My best holiday
Last April I visited Paris with my family. We spent
five days there and we had a wonderful time.
We stayed in a beautiful hotel in the city centre
and we did lots of sightseeing and shopping.
We walked down the Champs Elysees and we saw
the Arc de Triomphe (The Triumph Arch). We
enjoyed an amazing view of the city from the top
of the Eiffel Tower, spent a day in the Louver
and had coffee at the little coffee shops in
Montmartre. We also went on a day trip to Euro
Disney, where we had the time of our lives with
our favourite cartoon characters! This was the best
holiday I had ever had!
What impressed me most about Sochi is that it
offers exciting holiday activities both in the
summer and in the winter.
Lake Baikal
Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world and a
very popular skiing resort in Russia. It is located in
Siberia near the Mongolian border and it is sur
rounded by mountains, forests and wild rivers.
Baikal is a large area of breathtaking beauty. A lot
of tourists visit the region every year to enjoy ski
ing and other outdoor activities such as hiking,
climbing, whitewater sports and nature photogra
phy. Baikal is a dream world and an ideal holiday
destination!
