Last January, my boyfriend and I were returning from our skiing holiday in Switzerland. We were on a train to Geneva. Suddenly the train stopped in the middle of a snowy field. A few minutes later a conductor came and explained the train was stuck in the snow. We all got off and walked through deep snow to a nearby village, where we were put in a school building. Some friendly people immediately brought us hot coffee and food. After that we slept in the classrooms. Meanwhile, a snow plough arrived and dug out our train. Eventually we got on the train again and arrived in Geneva the next day. Unfortunately, we'd missed our flight home. At first, the airline wanted us to pay the full price of a new ticket. Fortunately, we managed to persuade them that the situation was special and in the end they put us on the next flight at no extra charge. Finally, we arrived home a day later, exhausted but amused by our adventure.
