Last night's train journey was terrible. It was the worst journey of my life

Read the text about Alex's hometown.
My town - Newquay
Newquay is a small town on the Atlantic coast in the south of England. It has got great beaches and is the best
place to surf in the United Kingdom. There are lots of surf schools where you can learn how to surf. I go surfing
with my friends every weekend.
I love Newquay because there are lots of other things to do as well as surfing. If you like water sports, you can go
kayaking, water-skiing or coasteering. Coasteering involves rock climbing, jumping into the sea and swimming in
the same activity. So, you should always go with a special
instructor
If you like animals you can also visit the Blue Reef Aquarium and see lots of different fish and even sharks. You
can also go horse riding on the beach or visit Newquay Zoo. There are lots of
other attractions too like mini golf and bowling.
Alex likes Newquay because he can go...
