Lesson 29 An Exciting Trip
Do you remember Professor Turner? Last summer he went to Peru to study ancient cultures. He went with two of his students, Susan and Martin. They flew to Lima, then took a bus to Cuzco. Cuzco is an interesting old city high up in the Andes Mountains. From there, they went to Machu Picchu, an ancient Inca city.
They wanted to go further into the mountains, so they hired guides and some donkeys. It was a long and difficult journey. They climbed higher and higher, crossed deep valleys and swift rivers.
At last, they reached a beautiful valley and a huge waterfall. It was a wonderful sight. The excursion had taken them four days.
On the way back, Susan decided to go with another group of tourists. Professor Turner and Martin started off alone. After walking for some hours, they decided to have a rest and then continued on their way.
It was getting dark when they suddenly heard the noise of some big animals. They quickly climbed the nearest tree. They saw several bears sniffing round their backpacks and touching their tent. At last, the bears went away. Martin climbed down from the tree, but Professor Turner told him to be careful.
When they arrived back in Machu Picchu, Martin went straight to bed. He was tired, but he couldn't sleep. He closed his eyes and all he could see were bears. He dreamed about bears all night!
The next day they returned to Cuzco by bus. They stayed in Cuzco for two days, then flew back to Lima. They were glad to be back in the city again. That night, they had a big meal in a beautiful old restaurant. They drank a toast to Peru and its people and talked about their exciting trip.
