El Señor Salcedo

My friend Carol and I decided to have a short break at the seaside for a few days. We made a reservation at a hostel in South Wales where the prices were very reasonable. We were looking forward to a few days of sunbathing, seeing the sights and eating delicious food. However, it turned out that the hostel was in a very remote location with no beaches, cafes or facilities nearby. Seeing the heavy rain, we headed home the following day.

Seaside break

When you' re camping, don't try and put up a tent unless the ground is completely level.
Choose campsites with a good variety of facilities and entertainment in case the weather is terrible and you can't spend much time outdoors.
If you wane to explore the countryside and you're hiking during the day, be sure to have a small backpack for water, maps, lunch, etc.

Air travel

If there is a direct train, it is usually the fastest way to travel from A to B in Britain.
A stopping train stops at a lot of smaller stations between main stations. An express (train) provides a faster service to your destination, and avoids the problem of traffic jams on the bus services.
For rail travel, you might need a single or a return ticket. Many people buy a travel card, which allows them to travel on any bus or train in a specific area for a period of time for less money. A bus pass lets you do the same for bus routes. You can buy rail tickets online, from a ticket machine or at the ticket office I booking office in the station.
If you get a train or bus In time, you catch it. If you are late, you may miss it. You may need to change trains or buses.
