SUMMMER HOLIDAYS
I had wonderful summer holidays. It was
a very exciting trip. I visited a lot of different European countries.
I was in the capital of German - Berlin. There I saw the most famous museums of Berlin and I did shopping in modern German shops. Then I went to Poland, to the capital of Belgium - Brussels where I took photos with famous Manneken Piss and tasted there national chocolate.
I was in Holland and in France but the most amazing place I visited was London. As you know, London is the capital of Great Britain. In London I saw such sightseeings as Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, the Tower and others with my own eyes. In the evenings I walked along famous London streets and squares such as Chinatown, Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square. The great event was visiting Madame Tussaud's museum where I took photos with wax figures of some famous people. In this photo I'm with "The Beatles"! You know, it was so strange to stay beside some star because he looked as if he were alive!
During ту travelling around Britain I was not only in London but also in some other places: I was in Bath, Dover, I saw the most famous prehistoric monument in the world -Stonehenge. Just try to imagine that this monument has a 5,000-year history!
I visited Windsor Castle with over 900 ~ears of Royal history, and in our days it is still Queen Elizabeth's Castle.
I'm sure that Г11 never forget these aolidays. I opened a lot of new things for myself and I wish everybody to visit these countries.
