She got out a map and said A1 bus and it'll cost you 300 dinars. Luckily, a taxi driver approached me and offered to take me there for 22 euros. When we arrived, the driver apologised for the traffic jams.
My room was in a different part of the hotel and I had to climb five flights of stairs. Breakfast was completely different to an ordinary British one, as mine didn't believe in a fried breakfast (though I don't usually have one).
I did a bit of sightseeing before going to the stadium. One of the security guards told someone, in front of me, no liquids. So, I quickly threw away the water. The whole time it just rained on and off. After Kyle Edmund had won, I got the number seven tram back to the hotel.
The next day, it was raining again. As they were starting earlier, I decided to get the number seven tram to the stadium. But, a ticket inspector was on it. I told him I didn't understand what he was saying. He looked a bit funny and spoke in English, asking for my ticket. I told I didn't have one. He looked a bit frustrated, as he stood in front of me with a notepad. Three hundred dinar, he then said. I told him I didn't have it, only euros. He looked like he was getting fed up with me. He wrote something down and showed me that 300 dinars equalled 20 euros. So, I handed it over to him and he gave me a 200 dinar note back. He then asked me for my name and gave me a ticket. He then told me I could use it all day. When I arrived at the stadium, they weren't allowing bottles in and they took both of mine. I sat and watched Ward lose but cheered on Murray and Inglot as they won. I then got the tram back.
The next day, I did more sightseeing before going back to the hotel. As I was about to leave, the two housekeeping women turned up. I had to wait for them to finish before leaving, as I had to lock my room's door. I walked to the stadium, and as I walked round St Mark's church, I could hear all the British fans chanting. When I arrived, I was told I wasn't allowed to bring any food in. Luckily, they didn't look in the bag as I had a packet of sweets and they would have taken them. I had to wait for the change of ends before allowed in. I sat at the top and watched Kyle Edmund win the match. I then decided to hang around and watch Ward's match. I then got the tram back to the hotel.
The next morning, I took the taxi (which the receptionist ordered) back to the airport and he charged me only 14 euros. I found I was two hours too early for the check in, so I had to hang around. The flight then got delayed by twenty minutes. After landing in Warsaw, I found a large relaxation room where I could sleep as I was going to be spending the night there. The next morning, my flight to Heathrow got delayed by two hours so I missed my coach back to Exeter. I had to rebook it. But, even that coach got delayed as well. I didn't arrive back until 5.10pm (17.10pm).
