through to the departure lounge. Soon we were ____ (13) the plane, and looking forward to
our week on an island in the sun. I had a window seat, but since I was directly above

She found me one nearer the front of the plane, and later on I had a wonderful ____ (16)

new airport. Half an hour after we landed, we ____ (18) the train for the centre of Athens,
where we ____ (19) trains for the port of Piraeus. It wasn’t long before we were on
