We hired a taxi and reached Clifton. First we walked along the beach. A sweet breeze was blowing and we were happy. I and my friend Nadim enjoyed camel riding. Then we saw the famous aquarium of Clifton. There were fishes of different colours and my friends were very glad to see these fishes. Then we took our lunch. We had sweets, fruits, and many dishes. In the evening we returned home. In this way I spent my last Friday.
