Our journey started on 1 an empty railway platform. The temperature had dropped to minus 3° the night before and it was still 2 very cold. I was 3 very tired after a 4 bad night's sleep and I wasn't looking forward to the trip. The station was 5 very quiet until the train arrived a few minutes later. The sun started to rise as we set off and I could see 6 nice stripes of red and orange across the sky. Suddenly, I could smell hot coffee. We had skipped breakfast and I realised I was 7 very hungry. At that moment a man appeared selling coffee and 8 big pieces of sweet bread - it was 9 very nice. After a few stops along the line, we could hear people talking and laughing. Moments later, our carriage was 10 full of local people going to market. They wore traditional clothes in 11 nice colours and they were very friendly. They told us 12 interesting stories and gave us advice about the next part of our trip. By the time we reached our stop, we had made lots of 13 nice new friends.
