Last Summer Holiday
I
spent last summer with my wife in Europe where the nice weather and beautiful places.
I visited two incredible places which are Chamonix in south France and Geneva
the capital of Switzerland. The good thing in Europe especially in summer is
the sun rise at 4:00 am and set at 10:25 pm so we could do many activities
during a day. The first station was Chamonix which is considered one of the
most beautiful places in France. The ice is covered this village for whole the
year. We did many activities such as skiing, hiking and climbing the mountains.
After that we moved to Geneva and we stayed there for three days. In the first
day we visited old places, museums and Geneva lacks. Then we went for shopping where
there were a lot of good brand which is not available in UAE. In the last day
we prepared to come back home. We really enjoyed the trip and definitely we
will have more visits in future.
