Presenter:
Hello and welcome to today's Travel Program.
Today we've asked you to call in with your vacation horror
stories-vacations where things went wrong. Our first caller today
is Bill. Hi, Bill.
Bill:
Hello.
Presenter:
So where was this vacation?
Bill: Well,
this didn't happen to me; it happened to my aunt and uncle last
summer.
Presenter:
Where did they go?
Bill: To
Ibiza, in Spain.
Presenter:
A fantastic place for a vacation.
Bill: Yes,
a fantastic place if you're seventeen- but they're nearly
seventy!
Presenter:
Oh...
Bill: And
they wanted a quiet, relaxing vacation-you know. They like walking
in the woods, sitting on quiet beaches-things like that. They don't
go abroad very often, but they wanted to do something
different.
Presenter:
so why did they choose Ibiza? It's "the party
island."
Bill: Yes,
it is now, but they didn't know that. You see, they first went to
Ibiza in the late sixties, when it was a beautiful, peaceful island
with traditional cafes and restaurants, deserted beaches. And this
was exactly what they wanted. So they looked on the Internet-my
uncle loves using his computer-and they booked a hotel for a week
in the same part of the island where they'd been before. And they
found some cheap flights. It all seemed so ferfect.
Presenter:
So what happened?
Bill: Well,
you can imagine. It was a complete disaster. Their hotel was in San
Antonio, a resort that's full of bars and clubs.
Presenter:
Oh, no.
Bill:
Yeah... There was music until 5:00 in the
morning, noise of car doors opening, motorcycles, and people
shouting. They couldn't sleep at all. They were too tired to do
anything during the day. They tried to get some sleep, but they
couldn't because it was too hot. When they came home, they were in
a state of shock.
Presenter:
Oh, no... So, what are their plans for this
year?
Bill: I
don't know. I think they'll probably stay at home this year... and
next year... and probably the year after that...
Presenter:
Well, thank you, Bill. And now...
