There were trees on either side and I kept on running from one side of the train to another to count the number of monkeys that I could spot during the train ride.
It was an exhausting journey. We got to the hotel, picked up the room keys from the reception and went to sleep immediately as it was late at night and we had already had dinner.

mature. I felt mature because I could finally go out and do things on my
own and I was trusted to do ...
