We went to Kars for a winter holiday with my family and our friends. We stayed there for a week, and I improved my skiing skills. After the holiday, we decided to return by train. There was a popular train called the Eastern Express, which we also chose for our journey. The trip was going to take 24 hours, and I was really excited because we had prepared lots of activities to do.
When the day finally came, we packed up and went to the train station. Just after the train departed, we started decorating our compartment. We used colorful lights to create a nice ambiance, wore special accessories, and took lots of photos. While our parents were chatting, my friend and I played fun games. We ordered famous local foods from the cities along the route and tasted them at every stop.
In the evening, we grabbed our drinks and watched a movie together. We thought it would be hard to sleep on the train, but we actually slept very well. In the morning, we all met in one compartment and had breakfast together. After that, only a few hours remained until the end of the journey, so we packed our bags and chatted.
Although the trip took a bit longer than expected due to some technical problems, we never got bored and enjoyed it a lot.
