A moment I enjoyed with my family

The moment I enjoyed with my family would definitely be during the holidays, when we went overseas. This was the only time my family could go out together for a long time as my father was usually overseas or worked very late.

I was also very excited as we were going to London and Paris and I know this is a rare opportunity to tour in Europe. It was 17 day trip which we were planning for.

The moment we touched down, we were confused by the complicating tube (train) lines. Eventually, we arrived at Trafalgar Square- where our apartment was. Due to the jet lag, we were too tired to do anything, even to eat. We turned in for the night.

For the next week I visited all the attractions in London- Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and my favourite soccer stadium. My family definitely enjoyed this experience, despite the fact that they had to endure the freezing conditions. We communicated a lot during this trip, navigating our way through London and other places.

Then, we took a bus ride from London to Paris. It was 12 hours of torture. Although my other cousins and I recommended taking the train, which was 4 times faster, my mother persisted on taking the bus as it was cheaper and there was more experience.

Once we reached Paris, my mum got ill and while we were on the top of the Eiffel Tower, she puked. Therefore, our night activities were cancelled and we took care of her until she recovered. The last week of my holidays passed like wind and soon it was home. I hated it. I wanted to stay there forever.
