Lesson n.4: contract a travel package
Lezione n.4: contrattare un pacchetto viaggio

“Through lush mountains covered by tropical vegetation, mighty streams, ancient cities rich in history and legends like Port Royal, the ancient capital from which pirates of legendary Henry Morgan departed for their exploits plundering ships, ports, coastal towns , affecting mainly the Spanish interests with the support of the British. A full immersion in the heart of this magical island, guided and accompanied by Italian-speaking staff deeply rooted in the reality of the island”
These lines looked like the trailer for a Steven Spielberg movie.
“Strange” I thought “she did not mention rafting”.

“If only I had read this sheet before” I thought “I could have avoided buying gifts from my friends as I could arrange the souvenirs at the time of departure”.
At that precise moment, a man of about thirty approached me, wearing a white linen shirt from which he showed a more than a hairy chest and a blue shortsuit that showed a more than exaggerated size of bamboo.
