PN Directions

Excuse me, we’re lost. Can you tell me the way to King Street? Is it near here? Sorry, could you say that again, please? Thank you.

- King Street? Let me think a bit. Yes. Go straight on. Go past the church, and then turn left at the traffic lights. And then I think it’s the second on the right, opposite the pharmacy. You can’t miss it. Or you can take a bus, but it’s rather expensive. - Yes, it’s very close. - Yes, it’s near here, just around the corner! - You’re welcome!
