Travel (Outside of Canada)

Family with bicycles on the Baltic Sea at sunset

Till today, I still clearly remember the first trip to Sand Beach with my family and best friends.

Two years ago, we decided to take a big and nice break and enjoy our vacation together. So we had prepared for this trip for two days. During these two days we made resort reservation and got all our food and drinks ready for our barbecue.

Finally on a Friday morning, early at 6 a.m. we set out, and we arrived there around 9 a.m. As soon as we got to the resort and put our things in the room and we headed straight to the gorgeous beach. The sky was so clear and blue. The water was as beautiful as flowing jade.

Then we played a few funny soccer games with all the kids and swam in the soothing water. After that, my husband came and we watched the sunset together. The sky turned into an amazing mixture of blue and orange. Even the best painters could not catch any single moment from it. Then we told stories about our lives to the friends and shared our plans about the future.

After that, we returned to the resort to munch on some snacks. Then we made a marvellous barbecue with sorts of meat and vegetables. The highlight was we spent all the time singing and dancing till midnight!

The next morning we took a refreshing bicycle ride to some nearby beaches. Along the rural paths, we found out some lovely places which are the hidden gems in this area. We stayed there for the rest of the day and enjoyed the breath-taking views of each little beach. Then we went back to the first beach area we visited for swim and a sun bath again. There was never enough fun for all of us till the minute we headed home!
