Comments : These vacations were and always be one of my best vacations and childhood memories.The staff could expand the sanitary building , that is made of concrete, because it is so small and cramped. If I look back I know I should have done more in my vacations there. I have been there countless times so I am quite familliar with the surroundings. You can do so many things there like swimming in the sea, walking (around the campsite ) on the beach or on the dunes. You need to follow the trails alongside the dunes and then when you reached the top desend it. If you are bored you always can come to the cantine, it is open from 9 till 8, it is monitored 24/7 by CCTV Camera's. You can play bingo and win real prizes or you can play in the playgarden outside. You can participate and accomplish quests as well.

A downside there is no coatguard. Children are advsed not to swim to far out to sea. If you want to camp at the campsite there are a few necessities like a sleeping bag a tent, a mat or you can camp in a cabin. If you really want to camp you can buy or hire a tent or trailer . It really is beautiful with all the peace and quiet, where you dont need to think about all your problems or things at home.

But all of it combined they were some pretty good vacations.

I went to Turkey last summer. My expectations were right. The destination was far but it was an amazing vacation. It was amazing to see how the staff treated me respectfully and they were very kind. Our guide should have informed us better about the hotel room because it was too small but we didn't worry about it too much. It's not the end of the world. It was cramped alongside my mother and brother in one room. Due to the weather we did a lot of things. Like mount climbing. That was an anxiety for my mother. She is afraid of hights. It made her feel nauseous but steadily she got accustomed to the hight. It was a tremendous vacation. Our target is to prosecute this vacation next year but on another destination.

Comments: At first I did not know a single thing about Tenerife, but after a flight of one hour and 30 minutes we finally arrived at Tenerife. I was looking out of the window and I was astonished, the only thing I saw were palm trees. It's impossible to not like Tenerife, and if there are palm trees, we might be able to see Dolpins. After that we finally arived at our hotel, and it was one of the best hotels I've ever seen in my entire life. It was very clean inside and the internet was very fast. The hotel even had a swimming pool and a tennis court. I thought it couldn't get better but at the next day we went to a water park and it was awesome! And if you don't like water parks, for all you animal lovers there even is a zoo. My dad couldn't have prepared this holiday better!

I went to Marocco alongside my mother, her boyfriend and my little sister. We slept in a hotel in Agadir. The hotel looked familiar but it was the first time I went there. Agadir is a sort of city and it's very touristic. The hotel was great but there were a few things that the staff of the hotel could change. Like serving more European food. We went on a quest to find a restaurant. Eventually we found one. So we accomplished our quest. We also went on a (approximately ) three-day trip with a guide that was a lot of fun. But our guide should have prepared the trip better and he could've brought a map. We even had a lack of water. If you would like to go to Marocco. There are a few things I noticed you need to know. Tourist are advised not to travel alone and hike at night. In Marocco it's possible to go climbing maybe you could climb to the summit of the Atlas. My holiday was great and felt like a dream but it was life-like!

This year I went to Croatia. When we got there we had a little house a 100 feet from the sea. It was preety hot there so we were glad we had good airconditioning. There were a lot of activities to do around the campsite. We went to a view of those things like : at the sea in Zadar. There was this music thing that makes music by the waves of the sea it. Was really cool. We also went mountainclimbing in the Starigrad Plakenica National Park. at the top of the mountain was a very nice stalactite cave. Two days later we went to the KRKA waterfalls. The waterfalls were enormeous. The day after that we went to the Plitvice lakes. There were the most blue and clear lakes i've ever seen. We went almost every night to this restaurant 500 feet from the campsite. There were very nice people and they had very cute cats. All the days we didn't go tho one of those activities we went to the sea wich was also very clear blue. We went snorkeling in the sea and on the last day we also went jetskiing. That was so much fun. At the campsite there was also a swimming pool and almost every evening there was like some kind of swimmingpool disco. I really recommend this vacation spot.

Comments: After a long delay for about eight hours, we arrived at the hotel. The trip was horrible, but the hotel was great. We had an amazing view on a small town. The room was great as well. It wasn't a cramped room. The room was at the 14th floor. That was approximately at the top of the hotel. Due to the hot weather, we weren't able to do that much. There were numerous of towns. The staff was great. They need to stay how they are. The only bad thing were the shows. They were boring. Sometimes even dreadful. We thought that the trail we needed to take wasn't long. But it was. Our guide should've informed us better about that. But we' ve got accustomed to it. The sea was tremendous. You could raft and swim. According to our guide, there were sharks. In the sea, you could get lost very quickly. That's why we needed to bring a map. It was just amazing.

