Four days in a fantasy world

I fondly remember my trip to Disneyland Paris. I was only 8 years old when my parents decided to go as my communion gift. The news that my uncles and my cousin Martín were also coming was what made this experience unforgettable for me.

The first thing I did when I arrived was go buy an autograph book that I still have today with the signature of all my favorite characters.

         

From this moment we began our tour of the amusement park. It was very exciting to see there everything that I had always seen on television since my age kept me from differentiating the real from the imaginary.

Rather than saying that there were many attractions in Disney, I would say that everything was an attraction in itself, full of performances and unexpected surprises that always made me smile.

Everything went as we had expected. The weather conditions were spectacular and the food in the park was very tasty, especially in one of the restaurants where we ate the best croque monsieur we had ever tried.

However, there were some drawbacks. The first of these was the long lines that you had to wait to get on the attractions. Second and not least, the fear that I felt on various occasions. I have always considered myself a very scary person which prevented me from fully enjoying the experience.

It is for all this that I have been wanting to relive the trip. In my opinion, this adventure is worth seeing from two perspectives: that of the illusion and fantasy of a child's mind and from the adrenaline and adventure of an older person.

My trip to Italy

Hello, everyone!! In this post, I will be talking about the amazing trip I made to Italy some years ago.

I went there with my school classmates five years ago. We decided, as it was out last trip together, that we would make the best of it so we thought about going on a cruise for six days and visit Italy. There we visited Rome, Pompeii, Naples and finally the island of Sardinia. I can assure you it was the best trip of my life.

As we had to get the ship, we went to Valencia by bus first. It was really tiring due to its eleven hours of journey. We arrived there at lunchtime, so after we had eaten, we went to visit the most important places in Valencia such as the Oceanographic and the ‘Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias’. We only stayed in Valencia for the afternoon, so unfortunately we couldn’t see much of it. At six o’clock it was time to take our ship and we were all really nervous and that only got worse when we saw that giant ship in front of us. It was amazing! The cruise had everything you can imagine: it had pools, jacuzzi, a disco, a really good buffet, a gym, and some areas where you could go to relax. It was really nice. And so were the rooms we had. They were a bit little but comfortable enough for us to sleep.

Our first day in Italy, we saw Rome and the most important places, like the Fontana di Trevi or the Coliseum, I really enjoyed being there! But the place I liked the most was Pompeii, which we visited on the second day. As I am a fan of archeology, that place was like a dream for me and I was thrilled when the tourist guides were telling us everything about the city, and how it was destructed by the volcano. They even showed us some photos of the bodies. As you can imagine, that was somehow creepy, but I still enjoyed my visit.

The third and fourth day we visited Naples and the island of Sardinia and I also liked the cities a lot but it was really hot so we couldn’t enjoy it as much as we wanted to! It was a pity, but it still was fun to visit them.

The fifth consisted in travelling back to Valencia and one thing I can remember perfectly is how the cruise moved when we were near the Baleares Islands! It was a bit scary and a lot of people got sick. Nothing happened but it still was something to remember. We got to Valencia at six o’clock in the morning. There was a bus waiting for us and we drove back to Ourense.

It was a really nice trip, but take my advice: If you go to Rome, be careful with the cars! They won’t stop even if you are crossing the street!

Hope you enjoyed this post! Let me know in the comments
