Last summer, I went to Barcelona. I went with two friends by car. We stayed in a hotel in the city centre. The first evening, we went out to dinner to an Italian restaurant. After that we went out to a disco, there I met a foreign man, he was very funny. We also visited many monuments. For example: The Sacred Family Cathedral, Gaudi´s house and others. The next day, we went to buy some souveniers for our family and friends. One day we went out to Port Aventure. It is a funfairtheme park, where there are many attractions. We enjoyed ourselves a lot. The next day, we went to a beach resort near Tarragona, there we sunbathed. One day we rented a boat and we went sailing. I was afraid, because I can´t swim. The next day my friend Gloria was ill, we went to a hospital. After that we came back home, I drove her car because, she couldn´t drive. HOLIDAYS Last summer I went to a golf and spa resort “Valle del Este” in Almería, Spain. I went with my wife, Teresa. We went by car and I drove too many hours and we were very tired when we arrived in Almeria. It was very hot but the hotel had a wonderful swimming pool. We needed to have a rest because we were stressed at work, and we only wanted to swim and sunbathe. We visited a typical villages in Almeria, Mojacar, Carboneras, Vera, etc. And we went sight seeing too. I took photographs all the time and Teresa went preferred to go shopping. It was a prefect holiday, and we could relax for 10 days. Last summer I went to Germany. I went with my husband and my eldest son. We went by plane from Santander to Frankfurt, there we rented a car. For three days we visited the idyllic medieval towns of Colonia, Rotenbourg, Dresden- high towers, heavy walls, old churches – . We made a great cruise along the Rhin. Then we stayed in Berlin for four days. In the morning we went sightseeing and at night we looked for traditional restaurants. The typical food is roast pork. We like drinking a good white wine or a big beer whit meals. The weather was variable; cloudy, rainy and also sunny. Berlin is a big city. It has got many modern buildings – for example the glass dome of the Parliament built by the British architect Norman Foster. It´s a great place to visit exhibitions of photography and painting. I think Berlin is a home of artist. My favourite holiday was last year. I went to Jamaica with my boyfriend. We went by plane in October. The trip was very long and hard. The seat was very small and unconfortable. We stayed in a hotel in Montego Bay. The hotel was very big and beautiful. There were three swimming-pools, big gardens, a disco, a gym and five restaurants. We met a lot of Spanish people at the hotel. It was very hot. We got up early in the morning because we went to an excursion. We visited a lot of beaches. The beaches were very nice in Jamaica. We went to a small safari. We saw birds, crocodiles… In the afternoon we went shopping. I bought rhum, t-shirts, pictures, towels, coffee and figures. We had dinner in the hotel. The food was very good. There was pizza, meat, fish, fruit, typical Jamaica´s food, ice-cream, etc… After that we went to the disco. We went to bed very late. We stayed in Jamaica for seven days. We came back to Spain by plane. We were sleeping all the trip. I loved Jamaica. I´m going to tell you about my best holiday. My best holiday was a trip to Nepal two years ago. I was with my wife and another couple of friends. The flight was very long we did a stopover in Doha after fourteen hours. Doha is the capital of Qatar, which is a little country in Persico Gulf, near Saudi Arabia. Doha is a new city with very big buildings near the Arabian sea. We were in Nepal for three weeks. Nepal is a country in the middle of Asia, between China and India. There are thirty million people, Spain is five times bigger than Nepal. We went trekking around the Annapurnas for twenty days. Everyday we got up at seven, after breakfast we walked for seven hours. We saw very nice landscape. Everyday we went up a mountain to a pass which was 5,000 meters high. The food was very simple, we had rice everyday, with chicken o vegetables, but we weren´t hungry although it was boring. Everynight we slept in very simple hotels, with one toilet for all the people, and what a toilet! The bed was a table with a leg. But the trip was very interesting. My name’s Javier. I am 52 years old. I am a doctor, I work with people with addiction. I am married and I have one son and two daughters. I’ m going to tell you about myself. I have short hair and a beard. I am tall although I am ten kilos overweight. In my free time, I do sport and I read. I read medicine books as well as novels or essays. Sport is very important for me, it is healthy and it is relaxing. I do sport everyday, cycling o swimming. MY LAST AND BEST HOLIDAYS I going to tell you about of my last holidays. Last September I went on holidays to Paris with my boyfriend. We stayed in a friend´s house 15 km from Paris. We went for a week. The flight was short. It was two hours from Asturias Airport to Challes de Gaulle Airport. During the two first days we had a good time and afterwards the weather was awful. It was cloudy, rainy and freezing. We went sightseeing all the time. We went to visit the Eiffel Tower, the Triump Arc, the Pantheon, the Sacre Coeur Basilica, Versalles Palace, Louvre Museum, D´Orsay Museum, Disneyland, etc. I enjoyed myself very much and I bought a lot o souvenirs for my family and for my friends too. Last September I went on holidays to Paris with my boyfriend. The last day the weather was awful. It was raining a lot and windy too. To return to my friend´s house we had to walk for ten minutes from the train station. Our umbrella was broken by wind the day before and it didn´t last any more. The umbrella got broken and quickly we had to stop at McDonalds halfway. We were soaked! Finally we decided to have dinner there. Unluckily we had to eat very fast because the restaurant was closing. Suddenly we were in the street and the weather got worse, and we started running towards home. When we arrived home we were completely soaked! We were very angry, very cold and sneezing. The next day we laughed about this adventure but we got a cold. It was horrible!! Last September I went on holidays to Paris with my boyfriend. The last day the weather was awful.

