I walked out of the hotel. It was still before eight. The sun was shining hard on plaza. I had to put my sunglasses on. A taxi was waiting at the curb on the other side of the street. I looked around and straightened my tie. Then I turned around and quickly walked back into the hotel lobby.

Wyszedłem z hotelu. Było jeszcze przed ósmą. Słońce na placu mocno przypiekało. Musiałem włożyć ciemne okulary. Taksówka czekała po drugiej stronie ulicy, przy krawężniku. Rozglądnąłem się na wszystkie strony i poprawiłem krawat. Potem odwróciłem się i szybko wszedłem z powrotem do holu hotelowego.

Wyszedłem z hotelu. Nie było jeszcze ósmej, ale słońce na placu przypiekało już mocno, tak bardzo, że musiałem włożyć ciemne okulary. Po drugiej stronie ulicy, przy krawężniku, stała jakaś taksówka. Rozglądnąłem się na wszystkie strony i poprawiłem krawat a potem odwróciłem się i szybko wszedłem z powrotem do hotelu.
