Travel (Outside of Canada)

A few weeks ago, I came back home from an incredible trip in Cuba. It was such a pleasant surprise, as my lovely husband planned the whole vacation from departure to arrival. It was a birthday gift of mine.

First, we set on a plane and flew across the Atlantic Ocean. The hotel was only for adults. It was organized, very comfortable and the directions were easy to understand. In the hotel there was a beautiful garden! I recognized a lot of plants there, which can be grown at home. But there they were huge! The leaves were big than me!!! If someone had told me about it, I couldn't have believe it!

Every morning I woke up early, because I loved watching sunrise and listening to birds songs, which gave me positive energy and good mood throughout the day.

At all times we met beautiful lizards everywhere. They have curly tails that I had never seen earlier. I took photos of the lizards so many times for good memory. I think that it was so cute.

Every day we enjoyed the warm ocean. I also tried snorkeling. It was an awesome experience! I loved watching fishes. On the beach I saw birds, which hunted for blue crabs. The wild world is so amazing!

In the evening for a few times, we enjoyed piano performances. It was wonderful! The musicians played popular songs which were known by all people. For example, they were hits of Sting, Scorpions and etc. We drank delicious cocktails and were happy together.

About the weather, I can say we are lucky. Sometimes there was a thunderstorm, but nothing distracted us.

Relaxed and happy, I was back home. I am keeping in mind all the beautiful sunsets I saw there!
