Traveling to different places is essential for gaining experience and achieving satisfaction. I will take many trips using public transportation like bus, trains. Today I am going to talk about one particular journey I made by train. It was about 3 months ago and my parents and I decided to visit the city famous for its tourist attractions. It’s about 400 km away from my hometown. We booked our train ticket and it was the first time we were all travelling by train together. We were so excited and arrived at the station early in the morning around 6 am. Two and a half years we reached our destination on time. We spent most of the time on the train playing games like Ludo and Kart and playing some digital mobile games with my family and siblings. We also enjoyed a variety of snacks we brought from home. We took many selfies with my family to preserve happy memories and also recorded the surrounding scenery and the inside of the train. We also played music and watched a movie. Finally I was spending 8 hours on the train we reached our destination. I loved the journey because after a long time I got a chance to travel with my family and it was a wonderful experience for me and which was filled with laughter, fun and quality time together.
