A Memorable Holiday by Peter Galanakis

My holiday to Morocco

2016-10-07 11:02:29 UTC

Last August was the best month of the year for my husband, my children and me. We visited Morocco where all my family live. We stayed at my mother's house for one week and then we moved to a beach house. We stayed there for the rest of the holiday. We woke up very early to walk on the beach and swim. It was a very special time.
I enjoyed watching my kids play in the sand, run around the beach and build sand castles. We swam together splashing water at each other. At night, my mum looked after our children so my husband and I could spend time alone.
We spent the evening in a restaurant on the beach listening to Moroccan music and enjoying some delicious Moroccan cuisine.

Below is a picture of my daughter enjoying playing with the sand:

Spanish Holiday

petergala — 2016-10-07 11:12:33 UTC

Last summer was very magical. I went to Menorca. It’s a beautiful island in the Mediterranean. I was so hurried and excited to leave France and to begin holidays. My family and I looked at splendid pictures of this island before we left.

We traveled by car and we took a boat to cross the sea near Barcelona. The boat floated on this blue sea but there were no waves.

One time over there, we settled in the house and we discovered the wonderful sea view. We lived here for two magical weeks. There was a big swimming pool in the garden and I think that is important when you are in a hot place.

The landscape was extraordinary but we didn’t have time to enjoy it. We were in the swimming pool or on the beach all the time.

We made a lot of friends because at night, we always went to the same bar to drink some cocktails and to meet people.

And it was great because we had nothing to do. No homework, no meetings, we were just together.

I was lucky to discover this island. I would like to discover new countries because I love meeting people and learning about cultures.

Next year, I probably will go to Greece. And it’s a real pleasure to leave with my family because there is a charming atmosphere.

Holiday in Nepal

2016-10-07 11:33:19 UTC

Last summer holiday I went to Nepal for 2 months and I traveled by plane. The flight was more than 12 hours. After that I landed in Tribhuwan airport Kathmandu. I was very happy because that is my hometown. My family lived in city of Kathmandu. First I met my family. They were very happy when they saw me. We got together with my family. One day we went to Rodhi Club. There was singing and we danced. We ate nice Nepali food and we enjoyed a lot of it. It was my first memorable night. After that we went to visit for Pokhara. It was out of the valley from Kathmandu. It took 20 minutes by plane. Pokhara was a beautiful place. I saw lots of Himalayan and ancient temples. We ate yak meat. It was very tasty and I met my best friends and took photos on my phone. We spent a week in Pokhara. After that we returned to Kathmandu. Most of the time I stayed with my family and after that I was ready to come back in London.

A Memorable Holiday

My last holiday was last summer. My best friends and I went to Barcelona. We drove for around 7-8 hours. I found this city very beautiful. There were lots of amazing monuments. I saw the Guell park , Gaudi's house and nice architecture.

During the day, we walked for a long time in the street to visit some more things.
At night it was a different life because my friends and I went to the club to dance. We went home at around 5AM so in the morning we were tired. However, we tried to sleep just a little bit to enjoy this incredible city.
While we were not visiting monuments, we swam in the sea with a buoy or we played with a ball on the beach.

One night someone invited us to a boat party. It was a great night because the decor was wonderful and the people were super nice.
I couldn't forget this holiday because it was really fun.

Holiday in Berlin

Last year Domenico and I went to Berlin with our friends for one week. We took the flight to Fiumicino Airport in Rome. It was January and it was very cold but it was an amazing holiday. On the first day we arrived in the afternoon. We went to the hotel and after that we took a short walk. In the days after, we visited the city. We saw the Brandenburg gate, the Reichstag's palace, the museum Island which is a small island on the river. Later, we saw pieces of the Berlin Wall and the check point Charlie - the border between the east and west of the city. The most important street is called Alexanderplatz, a long street full of beautiful shops where there is the TV tower where we got to look at the view of the city. We ate delicious typical local food. We tried different food every day. This holiday was very nice because Berlin is a very modern and beautiful city and it was very fun with our friends. For our next holidays I hope that we will go to the Maldives because I love the sea and the summer.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas

