Once I got lost during the walking tour of Z City. Several years ago I spent my summer vacation in X. We lived in Y city and almost every day had one-day bus trips to different places.

One day we went to Z city, and had a walking tour of the city. At first, everything was ok. But at some point, the guide started walking faster, and suddenly I realized I had lagged behind the rest of the group.

To my regret, my phone had died, so I could neither call the guide or use Google Maps. Then I decided to ask some passers-by for directions, but they were tourists, just like me. They just shrugged their shoulders and apologized for not being able to help me. After that I decided to retrace my way, but it appeared to be more difficult than it seemed as there were many winding and narrow streets which looked exactly the same. So I ended up walking round in circles. I had no idea how to get back to the bus.

When I understood that I wouldn't be able to show up at the meeting point on time, I grabbed a taxi and asked the driver to take me to the meeting point.
