Translation of Parabel

Two weeks ago I met a girl from Indiana and she told me that she was really sorry but that she would have no knowledge about Europe, Africa or Asia and that it was only due to lack of information on TV.
I went back to the busterminal and dressed for the ride. That means I put on long pants and my hiking boots. Friends have warned me about freezing conditions during bus rides because of airconditioning.
On the next day we took the tour to see the Peninsula. The tour itself was very boring and the guide had really not much to say that would interest me. The area was barren and completely flat.
