A new schoolyear is just around the corner and everyone is anxious to tell others all the news. Everything we did, everyone we met, everywhere we went...
Generally, the people who wrote the school programmes and the school syllabus are also aware of this and the first topic you see, when you take a look at your syllabus is " Last summer holidays".
Well, I've decided to come forward and start telling you about mine rather than asking you about yours. So, here it is.

I’m writing to tell you about my last summer holidays. They were awesome!
I spent one week in Croatia and I loved it!
Croatia is a European country which borders with Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia Herzegovina. It is bathed by the Adriatic Sea and it is not very far away from Italy.
It is a country of great contrasts with many islands (1182!), warm beaches, beautiful mountains, dazzling castles and breathtaking fields of lavender.
I went there by plane in the company of my son and we stayed at a hotel in Dubrovnik. This old historical city is classified as World Heritage by UNESCO.
We swam in the ocean, made trips by boat, visited interesting islands, took hundreds of photos and bought some souvenirs. What I liked best was a visit to a wine cellar: Croatia is famous by its wines. This visit took place on the return from the Island of Korkula, the birthplace of the famous seafarer Marco Polo.
I also had the time to visit the neighbouring country Montenegro. It is considered as one of the most beautiful countries in the world and with good reason. The mountains are amazing, the bays and shores are like postcards, the water is transparent blue and the small towns seemed to be painted by true artists.
The worst thing about my holidays was that it was ONLY A WEEK! I only wish I had more time there to visit other interesting places.
Anyway, I intend to go back again… and again. I fell in love with this country and made some friends there.
So, this was the most interesting week of my last summer holidays. The rest I save to tell you later, personally. I hope you had so much fun in reading about them as I had in describing them to you.
All the best