On our way there was an accident. They should have called an ambulance. Those people from the accident needed aid! When we arrived in Italy we saw that is was very beautiful. We will be able to cook on a campfire and we might be able to see a great white shark. There was also a lake. Swimming in this lake was strictly forbidden. In Italy there was a nature reserve. This nature reserve is safeguarded by police. In Italy we went to raft down a river on rough water. With some support we went to go rafting. But there was also hazard! Our guide should have informed us better about the dangers. It is a stunning that it all went really good. We were on a place that is known for its remoteness. We also did a quest. Our biggest fear was that we will encounter a bear. But we didn´t notice one! My holiday was a special one. I will never forget it.

Comments : In 2014 I went to Italy. I was there alongside my family, cousins and nephews. It was very nice to be there and we didn't went to a camping but we hired a villa. It included a swimming pool and a very big garden. The villa was standing on a ridge and from the house you could walk to the summit. We did a quest to find a nice village. But we only found a glacier snow capped. The view from the mountain was tremendous. It was very dreadful to go to bed, because it was very nice to be there. It was a very nice experience to be there and we had a great time, you should go there.

In 2014 I were in Turkey on holiday. I went to the place Icmeler with my mother, sister and my step father. First of all it was very hot with temperatures above 30 degrees. Because it was that hot, sleeping was dreadful. Also we went swimming every day. There was a pool in the hotel so we swam there a lot. But sometimes we went to the beach to swim in the sea. The beach was near so it was easy to go there by feet. Then the food, it was very delicious. Most of the time I ate french fries with a burger. We also did some excursions like a boat trip and see turtles swimming. When we were on a boat trip I were nauseous. Then the hotel, it was very clean and hygienic. There were also numerous things to do for kids.

It was a nice vacation.

We looked up the reviews on the Internet. It seemed to be a very good camping. In reality it wasn't! When we arrived at the camping, which was remoteness, we saw that the reception was closed and we had to go to a part of the restaurant were we could find someone who could help us further. After that, we moved to our camping place. We stood next to the toilets and showers. All of the toilets and showers were moldy. It was so horrible! Even tourists were advised not to travel at night, because some animals could tend to attack people and a hunter tried to kill the game. So at night, we couldn't go to the toilet, while we were right next to them. At day, we were advised not to leave the trails. Because of this, everyone felt extremely anxiety. After a day or so, when wanted to go on a city trip. But the expedition leader could have brought a map! So we were lost in the city. We needed relief!!! But, we might be able to find the way trough navigation. Happily we were! Eventually, we found the way back to the camp side. Safe and sound we arrived. We had booked for a week, but we stayed four days. It was a gruesome vacation! I wouldn't recommend this camp side.

comment: For decade we've been coming there. By "we" I mean alongside my mother, father and little sister. When we descended the mountain, we saw a beautiful house on the summit of the mountain. When we climbed the slope we saw the view. It was perfect. One disadvantage was the remoteness from the city. My anxiety was that there was nothing to do for me. But it was possible to ride horses. I thought I might be able to ride horses with my sister. She loves horse riding.

The manage was a quater biking. We might be able to find the way through navigation. The horse riding by the way was fun. After the horse riding we could do with a hot meal . So we went to the house. In the house almost everything was perfect. The furniture looked very modern. The target of the vacation was that we should do more with our family. That target we accomplish.

It was a great vacation!!!

The aqua park was amazing with lots of waterslides. but swimming in the rafting-river was strictly forbidden. there were lots of things to do at the beach and people were able to dive to 300 feet and it was also possible to swim among sharks. me and my dad made a ride on a banana. if I could do a do over I should defintely choose this one.

Comments: My fist flight was on this vacation. And it was amazing! I saw so musch things. When we came at the hotel I was surprised. It was so beautiful! the hotel room, the swimmingpool.... Everything. I never went to a place like this. But the only problem was: I wasn't familiar with everything. So it was a kind a quest for me. But I got accustomed to it. But alongside the beautiful area and hotel and stuff, not everything was perfect. My aunt had to go to the hospital. And that day there was a anxiety in me. But I was only 6 so than there is a bigger change for that. Happily ever after, everything went alright. During the vacation we went to numerous places and we did numerous things. It allo was so beautiful. We went to bazars, on a boat trip and so much more things. At the boattrip I new it was possible to dive there and find sea urchins. They are amazing. And then it was the time that Romy needed attantion, haha. Yes, I felt. With my head against an chair. It was possible that I was out of awarness. Because I couldn't remember a thing. I know I was nauseous and my head started to pound. I went to the doctor and he tied up my cut. So it al went right. After that we swam. We walked and did so many more things. Especially beautiful thing. But I sure know that I should have whatched the site from the hotel. And that I shouldn't have run near the swimmingpool. But it was a very nice vacation. And I sure want to go back with my family again!

