My holiday was perfect. From my balcony I saw crashing waves which lined the beach. I spent my days under the straw umbrellas, swimming in the blue sea and playing in the bright sun. The smell of suntan oil filled the air.
The forest was peaceful. There were tall green trees all around me. The only sounds I heard were the birds chirping on the trees and leaves rustling. The smell of wet soil filled the air.

Мой отдых был прекрасен. С моего балкона мне был открыт вид на разбивающиеся волны, омывающие пляж. Я провёл свои дни там под соломенными зонтами, купаясь в синем море и играя под ярким солнцем. В воздухе стоял аромат лосьона для загара.
Лес был спокойным. Там были высокие зелёные деревья, окружающие меня. Единственные звуки, которые я слышал, было щебетание птиц на деревьях и шелест листьев. Аромат влажной почвы наполнял воздух.

Novodevichy Convent
Year of inscription: 2004
Why it qualified: “The Novodevichy Convent, in south-western Moscow, built in the 16th and 17th centuries in the so-called Moscow Baroque style, was part of a chain of monastic ensembles that were integrated into the defence system of the city. The convent was directly associated with the political, cultural and religious history of Russia, and closely linked to the Moscow Kremlin. It was used by women of the Tsar’s family and the aristocracy. Members of the Tsar’s family and entourage were also buried in its cemetery. The convent provides an example of the highest accomplishments of Russian architecture with rich interiors and an important collection of paintings and artifacts.” – World Heritage Convention
