Natural speed, British English, please.
My first trip abroad was to Greece. It was about five years ago, and I went with my wife. Before that, I needed to work a lot and we saved money. We were very excited because this was our first trip. When we arrived, we stayed in the hotel for 2 hours and then we went sightseeing. Then I met and old friend. In the end, we spent a lot of money, but we had a great opportunity to know a different place.
