Millions of people in the world spend their holidays travelling. Luckily, there are many companies today, which can organize your tour and leisure time whenever or wherever you like.
As for me, I am curious to know more about new places and countries, to explore their sights and to learn about other people’s culture. Most of all, I’m interested in English-speaking countries.
Last year, my parents decided to arrange a tour to Great Britain for me. It was supposed to include two teachers and ten children. I can’t tell you how happy I was. It was during autumn holidays and I was planning to stay for a week. The only problem was weather. At this time of the year Britain is rainy and humid. Although, compared to the great time I was going to have there, it was nothing. So I packed my bags and prepared for the voyage.
We arrived to London by plane. At the airport we were greeted by our host families. I was going to stay at my penfriend’s place in a village not far from Bristol. The view there was breathtaking. It was a small settlement with a number of neat houses and several farmyards. There were some stores and a pub. When we wanted to experience city rush, we drove to Bristol. I liked this city. It was full of light, spacious stores, various restaurants, malls with cinema theatres, cute bridges and castles. There was even an adventure park for kids in Bristol surroundings, which we visited on the third day of our stay.
We spent a day in London. I should say I fell in love with this city once I saw it. Our friends showed us around. We managed to visit the Museum of Madame Tussauds, the Trafalgar Square, the Westminster Abbey. In the evening we went to the Piccadilly Circus, which seemed even more beautiful than on pictures. It’s a pity we didn’t stay there longer, because there is much more to see in London. When I returned home, I was full of positive emotions. If I get a chance I will visit this country again!
Удачи!)
