a great holiday
Lara and Mia are twins. They are ten years old. Every summer they spend their holiday at Camping Nevio in Croatia. The camping is near the sea and has a beautiful beach, a big swimming pool, and clear water for snorkeling. The sun shines almost every day.
In the morning, Lara and Mia wake up early in their bungalow. They open the window and see the blue sea. They wash their faces and brush their teeth in the bathroom. After breakfast with their parents, they put on their swimsuits and go to the beach.
The girls swim in the sea and put on their masks to snorkel. They look at small fish and colorful shells under the water. Sometimes they collect pretty stones on the beach.
Later, they go to the swimming pool. They jump into the water, play with a ball, and use the small water slide. They meet other children and swim races in the shallow part of the pool. Their parents relax on the chairs and watch them.
In the afternoon, they ride bikes or play table tennis. In the evening, they walk on the beach, watch the sunset, and sit in front of the bungalow looking at the stars.
