WHAT I LEARN FROM MY LAST HOLIDAY

VERY INTERESTING HOLIDAY

By Abdullahi AlabiPublished 2 years ago 3 min read

Embarking on my last holiday was akin to unwrapping a long-awaited gift – filled with anticipation and the promise of delightful surprises. It was an escape from the humdrum routine, a journey into the realms of relaxation and exploration.

The destination of choice was a quaint coastal town, where the rhythmic melodies of crashing waves and the salty breeze embraced me upon arrival. The azure expanse of the ocean stretched as far as the eye could see, inviting me to unwind and let the ebb and flow of the tides synchronize with the rhythm of my soul.

Mornings were a symphony of tranquility. I reveled in the luxury of waking up without an alarm, greeted by the soft hues of the sunrise painting the sky. Breakfasts were savored with the backdrop of the ocean's gentle murmur, a soothing melody that accompanied each sip of coffee.

Days unfolded like chapters in a well-written novel, each offering a unique adventure. Exploring the coastal trails became a daily ritual. The trails led me through lush landscapes, revealing hidden coves and panoramic vistas that seemed like nature's own artwork. Camera in hand, I captured moments that would become lasting memories.

Afternoons were reserved for the beach – a canvas of golden sand and azure waters. Whether basking in the sun's warm embrace or indulging in the therapeutic sound of waves, time seemed to suspend, allowing me to be present in the moment.

Local markets and eateries became my playground for discovering the town's essence. From seafood delicacies that tantalized my taste buds to handmade trinkets that told stories of skilled artisans, every encounter added a brushstroke to the vibrant canvas of my holiday.

Evenings were a time for reflection and connection. Sunset strolls along the shoreline became a cherished ritual, a quiet conversation with the horizon. As day gave way to night, beachside bonfires and stargazing sessions painted the canvas with the hues of shared laughter and cosmic wonders.

The last day of my holiday approached with a bittersweet embrace. I took a leisurely walk along the beach, collecting shells as mementos of the moments spent in this coastal haven. As I bid farewell to the town, I carried with me not just souvenirs but a heart brimming with the serenity and joy that the holiday bestowed.

In retrospect, my last holiday was more than a temporal escape – it was a narrative of serendipity, a story woven with the threads of nature's beauty, culinary delights, and the warmth of newfound connections. It was a chapter in the book of my life, etched with the magic of exploration and the bliss of unhurried moments.

Summer vacations are the best time in a year for every student. It offers every student an opportunity to explore new stuff. It also offers a chance of taking a break from the daily routine and shift to new hobbies such as gardening, painting, singing, and dancing while having fun with friends. All of us spend summer vacation doing what we love the most. Some people like to play at home simple, while others prefer stepping out to explore new things.

Last summer, I visited my grandparents’ home, which is located far away from the city’s bustle. My cousins visited our grandparents, too, during their summer vacation. My grandmother prepared a lot of dishes, and we relished every bite of the food. My grandfather loves gardening, and we helped him planting new saplings and water the plants in the garden. We all used to sit together in the evenings and listen to my grandparents’ stories. Thereafter, we all used to go to the terrace and play some games. At night, we gazed at the stars and moon and listened to some mesmerizing stories about the stars and moon narrated by my grandmother. I had a wonderful time spending some memorable moments with my grandparents.
