NARRATIVE

Tell a story

We had a three-day weekend and we thought of going away for the weekend. We decided to go to Malaga. We would go shopping and spend a few hours in the spa as well, in order to relax and switch off from the monotony. It seemed (to be) a good idea, however I would have preferred to stay at home. During the journey we were talking about when we were due to arrive at the hotel and planning to go drinking (go out for a drink). When we arrived at the hotel we left our luggage in the room and we went down to the dining room to have dinner. We ate a delicious menu with an assortment of Japanese dishes. (The) Next day, when we woke up Peter said to me that he did not feel well and that he had had nightmares overnight. Furthermore, despite the fact that he took a few pills he still had a temperature. Therefore, we had to cancel our reservations in the spa and restaurant, and visit the doctor. The doctor said he probably had high temperature owing to food poisoning so, he had better be admitted to hospital (go to a hospital) for at least four days. Obviously, I did not want to leave him alone, and consequently I spent days and nights at hospital. He got better gradually, but he was not well enough to drive back home. There was no use worrying. There was nothing we could do, only wait. As soon as he got well we returned home.

Nowadays, in spite of the mishap we often go to Malaga to spend our free time going on a hike (hiking) and admiring the great landscape.
