When the Channel Tunnel opened, many people had high expectations. Instead of travelling for up to 3 hours by sea, the tunnel appeared to be an attractive alternative. However, the Channel Tunnel project ran into some unexpected difficulties, for example, nobody had imagined that there might be a power failure, leaving the passengers stranded in the tunnel for hours. Obviously, problems like this have been overcome and the tunnel now satisfies passengers’ requirements for a fast and enjoyable journey.

Tenerife is a Spanish island which is situated off the coast of North Africa. Having visited many islands where the nightlife is not very lively, I was thrilled when I saw so many restaurants, cafes and discos in Tenerife. It is a stunning island whose beauty captivates all those who go there. That is the reason why many people visit the island year after year.

I prefer travelling by train. It is usually more comfortable and safer than travelling by bus or car. I can relax, read a book or listen to music during the journey. Trains are also more convenient for long trips because I do not have to worry about traffic jams. That is why I think train travel is the best choice for me.
