Recount Text 2

It was the first week of our vacation. Reno invited us to visit him at Villa Mutiara. Some sausages, prawn, and crabs. Reno provided the drinks and sauces.

We arrived at about six o’clock in the evening. Reno already had the barbecue pit already. Soon, we began unpacking the food we bought. The fire in the pit was strong and it did not take long before the food was burnt.

The chicken wings which were deep brown on the outside were actually quit raw on the inside. The sausages shrank into thin, scrawny looking thinks. The crabs looked incredible and the prawns looked like cockroaches. However, everyone felt that the food was great because we were really hungry.

I did not think any of us would like to have that sort of food on our dining table. But, I believed no one would refuse an invitation to the villa for the same experience again. It was great fun!

The waiters finally let us in for break first 8.25! We refused to pay for the food because we were so angry with the service. Finally, the waiter called for someone from the airline who listened to our story, apologized, and paid for our meals.
