Throwback Thursday #13

Considering I'm on holiday right now, I'd thought I'd give you a little tour of the past holidays I have been on. I am blessed enough that my parents save up all year to go on holiday abroad every year. When we were little, we would always go camping and I love those holidays but I have to say, now that I am older, I truly appreciate the efforts they go to in order to get away for 2 weeks in the year. I feel so lucky for them to be so disciplined with their money all year round for a holiday. It makes me appreciate it so much more.

1. Cyprus
I am currently in Cyprus at the moment and the last time I was there it was 5 year ago, so when I was 16 years old. I remember Cyprus as being such a great place to visit. You could walk round the streets by yourself and I loved that. The weather was beautiful and the people were lovely. It was commercialised but you could tell it hadn't hit its peak yet. Although I can imagine that has all changed by now.

2. Egypt.
I have actually been to Egypt 3 times because we loved it so much. I love the weather and the fact that it's so beautiful when the sun is shining. You can go there and you won't be disappointed by the weather any day. It is a great place to go and I enjoyed being able to quad bike in the desert. It's one of those things that you never dream of doing but I got to do it, as well as riding a camel. The only thing I didn't like about Egypt was the fact the people out there are poor and that means they constantly hassle you to buy stuff from them. When you would go out, I would always feel uncomfortable and I hated it. It never made me want to go outside because I didn't feel safe. I know that's mainly because I'm a scaredy cat but hey, I didn't like it.

3. Tunisia
In between this time, we went to Tunisia twice which was almost exactly the same as Egypt but the weather for some reason, wasn't as reliable. It was beautiful nevertheless and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We went snorkelling and also tried our hardest to change our white bodies to tanned beauties. Somehow, it never really works that well. Ha!

2010
I love all three of those places and they all hold a very special place in my heart. We have also travelled to Spain and Tenerife before Cyprus but I either don't remember them that well or we had a bad experience with it... In Tenerife, it started to rain and it actually got so bad that it flooded our hotel... Oops!

Where have you been in the world? I hope you've been blessed to go abroad and if you haven't, save up and do it because the country you live in is just a small part of the world. There are so many other different beautiful places that are just waiting for you to explore.. This is a little foreshadowing of a future blog ;) wait for that one to come out!

Love you all, I hope you've enjoyed this lightly different Throwback Thursday. I shall give you a little more of Nicole picture history next week because we haven't had that in a while!
