TRAVELLING DIARY

Sunday: Hooray! It’s summer! It’s Sunday and we are going to travel round Ukraine.

Travelling with my elder brother’s family is so much fun. He knows a lot about different places and our first stop will be in Lutsk. We are going there by bus. My brother told me about the Shatski Lakes and the most beautiful and largest lake Svityaz. I’m going to see it with my own eyes!

Monday: We are at Lake Svitiaz now and I’m really amazed. The weather is crystal clear and so warm. We are going by boat to see the wonderful Shatsk National Nature Park. My brother says there are a lot of rare flowers and birds there. I have never had a boat trip before. I think I’ll like it.

Wednesday: I’ve had a special time these last two days. In the evening we are going to Kyiv by train. We’ll have a three day sightseeing tour. I can’t believe I’ll see the heart of the country soon.

Sunday: It is Sunday again and I’ve seen a lot of interesting places in Kyiv. We went to the central square by underground and I took a lot of pictures there. We spent two hours in the underground shopping centre ‘Globus’. I’ll buy some souvenirs for my friends from there. Tomorrow we are going to the seaside, to Odesa, to be exact. We’ll travel by plane, and it will be the last stop. I’m so excited! It is the most memorable holiday in my life. To see different parts of Ukraine and to travel by all means of transport in a week! Enough to feel excited!
