Lost Luggage
Two years ago, I went on holiday to Rome with my family. It was a four-hour train journey from our home, and we all helped to plan the trip. We were looking forward to seeing the famous sights! Everything went really well and we had a great time visiting the amazing tourist attractions. I was in charge of taking all the photos with my band new phone, which had an excellent camera. We stayed in Rome for two weeks, and it was really incredible.
On the train journey back home, I decided to open my backpack, but I couldn’t find it. (1)………. I was very upset because I’d packed my phone in that backpack, along with my travel journal. (2)………. Weeks passed, and then months. At first, I contacted the train company every week, but after some time, it was clear that my backpack was never going to be found.
