Two years ago I (go) to India for my holidays. I (decide) to fly because it is much quicker than going overland. On the morning I (leave) London, It (rain), but when I (step) off the plane in India, it was a beautiful day. The sun (shine) and a cool wind (blow) from the sea. I (take) a taxi to my hotel. As I (sign) the register, someone (tap) me on the shoulder. I (turn) round. It was a friend I hadn't seen for ten years. He (stay) at the same hotel. That evening we (go) for a walk. The town was still very busy. Street traders (sell) souvenirs, and the foreign tourists (try) to bring down the price with the aid of an Indian phrase book. We (listen) to their chatter for a while, then we (return) to our hotel.