comments: it was really nice. I went to Kreta in the summer of 2014. I've been there for 8 days with my brother mother and father. We went there with an airplane. We could do with a hot meal because it was a long flight. I sat in the plane next to a fat man and he smells like a skunk. When we are landed the organisation should have prepared the trip better because we walked a mile to our bus. We walked through a nature reserve. This nature reserve is protected by police. When we arrived by the bus we go to our hotel. The hotel was next to a lake. Swimming in this lake is strictly forbidden because there swim sharks in it. Trespassers will be reported to the police. We went to a expedition. the expedition leader could have brought a map because we where lost. The bus driver shriek to aid. A lot of hikers came to help us but they rip the busdrivers head of. After an hour we where accustomed to the fact that somebody was killed but somebody was nauseous through the smell of the body. We can't go home with the bus. We raft to our hotel. When we arrived there was a predator in the hotel and somebody has been sacrificed the predator eat the hole body while the predator was eating we run to a plane and fly to europe and everyone lived happily ever after.

The hole trip was very interesting and i've lern a lot.

Comments: I went to Iceland in the summer of 2014, I've been there for two weeks alongside my mother, brother and grandparents. We went there with the airplane, when we were almost flying above te land, the plane needs to decend to the airport. At the ground we can go out of the plane, but then my brother was gone. We can't find him anywhere, later we saw he was already out the plane. He shouldn't have left without telling anyone. When we're all assamble at the toilets, we went to our car. We rent a car at Sixt, it was a really beautiful car. But it takes really long to pay for the car, those guys should have prepared there organisation better. After all we went to our bungelow and relaxed for a while. From or bungelow to the big road there was a really long and soft trail. The two weeks were really nice but I can't tell everything. The best of all were all kind of waterfalls. Some were small but strong, the other one was really big but not strong. To our greatest sorrow swimming in this lake below the waterfalls was strictly forbidden. It was dreadful because it looks really nice and cool. 

We also raft down a river on rough water, I think I never shriek so hard. My mother had a little bit anxiety but she also think it was really fun. After all the fun we could do with a hot meal.

The whole trip was really nice and if it was possible i'll stay there for a decade. The only downside was the food, it was gruesome. All the food was fish and I really hate fish! Bleh!

We left at 7 a.m. headed to Germany. we stayed there for one night at a hotel. The hotel was at the Donau.I wanted to fish there but there was a man he said "you can't fish here " he told me I needed a fishing card. I should have called my father but I didn't so I left. I went to our hotel room. Later we went for dinner at an Italian restaurant, it was monitored by cctv camera's 24 hours a day. There were a lot of pizza's on the menu . I choose one I'v never eaten before I shouldn't have done that . We went back to the hotel and we went to sleep. The next day we left early headed to Wenen. When we got there, there were a lot of Dutch people. On the first day we went swimming in a big lake, on the second day went to Wenen. When we were there we visited all kind of old buildings and we went to the Spanish horse riding show and on the last day we went to Budapest. There were many old houses with a lot of history. Budapest is split by a river so you have two sides east and west. On our campingside was by a river at the Donau. I fish there every evening I catch carps, pikes an a lot of other fishes and there were many other fishers on the campingside they catch very big fishes one of the fishers catched a carp of approximately 16 kg. On the last evening there was karaoke it was very funny. The next day we went to Prague in a five star hotel. We got a bracelet and with this bracelet we got to go to the swimming pool, it was very nice. There were a lot of waterslides and in the swimming pool was an aquarium with a lot of tropical fishes when we went to the city Prague we went with the underground there was a big clock and there were a lot of people who made fotos of the clock. It was a beautiful clock made of gold and every hour there was a show with music.

