Beach Vacation in Venice
I have been dreaming of going to the seaside for a long time. But I didn't want to go to Turkey as it was really hot there in summer and then there were only hotels offered to stay at. I didn't want to stay at a hotel at all. Besides, I spent my vacation in Turkey for several times, so that was another reason not to go there. I decided to search for the right destination on the internet and at last I found it - Venice. That was the right place I really wanted to go to. So I went to Chioggia on holidays. I easily found an apartment there not far from the beach. I can't say my vacation in Venice was an active one but I still liked it very much. Every day I went to the beach to get suntanned. I usually tried to go there in the mornings as in the day time I usually tried to do the sights. E.g. I visited Venice, the city on the water. I visited almost all the museums of the city, and I especially liked the Jewish museum. While in Venice, I also enjoyed its cuisine. They really can make very delicious fish dishes and risotto. I also visited such cities as Albano Terme and Verona where I also liked very much. In the evenings I liked to walk along the quiet streets of Chioggia discovering the beauty of the city. I even made friends with some of the locals so I had a really excellent rest in Venice.

Trip to St Petersburg
They say travel is more than the seeing of sights. It is a change that goes on, deep and permanent in the ideas of living. I haven't travelled much yet and haven't gone on long journeys either, but I am found of travelling and I have already been to a few places. Last summer I made an exciting trip to St.Petersburg. I went there with my friends. Petersburg is named the cultural capital of Russia. It was a fascinating trip, because we visited different museums (the Hermitage, the Russian museum), a huge number of outstanding architectural ensembles: the Aleksandro-Nevsky monastery, the Smolny, the Zimny palace est. the suburb of Petersburg - Peterhof was the country residence of Russian emperors. There is the complex of Russian emperors. We didn't have much time, our trip was only 3 days, but also we visited shops and supermarkets. And of course, we had breakfast, dinner and supper in different restaurants, I tasted Japanese food. We managed to visit so many places in St.Petersburg because we didn't stay at a hotel. We rented a nice 3-roomed apartment and were really satisfied with our choice.
