MY HOLIDAYS

Laura Bogataj, 8.b

This year I spent my vacation on an island Korčula for the third time. I

was there for two weeks. We drove about nine hours. When we arrived

we went to our appartment in a small fishing village called Prigradica. It

was a big house with a large terrace. The sea was warm and the weather

was great. Just last two days was a little cloudy and rainy but it was a

kind of refreshing.

One day we visited a city Vela Luka. It isn´t far away from Prigradica.

It´s the biggest city on Korčula. It has a very clean sea (except in the

harbour) and preserved nature. It´s a place of very talented artists and

musicians, so there is a museum of all of arts and other historical objects.

There´s a lot of tracks for cycling and hikeing. We didn´t takebicycles, so we just went for a walk. One day, when we went in

a city named Korčula, my brother didn´t go with us. He drove with a catamaran. He sad that it´s very big and beautiful inside. He

also sad that is more spacious than he thought. Near our appartment

was a volleyball and football court. But the locals are better in water

polo so there was also a space for that.

Capital city of island Korčula is Korčula. Its from 10. century. Streets

have a shape like a fish. A very famous world traveller Marco Polo was

born in Korčula. City has many old buildings. One of the most famous

buildings is cathedral of St. Mark, from 13. century. Very gorgeous is a

city wall. In nowadays Korčula has about 3000 people.

FOODIn Korčula make very good olive oil. Wherever you drive you

see an olive tree. There´s also a lot of fig trees and carobs.

Usually we ate in appartment, but when we went out I ate pizza and

drank a cola. Of course, in every place we went I tried an ice cream.