comments: In the autumnbreak, me and my family went to Barcelona and it was the best vacation we've ever had! We travelled by airplane. When we arrived at the airport, a taxi driver drove us to our hotel. When we arrived at the hotel, there was a guard like person who was safeguarding the hotel who told us that we had to wait for the boss of the hotel because she had the keys. The boss of the hotel shouldn't have let us wait for that long, according to the guard like person we had to wait for 20 minutes, but we approximately waited for 40 minutes so our respond was quite angry and we were tend to leave without having the keys because we had a rush because we had plans to go to a soccer match of FC Barcelona so our target was to arrive on time. after all the boss finally brought us the keys and our taxt driver drove us to Camp Nou (the soccer stadium of FC Barcelona). we drove on a very nice trail right through the city, we drove very fast but the taxt driver was accustomed to drive that fast, a few minutes later we saw a very beautiful stadium beyond a big tower. When we sat in the taxi our taxi driver told us that we might not be able to be at the stadion before the match started so after all we were 6 minutes too late but it was still amazing! The 2 days after it we also went to Camp Nou and to La Rambla. Me and my family also saw a very beautiful nature reserve. The only thing that we didn't like about this vacation was that the organisation of the hotel let us wait for that long so they could have told us about waiting for the keys by example telling on the website that tourists are advised to call the boss for the keys before they arrive at the hotel. But overall, the hotel had a very beautiful view and it was the best vacation we've ever had!

On 19 June we went to France in our car. I love to travel by raft but we went with our car. It was tremendous to travel to France because the nature is very cool. We descended the mountains very low because it is very dangerous when you do it fast.

At night we arrived at the hotel. It was stunning! The spacious room was amazing. At 1 A.M. we went to bed, I was very tired. On the 20th of June we went to the city and it was very warm and there was a lack of water and I was very dizzy. In the middle of the city stood a sign with the text "this nature reserve is protected by the police", it was very strange. My dad said that he saw in the city a mountaineer. I was wondering about that (it was a strange city).

Approximately 2 hours later we went to a restaurant due to our hunger we shouldn't have done that because it was very dirty!!!! ( they should have called an ambulance so dirty was it) I won't be able to eat in a restaurant anymore. 

On Saturday we arrived save and sound at home.

It was stunning!!

When we came to the car business my father went to the counter and asked for a car with seven seats. We got a very big car. We travelled to nature reserve Deathvalley. It was really hot there. It was 50 celsius degree.

We also hiked in Deathvalley. The hikers warned us not to leave the trails. My father could have brought a map so we would have known all the risk. There were a lot of slopes. When we finished hiking we drove to Las Vegas, but it was a quest to find the way. On our way to Las Vegas we had a lack of water. While we were driving I was dreadfully nauseous.

We arrived in the famous Las Vegas. Las Vegas was stunning. After Las Vegas we drove to Yellow Stone where extinction threathened the bisons, but now they are there in numerous amounts.

With much of effort we were come there, there were much of files but we were accustomed to that. The staff must make the row for the counter shorter because it´s very hot and you´re very tired when you arrive. You must go on a banana boat because it´s very nice and they were able to give clear instructions. Every day we have swam in the beautiful lake. It´s very stunning that the water is always very hot. The were only lack of sand strands. You are advised to bring chairs because sitting on the stones is very hard to endure. There are much of nice places there for example Sirmione. On a slope is a very nice castle. You can go to the summit, but it isn´t layer. It´s very heroic if you climb to the summit. This holiday was a amazing experience! (183 words)

Comments: My holiday on Kos was great, I loved it. I went alongside my mother for 8 days in an extra holiday during Pentecost. It was the first time I went to a foreign country. Kos is a little island between Greece and Turkey. It's a lovely place. We arrived at our appartment at an hour of 1:30 at night. When we loaded out our our stuff, the first thing I did was run in to the sea and jump in the water, then when I went out my mom and I went for a dinner, it was delicious. Every night we went there for a dinner, lovely it was. On the third day we went on a boattrip with Mario. Mario is the owner of the boat and he was very nice and cosy. During the trip it was possible to swim among dolphins and we might be able to see a great white shark. There were also divers that were able to dive to 300 feet, but they couldn't go more down due to a lack of oxygen. The divers were also able to give clear instructions.

In town there were also shops that sold very very delicious smalls, icecream and smalls. The last evening we went, just like every evening to the restaurant of Fotis, but it was a bit emotional because it was probably the last time I would see them. The next day we had to get up early because we were getting picked up by a taxi that would bring us the the airport of Kos. 6 hours later we came back home safe and sound.

Our target was to have a very nice holiday and it was tremendous

It was the nicest holiday I've ever had and also according to my mom!

While we were driving, I felt dreadfully nauseous. When we arrived at the hotel, we were advised to hike. We could have brought a map with us, because we didn't know all the risks. We had seen al lot of glaciers, but there weren't a lot of people there. It was very scary and it was gruesome. Eventually, we descended down the slopes. It was a real hazard, because there are a lot of rapids. So in conclusion my vacation was terryfing.
