What kinds of holidays do you like?

like city breaks o r activity holidays. They're too tirin g fo r me. I w ork so hard that I 
like to ju st do nothing when I'm away. I usually go to Italy on holiday, which is really 
nice but quite expensive!

but took the boat back, which was a real treat. I love travelling by boat! When I was

the pool and sunbathed.

the bus.

I’ve got a fla t on my own in the city centre! It's not very big but it suits me.