The next day we laughed about this adventure but we got a cold. It was horrible!! Last holiday Hello! I´m going to try to describe my last holiday. Last October I travelled to Praha and Budapest with my boyfriend and two friends, Juan and Eloisa. We were in Praha for four days and four days more in Budapest. Both cities are too far from Spain, so we went by plane. Praha is a beautiful place but its people are unfriendly. There we went to the Opera, took some photos of the old clock and the town Hall, we visited a few synagogues, the Jewish ghetto, the cathedral and San Carlos bridge. We stayed at an Italian apartment, where we ate almost everyday but we drank a lot of good beer in Praha´s pubs. The last day in Czech Republic we visited “ Terezin”, a Nazi concentration camp. There we felt pain in the air. It wasn´t nice but I liked visiting it. We shouldn´t forget what happened there. In Budapest there weren´t so many tourist as in Praha and the people were nice. We visited famous baths and bought typical food like “Paprika”. Last holiday Last year, I went with my husband to the Palma Island in the Canary Islands. We went in February for ten days. We flew from Santander to Madrid where we changed planes. It landed at Santa Cruz airport. That airport is surprising because the landing strip seems built on the sea at the foot of a big and black cliff. It took us nine hours, more or less, to go from Santander to Palma Island. We stayed in an apartment-hotel, eight kilometers far from Santa Cruz de la Palma, the capital city of the island, so we rented a car to visit the island. The Palma Island is a beautiful place. It’s a volcanic island with a lot of active volcanoes. The latest eruption was the Teneguia’s volcano in 1971, only forty years ago. But also it has native woods – “laurisilva’s woods”- and wonderful plants and flowers because it rains a lot. There are many beautiful beaches; most of them with black sand and the sidewalks along the beach are built with black volcanic rock. In February, the weather is usually good, so it was sunny most of days; but two days were terrible. The first day was cold, cloudy and windy, but the second day, there was a big storm with heavy showers, gale strong winds, lightning and thunderclaps. There was a big snowstorm on the top of mountains. The next day the weather was warm and sunny but the mountain pass was closed to traffic. We went for a walk in the snow with our hiking boots and walking sticks. The top of mountain was 2,400 meters high and the young people were doing surf on the snow on the road. MY LAST HOLIDAY My last Holiday was last week. I went with two friends. We went to Italy by plane from Santander to Bergamo. In Bergamo we took a bus to Milan and we went on a train from Milan to Pavia. We arrived in the evening and after meeting our sons, we went out to have dinner to Trattoria Cupolone. It was a good choice because it had Italian food and nice music. The first day we went shopping to Milan. We spent a lot of money in clothes for our sons. The next days we were in Pavia and we walked around in the centre city. We ate a lot of Italian food. The weather was terrible. While we were in Pavia it was raining and it was cold but we were happy with our sons. We spent five days on the trip and we stayed in a Hotel in Pavia and Bergamo The best day was the last day in Bergamo. It was sunny but it was cold because Bergamo is near the Alps. There is a medieval small city around the Venetian walls “Città alta”. It’s the historic centre of Bergamo. After that we went back home.
