HOLIDAYS OF THE WEEK
A. For an unusual family holiday, why not stay on a train? You get to live and sleep in a 1950s railway
carriage in a small village in Cornwall in the south west of England. There’s a living room, kitchen
and two bedrooms. It’s only 3 km from the beach and the cycling in the area is fantastic.
B. If music’s your thing, then how about a holiday with a difference in Gambia, finding out how to play
traditional African musical instruments? The price includes 5-star accommodation in huts built to look
like a traditional African village and two hours of lessons per day.
C. Not many people go to Mongolia on holiday, but why visit the seaside like everyone else if you can
enjoy this amazing country? You get your own guide and car, can decide where you go and what you
do each day. It’s certainly not cheap, but it’s the experience of a lifetime!
D. A beautiful farmhouse in the quiet French countryside is a very traditional way to take a break, but
there’s a good reason why it’s still so popular – it’s brilliant! You can try the local dishes at the many
restaurants in the area, there’s superb hiking in the nearby hills and you can go swimming in the lakes
there.

take ten to fourteen days. But I’m not a fast cyclist, and I want to enjoy visiting different places, so we
plan to ride for four weeks. We are going to start our trip next week in Ha Giang City. We will visit
historic cities like Hue and Ha Tinh, cycle through the pretty countryside and visit museums and castles
on the way. Andy wanted to camp, but I’d like a comfortable bed at the end of each day, so we are going
to stay in a homestay. I hope it doesn’t rain a lot, but I hope it’s not too hot either! Hopefully it will be
