NEF A2: 4A True Blue

NEF A2: 2 The story behind a photo

One of my favourite photos is of the entrance to the Temple of Ramses II in Abu-Simbel.
My husband took the photo in autumn of 2005, exactly on October 1, when we were on holiday in Egypt.
We flew to El Cairo. There we went sightseeing the Giza Necropolis, Memphis, Saqqara Necropolis, the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, and so on. After two days, we went by train to Luxor, the ancient Thebes, where we took a cruiser ship and we sailed for the Nile.
When we arrived at Aswan, we took a bus to Abu Simbel. I had waited for this moment all my life. The weather was very hot although the sun was rising, but we didn’t mind because the sight was amazing. I felt very small next to such grandeur.
I’ll never forget that moment. I’ll go back, I’m sure.

NEF A1: 5 A holiday report

I went to Colombia last August with my family. We flew to Colombia with Iberia.
We stayed for twenty days in my parents' house.
During the day we walked around the city. We visited many beautiful sites. We loved going to the Monserrate. We took a lot of photos. At night we often took pies for dinner and we went to bed early. We bought a lot of clothes because they are very cheap.
We had a great time and the weather was good. We had good luck because it often rains in Colombia in August and it is usually windy; it is the kite month. I don´t remember having any problems.

I went to Salamanca last spring with my husband to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We went by car.
We stayed for a weekend in a small hotel near the university. The hotel was nice and quite cheap.
During the day we walked around the city and visited the University of Salamanca, museums, a castle and the Plaza Mayor.
We took a lot of photos. At night we went to a restaurant and had "cochinillo". We also tasted the sweets in Salamanca. We bought the traditional "frog" and "skull" from Salamanca. I bought a keychain with the frog from Salamanca for my son too.
We had a great time. Salamanca is full of history and full of Spanish and foreign students. We only had one problem: the hotel room didn't have a big bed ... but two twin beds!
