It was a warm day with plenty of sunshine in early Spring when we set off for the capital excitedly to watch a Championships League match . As we were driving on the slope) rising or falling at a sharp angle ">steep slopes on our route, the warm weather, together with the sunshine, disappeared and suddenly it started to hail. The ice cubes were as big as cubes of sugar. We didn’t know what to do. It was getting worse and worse. We could hardly see the road. We took a deep breath when we saw a stopover on the right and took shelter in there. Before the hail started, we had already decided to have lunch at a restaurant nearby. However, while we were having lunch and expecting the hail to die down, it turned into snow. At first, we thought it wouldn’t last for a long time and enjoyed our drinks. Meanwhile, it got even heavier and two hours later, all the roads were completely covered with snow. Each snow flake caused us to lose our hopes of watching the match. We tried to keep each other moralized and hopeful despite the possibility of staying there overnight. Fortunately, it stopped and the sun appeared once more in the sky as soon as the snow stopped. Soon after this, it melted and we hit the road again. The fear was replaced by smiles on our faces. After we had driven for 2 more hours, finally, we arrived in Madrid and started to count down for the Championships League match that night. We strolled the city for a short time and then went into the stadium. We got involved in the exciting atmosphere of the stadium and when the match started, we had forgotten about all the difficulties on the road.
