Tarifa




Hello! I’m going to talk about the trip of Tarifa because I didn’t go to Jerez.

I liked it so much, it was very funny, but we were on a ship almost all the time.

First, we travelled by coach and we arrived to Tarifa about quarter past eleven and we went to the library and there a man tell us a lot of things about dolphins and whales.

Later, we went to the ship and we were sailing a lot of time. My friend Andrea and I explored the ship: first we went to a room with glass walls, but we couldn’t see anything. Then we were to the middle floor, but we were dizzy there so we went out and we could see the dolphins. A lot of people vomit and stained my friend’s bag, but I had fun at the ship and I took a lot of videos and photos with my camera.

When we left the ship we went to the beach. It was rare because there were two beaches. My friends and I were on the left beach (it was little and colder than the other, but I liked it so much because the water was very clean and the sand was white) and the rest of the class on the other. We had lunch and some people swam in the sea. Then we went to the coach again and we come back. I had a lot of fun and I want to return there again!.
