Unforgettable Vacation in Ligurian Vernazzo

While I go on holidays somewhere, I don’t like to search for accommodation for a long time. That’s why I chose Liguria for my next vacation. I was told that it is not a problem at all to find a suitable accommodation in Liguria as it is a very popular tourist region not only in Italy but all over the world. In Liguria I stayed in a wonderful city of Vernazza. In the past this city was of a great importance. It is several centuries old and has many sights, like Doria castle that was included into the defense system of the city. I also experienced diving in the Maemuna cave. Of course, I dived with an instructor as I am just a beginner in diving. But in any case I got much pleasure from everything I saw under water. I was also impressed with the nature of Vernazzo. It is the Cinque Terre National Park. Besides, on the slopes surrounding Vernazzo there are many vineyards and olive groves which give a special charm to the place. I really fell in love with the place that I didn’t want to leave this little paradise.

Trip to Venice

Oh my God! I have dreamt of this trip for my whole life! I so wanted to go on holidays to Venice and at last I will go there this summer. The fact of the matter is that I have won a trip to Veneto region in lottery. My trip to Venice will start on July, 5. But even now I want to know as much as possible about the city and the region I am going to spend my holidays in. So, the other day I was surfing on the internet pages in search for information about Venice. I even thought of a small plan what to see in Venice. Of course, it is Venice, the city itself. I want to take a ride on gondola and of course, I can’t miss a visit to St Marco’s Square. They say that who feeds pigeons, will be sure happy. So I want to check it myself. I also read that there are wonderful beaches on the Adriatic coast of Veneto Region. Tourism is the main industry there, so it’s really simple to find a nice apartment located not far from the beach. I’d also like to rent something, too but I will have to stay at a hotel as it is already included into the waybill. Well, in any case I hope my trip to Venice region will be interesting and useful for me.

Future Vacation in South Africa

To tell the truth I have never been anywhere abroad. I’m not a lover of different travels but this year I surely decided to use one of the opportunities to go somewhere and see other country. I have many friends who are crazy about traveling so they advised me to go to South Africa. They say there are lots of holiday opportunities there. I’m free to choose any place I wish but I don’t know how to find an apartment to live in. Having surfing on the internet, I found that there were many rental opportunities. I have no more hesitations about my trip. I’ve found the accommodation and I’m sure it will be good as I’ve seen it on the photo. This is a wonderful cottage on the sea shore. Casino and entertaining center are round the corner. Besides, there is the Aqua Park and national safari park there. Different exotic animals are just walking nearby, but this would be terrifying a bit as there are no cages there. I think it’s time to get everything from this life.