petergala — 2016-10-07 12:20:09 UTC

Last year, I went to Las Vegas with my wife. I remember many lights and the people played with the slot machines mornings, afternoons and nights. It was very hot and I spent much time in the hotel because I didn’t like the heat. Las Vegas is very hot for me. My wife liked to go to the shops but I preferred to stay in the hotel. Our hotel was very big and there was everything - restaurants, shops, games and a theater. On one of the days, Sir Elton John sang . The ticket was expensive and so I couldn’t see him. Now I know that my next trip will never be in a hot country or city.

My Travels in Galicia

petergala — 2016-10-07 12:33:47 UTC

My best holidays were last summer when my friends and I traveled through all of Galicia. For two weeks in August, we went sight-seeing around all the small paradises of this place and enjoyed all of the traditional parties.

We started our adventure on Cíes Island. It's a Spanish paradise. Here, there isn't any pollution. This island has a camping area and we met a lot of people from different countries. Before that, we went to Villagarcía because once a year, they have a water festival. It was amazing. The festival is on the beach, it has DJs, drinks, a lot of people, shows, and water too! The fun was guaranteed!

Later, we stayed in Ribadeo for a few days, because at the weekend, Ribadeo has a Ribeiro's party. And we finished our little adventure in Ribadavia with a History party. The people dressed up and you could camp and taste traditional food. It was very funny (or fun???). But in the middle of going from party to party we saw new places, we visited beaches, waterfalls and a lot of cities and villages.

This was one of my best holidays because it was cheap, funny (or fun??) and I stayed with all my bests friends.

MY AMAZING HOLIDAY TO CUBA 🇨🇺 🌴

mimito0 — 2018-02-06 17:04:15 UTC

In November 2016 my family and I went to Cuba for two weeks. Our flight was 10 hours. When we arrived there the weather was vary sunny. At the airport we met our smiling guides. They took us to our hotel in Havan. It was a big building with an incredible view of Havana. There was a swimming pool and cocktail bar on the roof. In Havana we went Hemingway’s house, rode by old Americans cars on the Malecon road, watched incredible Tropicana’s show, we went to the “Revolution Square” and the memorials of Jose Marti. We also went to traditional restaurants and tryed traditional Cuban food. So our first week in Havana passed away. So took time to headed to our next destination Varadero. We traveled around two hours from Havana to Varadero. On the way we crossed the highest bridge with the most beautiful and indescribable view I have ever seen. When we arrived at the hotel we were greeted with music and cocktails suggested by beautiful Cuban women with red flowers in their hair. We stayed at the hotel and the first thing we wanted to see was the crystal clear, blue, warm sea. On the next day we swam with the dolphins, dived to see the coral reef, drove with a catamaran, walked to America Plaza (a big shopping centre), went to Cayo Blanco island there we had a wonderful lunch in the beach restaurant. Every evening we spend a very fun time in the hotel with amazing dancers and artists. The last day of this wonderful holiday came. With weeping eyes we left the “Island of dreams”. We came back loaded with positive energy and glow in the eyes.

BACK AND FORTH

2018-02-07 11:28:19 UTC

I travelled to London last summer to see my brothers-in-law and spend a few days. 
We traveled with my daughter and my partner. 
My daughter asked me all kinds of things at the airport but I was the second time that I was travelling by plane and I was more lost than she was. “By the way, my daughter is five years old. 
We managed to pass the controls and finally got on the plane. 
We arrived safely and we took a bus that would take us to the house. 
We had some fantastic days, we visited more or less the most important thing in London. We even had an ocasional disaster when my daughter fell into a kind of fountain and we had to strip her naked and buy clothes in a store ( but I laughed a lot of about her)
A few days later we returned to Madrid and as we had left wanting more, here we are. We packed our bagd and we came to the adventure. To be continued
