Holidays
a
We went to Cairo, Egypt last year with my family. We
had a fantastic time. Cairo is over 4000 years old and there a many attractions
to see. First we visited the Egyptian museum and learned a lot about ancient
Egyptian culture. Then we went to the Pyramids and the Sphinx. The Pyramid of
Giza is 4500 years old and is 139 meters tall. It used to be even taller
standing at 146 metres! We also took a ride on camels. The Cairo market is very
exciting. There are so many people trying to sell you things. My brother was
shopping all day long when we went.
b
My family and I wanted to be outdoors. We didn’t feel
like running around visiting museums and other attractions all day long. That’s
why we went to the Pyrenees Mountains in France for a walking holiday. There
are different walking programmes to choose from. Some are very difficult and
some are easier. We walked through the mountains for one week. We saw forests,
flowers, wild life and bridges. We would spend our nights in hotels in
different villages. We had a guide with us and she made sure that we didn’t get
lost. She also told us about the local history of the area.
c
We took a trip to Berlin for our Christmas holiday. Berlin
is the capital of Germany and it is an amazing city! There are beautiful
buildings, parks and many other attractions to see. The hotel we checked into
was near Alexanderplatz and there were many cafés, restaurants and clubs we
could go to. We visited the Dahlem Museum complex and saw many works of art
from all over the world. For New Year’s Eve we went to the Brandenburg Gate and
celebrated with many people. We had a lot of fun and one day I want to go
again!
d
Last summer we went to my mother’s village Gerolimenas
in Mani. We stayed there for one month and relaxed. We go every summer and have
a lot of fun. I have many friends there and am very happy to see them. We have
a place to stay and we don’t have to worry about checking in, checking out,
passports, waiting at taxi ranks or missing our flight. The weather is always
sunny and we swim every day. Every evening we go out with our friends and walk
around the harbour. The only thing I don’t like about going is coming back to
Athens when school starts!
