HELLOY , DEN !
I’d like to tell you about my summer holidays I spent in Crimea.
It
was the first time I’ve been there. I’ve been dreamed to visit Crimea
for many years but our family couldn’t afford this. This summer my
father said we can go to the Black sea. I couldn’t believe my ears. I
asked him again if he is serious, but he said he already purchased
tickets on the train to Simferopol.
On 5th July we left Kiev and
went to Simferopol by train. Our destination was Alushta, so from
Simferopol to Alushta we went by trolley-bus. As soon as we reached
Crimean Mountains, I was stunned by the scenic views that I only saw in
pictures. The road looped between mountains and soon we reached the
Angarsky pass. It was the highest point on our road, so then we started
to descend and finally we arrived to Alushta!
Alushta is one of the
largest towns in Crimea. It’s situated on the seaside between high
beautiful mountains. Of course, the main treasure of Alushta is
magnificent Black sea!
It was a splendid time. We swimmed, walked by
seaside, and visited many sights. Excursion to the Valley of the
Ghosts, which is situated near Alushta, amazed me the most. The Valley
of the Ghosts is surreal landscape of giant stone pillars that were
sculpted by wind erosion. It was incredible sight, because I’ve never
seen anything like this!
Also we’ve visited the Dzhur-Dzhur
waterfall, the Marble Cave, and the Red Cave. Marble Cave has several
underground halls with stalactites and stalagmites of fantastic shapes,
resembling people and animals. The Red Cave has an underground river.
Those
days were amazing and unforgettable; I wished if I had more days to
spend over there. My holidays were exciting and full of joy. I enjoyed
immensely. I think that Crimea is a real paradise on earth I dream to
visit it again
