If you would like to go on holiday, you can go abroad or stay in Hungary. If you
don’t like cold weather, you can spend your holiday during the summer, but if you
are interested in winter sports, you have the opportunity to go skiing in winter.
Before the journey, you have to book the holiday by telephone, on the internet,
or at the travel agent’s. You need to check if your passport, identity card,
driving licence is valid. If it’s needed you also have to ask for a visa (for example
if you go to America). If you go abroad, it’s necessary to change money and take
out insurance. Finally, you have to pack your suitcase with toiletries (for example
comb, razor, toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shower gel). Besides these you should
pack a camera, money and your documents.
If you go on a summer holiday, you don’t need as many things as for a winter
holiday. On the beach you only need a swimsuit, flip-flops, sunglasses and you can
wear a sun hat which protects you from getting sunstroke and you should pack a
sunscreen into your suitcase as well, you should wear light dresses in order to
stay cool and feel comfortable during the sightseeing. You can stay in a tent or a
caravan in a campsite, because the nights are warmer. If you go to a seaside
holiday, you can go swimming and can lie in the sun. In big cities you can go
sightseeing. You can visit old buildings, palaces, churches, bridges, museums and
so on. You also have the chance to go trekking.
In winters, the weather is snowy and chilly so it is recommended to wear warm
clothes like a sweater, a jumper, a thick pullover, a long-sleeved shirt and it
could be useful to wear underwear. You should wear gloves or mittens, a woollen
cap and around your neck you can wear a scarf. If you go skiing, you have to pack
your skiing equipment too like skies, poles, glasses, and gloves. In the mountains,
you can only stay in a chalet.
Last summer, I went to Croatia with my boyfriend and with his family. It was
one of the best holidays in my whole life. We went by car and we travelled
almost six hours, so we were so exhausted when we arrived in Zaton which is a
great city in Croatia. We spent 10 days there. We didn’t have an accommodation
when we arrived so we had to find one, which was quite difficult, but we solved
the problem quite quickly. My boyfriend and I stayed in an apartment in the
island of Vir. We spent every day on the beach. We played volleyball in the
water, we went scuba diving, and we found a lot of shells and starfish. We went
jet-skiing, first I was afraid but then I started to enjoy it. We went out in the
evenings; we ate a lot and took photos. Everybody was nice and helpful, and we
used the English language a lot. Unfortunately, the time went so fast, but I can’t
wait to go back again.
