My last summer holiday was wonderful. My uncle lives in Nova Scotia,
Canada together with his family. We saw them last in 2017. This
summer we decided to visit them. We had a great time there. Nova
Scotia is famous for its natural beauty. We visited a lot of tourist
attractions there. Nova Scotia is a perfect place for outdoor activities.
We tried some of them like fishing, hiking, surfing, whale watching
and, of course, we visited Scotia's famous white sandy beaches. All
my cousins and my sister found the water warm enough to swim but
not me. For me, the water was too cold to swim in. I tried to enter the
water three times, but each time my feet felt numb. I put on my clothes
and decided never to try swimming there again. I liked whale watching
most. It was amazing. We were close enough to take wonderful
pictures. Now I look at those pictures and I want to go there again.

My brother likes travelling very much. He visited a lot of interesting
places all over the world. This summer we travelled together. We
went to the Arctic island of Svalbard. It is a place full of wildlife and
breathtaking landscape. Svalbard has the longest days in summer. We
had a fun time in Svalbard and tried different activities. We visited the
coal mine, had a boat trip and saw a lot of animals. Can you imagine I
saw polar bears? They were amazing. At the end of the day, I was sad
because I forgot to take photos of them.
We wanted to see whales as well. The guide and captain of our tour tried their best to spot whales, but they couldn't spot any. Everything was perfect in Svalbard. The only problem was falling asleep at night. It was too light to fall asleep. It was easy for locals to fall asleep, but tourists had problems with sleepless nights. I liked my trip very much. At the same time, I was happy that it finished. I wanted a good sleep in darkness and also, I missed my summer clothes. In Svalbard, even in summer you wear a warm jacket, a hat and mittens.
