Best Holiday
Last year my family and I went on the most amazing holiday to Spain.
We had never been to Spain before and my Dad wanted to go there
because he said that he was fed up with sitting around in the damp and
gloom!
When we arrived at the villa it was baking hot. The first thing that Dad
did was to take a shower. He said that he needed to cool off after such a
long journey. There was a swimming pool so we spent a lot of time
mucking about in the water or splashing water over Dad!
One afternoon we went to visit some caves in the hills. Inside the caves
were the most amazing stalagmites and stalactites. They were knobbly
and looked like massive, misshapen spears. Some were like bars in a
zoo. The guide tapped some and it was rather like playing a
glockenspiel. In the caves it was quite cold and by the end of the tour
we were all ready for a bit of sun and an ice cream.
On the third day we visited a beach. The waves were just right for
surfing so we hired some bodyboards. Dad was worried that we would
drown so he spent the afternoon standing in the sea watching us. It was
a breeze! The waves were strong enough to float in on but not too
powerful.
One of the best things about the holidays was that Dad was so useless at
cooking that we had to go into the town every night to eat. There was a
stall where you could buy chips and calamari. The calamari was squid
cooked in batter – it tasted like rubbery fish. Once we had eaten, we
played on the pinball machines.
When we got home Mom wanted to see all the photos. I had a
magnificent picture of Dad’s very red face from too much sun. All in all
I think that it was a great holiday and I can’t wait to go back!!!
