long time we couldn't figure out that we had to pay attention to the time it stopped on. By the way, it appeared to be the last clue. So we even thought we would sink with the ship, but then one us had a brainwave and we survived in the last minute.
It was really unusual an activity for all of us as we hadn't done anything like that before. And to tell the truth, I didn't expect it to be so interesting. Sample 2: I've always been a serial traveller, but I used to buy package tours from reputable tour operators only. So I was taken care of from start to finish. However, last summer, I became obsessed with the idea of taking a road trip. I wanted to make the most of my holiday time, so I wanted to have a multi destination trip. Of course, I didn't wanted to travel alone. So I invited 2 of my friends to join me. I was excited and scared at the same time. First of all, we created a trip itinerary based on our preferences and budget. Then we rented a van, took our luggage, tents, sleeping bags, food and water and hit the road.
It was a really enjoyable journey. We enjoyed the scenery along the way. There were stretches of long winding hairpins, sections with many switchbacks, great coastal roads, mountain tunnels, spectacular bridges, and some of the most breathtaking mountain passes.
It was an adventurous journey as well. Once we had to deviate from the route because the road was washed away by floods. As a result, we found a nice secluded beach where we decided to stay for a few days. It was a spontaneous decision. And it was worth it. Also, we saw ancient castles and fortresses. We visited a vineyard and tasted wine.
It was both romantic and adventurous. And one of the most important things is that it was a very comfortable journey as we stopped whenever and wherever we wanted, we could move as fast or as slowly as we wanted. And more importantly, we could take nearly as much luggage as we needed.
