Hi everyone! Today I want to tell you a funny and interesting event that I experienced last year. Last year, we decided to go on a boat tour with our guide as a group. Our dream was to travel to many countries and it would take a little long time.

Everyone had taken many things with them and was ready. But don't mind what I call the boat, it was pretty big and beautiful because we were 10 people. HAH! It has come to my mind now it is not boat it is a yacht. When we first got on, everyone placed their belongings and clothes in their room. My room was very beautiful and big. Since our route was very long, everyone had brought board games in order to have a good time during the trip. During the journey we played these games, chatted and as our guide approached our destination, she was telling us about interesting and different things. We spent 4 days in every country we visited and we have seen and learned lots of interesting thing. One day when I opened my eyes first I saw the sky and I had a terrible headache and I was also very cold. When I looked around, I heard a lot of people calling me and I was lying wet by the sea. While people were saying something to me I was thinking "Where am I? Who are these people? Why I am wet?" Many questions arose in my mind then I started to think yesterday. Yes, while chatting with my friends last night the weather suddenly changed and there was a violent storm and the yacht started to shake. But I couldn't remember what happened after that, I think the yacht had sunk and we fell into the water. I must had been dragged up here. I suddenly stood up and came to myself. People were telling me something, but I couldn't understand what they were saying. I tried to talk to them in English, but I guess they didn't speak English because they didn't say anything to me and they looked like they didn't understand anything. I didn't know what to do and I was afraid. When I showed them the "I am fine, okay??"sign with my hand, they understood. I wished to get away from them quickly. Then I thought to myself "why did I go away I don't know where I am already? How can I find my friends?" While I was thinking these my phone came to my mind.  My trousers’ pocket was zippered so I thought it didn't fall off and I put my hand in my pocket, hoping my phone will be there. Yes, my phone was there but it was very wet and it didn't work. I thought of asking other people, but I didn't know their language and they didn't know mine, too and I was a little embarrassed to ask something. I decided to move on, hoping I'd find a phone booth but I was a little scared that I would lost my way. My clothes had already dried out of heat over time. I was also looking around while looking for a telephone booth. The houses were colourful and beautiful, and there were flowers everywhere but I still didn't know where I was. Maybe this place could be on our route, but as I said, our guide was giving us information about the places we went to, and that's why we didn't have any information about the place we would go. When I was walking, someone hit me and I got worried very much. I felt like a little kid who got out of the house and got lost. I think the woman apologized to me and I smiled with an anxious expression as if saying "there isn't a problem" but I knew that I can't get anywhere like this and that I had to find a solution to this. Later, I saw a phone booth but I forgot that, it took money to use it. Then, with a momentary decision, I stopped a woman and tried to explain what I wanted by showing my phone and she gave it to me. I called the numbers I knew from the people in our group, but they all said "the number you called cannot be reached".  When I turned around, I suddenly saw my friends and immediately ran towards them. They got shocked when they saw me. They had dragged up the other way and later found each other. They had been trying to reach me since the morning. I became very happy when I saw them and then I told them everything. After that our guide told us we were in Ireland and there are very few people here who speak English, so I could not communicate with people. We toured around Ireland and our guide gave us information about this place. The main problem was that our yacht and belongings were lost and our phones were broken. It took us almost 1 year to meet their money. Anyway, we could call a few people that day and they sent us money. We returned by plane. This yacht tour did not pass as we expected. After this, I shudder whenever I see a yacht.
