Disastrous Journeys This happened about fifteen years ago. My friends and me were on holiday so we decided to go to Sevilla but we didn't prepare any thing and at this time we didn't have satnav. Next morning we met and started our trip. I was driving arround three hours and we arrived near Madrid but, I didn't know Madrid so my friend Sergio drove because he knew the city very well, FALSE. He had known the old Madrid but at last time it had chnged a lot. We lookedfor a map in the car but there wasn't any one. We tried to read the signals but every two highway we got lost. After two hours and a half lost, I read in a lorry: Sevilla, so we decided to drive behind it. Finally the lorry found the right direction so we could leave Madrid. As soon as we could, we stoped in a highway shop and we bought a map. At the end and using the map we managed to continue our trip and arrive to Sevilla.
