Yeah, I went to a museum that was not that interesting and I did some other interesting things, too.

Well, today, Beth, we are talking about days out and places that are good to visit for a day trip.

So tell us about your boring day, by the sound of it.

So it was a prison museum about, like, medieval England.

So I feel like it could have been a bit more exciting, but

instead I was reading a lot about religion and kings and stuff.

Okay, so you spent your weekend learning about prisoners from the Middle Ages?

I wouldn't recommend it too much, but museums can be a good thing.

What about a day trip that you've enjoyed?

I used to go on lots of day trips with my kids.

they don't really want to hang around with me anymore.

So I like watching sport, so I might meet friends and go and watch sport.

On Friday, I spent most of the day watching a cricket match.

I also went to the theatre this weekend and that was a really enjoyable day trip.

Well, yeah, we walked past quite a lot of them famous sights.

So we went past Big Ben, we walked past the London Eye, Trafalgar Square.

So do you like really adventurous day trips?

Like, do you like parachuting or bungee jumping or any of those things, or roller coasters?

I think if I'm on holiday, I'm a bit more adventurous.

So I've done things like, you know, been in speedboats and that kind of stuff, which I find quite enjoyable if I'm.

But I don't really like roller coasters and that sort of thing because they.

They scare me and make me feel a bit sick.

I used to like theme parks when I was younger, but I don't really like them anymore.

Okay, Beth, so is there anywhere that you have always wanted to visit for a day trip but you haven't?

I went to Brighton when I was a child, but

I can't remember it at all, to be honest.

So I'd really like to go there on a date trip because it's not too far and I like the beach and I want to have an ice cream, maybe some fish and chips.

You can take me on a day trip and show me around.

Is there anywhere that you've always wanted to go on a day trip?

I really like train travel and London is actually really close to the rest of Europe, but

we have the sea in the way, but we have the tunnel, so we can.

We can go to Paris just for the day and I.

It seems like maybe, like it's not long enough to just to go somewhere like Paris for a day, but

And I kind of like that idea of just going from London to Paris for the day and back on the train.

You'd need a really early train, really early train, really late train back, and lots of energy.

You wouldn't need to pay for your accommodation.

Go up the Eiffel Tower, come back down, go home.

Let's recap the vocabulary we heard during the conversation we had.

Day trip, which means visiting a place for just the day.

We heard thrill seeker, which describes someone who takes part in risky and exciting activities.

A person can be adventurous or an experience or a day trip can be adventurous.

We use the word sightseeing, which describes the activity when you walk around looking at famous buildings and monuments.

And that's it for this episode of Real Easy English.
