A Special moment you enjoyed with your family
I still remembered that day vividly when my father agreed to bring us to Europe for a tour for a 14 days. I was beside myself with joy and anticipation as the tour was just a month away. Since the exams had just passed, I counted down the days to the tour: 7, 6, 5, 4, 3…..
The day for the tour finally came and I waited excitedly at the airport to go for the trip.
The day for the tour finally came and I waited excitedly at the airport to go for the trip.
We arrived about 3 hours earlier to prepare for our departure at terminal 2. As we were waiting, we bought some biscuits to eat. Finally we are ready to board the aeroplane, and the facilities in the aeroplane were excellent; there was enough space between the seats and the entertainment was also very good. There were also both games and movies to watch. In the morning, I woke up in the aeroplane. It was very beautiful and enchanting to my eyes.The trip was 13 hours and when finally I landed in the airport of Italy, I realized that the weather was quite cold compared to Singapore as the windows of the aeroplane which was previously fogged up, disappeared immediately. Straight away the tour guide gave us a tour in Italy. I enjoyed the trip around Italy and we went to several other places such as Germany, Switzerland and France etc…I saw the churches in Italy and I went to the leaning tower of Pisa and we took a picture as though I was supporting the tower with my hands.
We also went to Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart and we bought many Mozart chocolates and they were quite cheap as compared to Singapore. In France, we ate snails (Yuk!) L but it turned out to be quite nice J and we also ate the liver of the goose which was extremely salty. It was very nutritious and expensive so my parents forced me to eat it. LL We also ate the cheese in Switzerland and took a picture of a black and white duck that I had never seen before. But my favorite place is the Black Forest in Germany. Although we visited churches in Italy, and went to the birthplace of Mozart, it is nothing as compared to the snow-covered Black Forest and the most amazing thing is that it was the only place that snowed in all the places I went to in within this 14 days. My whole family was blissful and we took a picture of us holding the snow together. It was the sweetest and the most special moment I enjoyed in the snow with my family and I could feel the warm love between us. 14 days passed quickly and soon it was time to go back to Singapore. Although I felt reluctant and a tinge of sadness that I had to leave Europe so quickly, I still felt happy and my heart still radiates with warmth when I remember that special moment with my family in Europe.
