Last Sunday my family and I went to zoo; we always go there at least once year. Before alarm clock went off, kids were already up and jumping in living room –they are never up on Monday mornings when they have to go to school. Anyway, we had breakfast very quickly and went out. It was sunny day, which was lucky because, obviously, we all love sunny days, and even more when we don't have to go to work.
We got into taxi and I told taxi driver where we were going. Everything was perfect. But very soon we realised that traffic was horrible that day. We immediately got stuck in traffic jam. We asked taxi driver if he knew what was happening, but he had no idea. Then, we heard on radio that there had been accident a few blocks ahead of us. We had run out of luck.
Eventually, after two hours in traffic and very expensive taxi fare, we were able to see animals.
