After each term in
school we had our holidays. It's fun to have holidays, you can do whatever you
like, you don't have to get up too early, do your homework or think of troubles
which occur very often at school.
Most of all I liked summer holidays, they
were the longest ones, though, when winter was snowy and and frosty, I enjoyed
my winter holidays skating and skiing, sledging and making a snowman or having
a fight with snowballs.
I'd like to tell you about my summer
holidays I spent in Sochi. It was just three years ago. My parents and me were
sitting in the living-room discussing our plans for the summer holidays. My
father suggested that we should go to Sochi. On hearing that I jumped up with
joy and said it was a wonderful idea. My mother wasn't against the idea either.
So one summer morning we started for our journey to Sochi.
First, we travelled to Odessa by plane and
from there we got to Sochi by boat. We stayed in Odessa for three days, our
relatives live there and they gave us board and lodging. So we had an excellent
opportunity to go round the city, to see beautiful monuments to the famous people
who had lived in Odessa, museums and the Odessa Opera House.
We enjoyed our trip from Odessa to Sochi.
The Black Sea was calm. We sat on deck in the lounge chairs and looked at the
sea. I like Sochi very much, we bathed and went boating and swimming, lay in
the sun on the beach. In the evenings we went for a walk or dropped in at a
cafe to have ice-cream or juice.
My father showed us the famous Botanical
Gardens, we went for hikes in the mountains, we saw the magnificent Augura
Waterfalls. The sea was nice and warm. The weather was fine. When it was time
to go home, we were sorry to leave the marvellous town of Sochi.
