It is better to go to the Sofievsky park during May 03-08. This is the best time for the weather and the number of people. Before that it will be cold and not green, and then all the flowers will bloom and the sun will shine.

Park Sofievka is divided into two parts: old and new. The old is more interesting and requires about 5 hours of walking. It is better to take food and water with you. At the entrance you should take a map of the park.

The park is very beautiful and soulful! Definitely recommend everyone to visit!

Egypt - is there anything to see? Of course there is! The main attractions:

•     In the Cairo region are the Pyramids of Giza (including the largest Cheops) and the Great Sphinx.
•     In the Luxor region are the Luxor and Karnak temples, the Valley of the Kings and the Colossi of Memnon, and the Temple of Edfu.

The beach vacation is better in Sharm el Sheikh because of the geographical location. November and March are the real beach vacationers, but December, January and February can be cool, especially in the evening and early in the morning. And in Hurghada there will be an icy wind and sand.

Hurghada allows you to combine vacationing on the Red Sea with the exploration of Egyptian delights in Cairo and Luxor.

Be sure to indulge in either diving or sailing on a special boat with a deepened transparent bottom.

Kemer and the village Beldebi - popular not expensive resorts in Turkey, unlike, for example, expensive Marmaris with similar views. The views around are beautiful, but the sights are weak:

•     The promenade with Folklorik Yörük Parkı Açık Hava Müzesi is a 4-
•     Package excursion includes all neighboring attractions of Kemer: Phaselis Müzesi ruins, Olympos Teleferik cableway, Yanartas eternal flame, "Waterfall and Trout Restaurant" 3+
•     Geynük Canyon - a picturesque place for walking for 5+

Food in Sri Lanka is probably the most important issue to address.

A huge plus is the wide variety of fruits (similar to Thailand) with which you can substitute some food. Everything needs to be washed with soap or treated with boiling water. Prepare your own food, buying products in supermarkets in major cities. Once a week you can make a trip into town for groceries. In the local "mini cafe" and "rotilotochki" is better not to eat at all. At the hotel you can order breakfast, because it will include eggs and bread, and the Sri Lankans know how to cook them) For lunch, it is better to take rice and vegetables, they cook them very tasty and steamed! For dinner, you can take grilled fish, choosing it raw and personally control the degree of cooking. It's better to forget about meat and dairy products for a while - they do not have it or violated the conditions of storage ... What to eat then? Described above))

Colombo is a city of construction and smog. Tourists have nothing to do even for a couple of hours! The roads are jammed - you can get through quickly either early in the morning or late at night) During the day the whole city is buzzing with cars beeping!!! It is customary for them to signal that they are just passing next to each other...

We visited Macwood and Blue Field in the Nuwara Eliya region in 2017. The tour and tea tasting were free. In Unawatuna we found a store with the most delicious tea for us) Now we can't recover information about the factory and the province of cultivation.

How to choose tea? Super Pekoe, Pekoe, Orange pekoe, FBOP (Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe), Broken Orange Pekoe Dust - depending on your taste preferences. We like Orange pekoe because of its deep flavor and medium strength.

Where can I buy tea? Any specialty tea store in Sri Lanka. They are available on the waterfront in a wide range. In the mountainous regions of Kandy, Ella, Nuwara Eliya there are tea plantations themselves and the factories themselves. In the stores at the factories, the tea was more expensive than on the waterfront, because it is all packed. You can safely take tea by weight from open containers. You need a tasting beforehand, which is described here in detail).

What to see in Ella:

•     Ravana Ella Falls.
•     Little Adam's Peak and Ella Rock
•     Nine Arches Bridge

What to do in Nuwara Eliya:

•     A must-do ride on the Ella to Nuwara Eliya train.
•     Visit tea factories and taste tea

The animal world of Sri Lanka is a real zoo in real conditions! Especially a lot of interesting things are found if you get off the "tourist" route, move away from the waterfront... It is necessary to walk through the local village, where the "white" will be only you. Mass of emotions is guaranteed! Pets are found everywhere, along the road and in every garden local) That the ram crawls around, or a mongoose will run. If we compare with Phuket (Thailand) and Goa (India), in Sri Lanka critters more than 3 times!!! And how many mosquitoes!!! Take everything - fumigator for the room, spirals for the street, body spray ... might help at least a little)

Sri Lanka, where best to vacation in January - February?

•     Unawatuna is a great resort with fluffy sand, no wind or waves. Promenade along the road with stores and cafes. There are cafes along the beach. Lodging is plentiful both along the road and along the water.
•     Galle - good for supermarket and market shopping if you are vacationing in Unawatuna. You should also visit the site of the fort / fortress of Halle. For a beach vacation is not suitable. The wind is strong everywhere.
•     Mirissa is a great resort. Resting on the beach is possible only on topchans. Wind and waves can be, but insignificantly. The promenade is gorgeous along the water. Lots of accommodation along the road. Near the water there are great mini hotels, not really expensive).
•     Velighama is a fishing village. Suitable for recreation only surfers. You can come here for shopping and fresh seafood from Mirissa.
•     Ella and Nuwara Eliya - mountain regions - a must visit!

Rotterdam is a must-see to experience the atmosphere of the Netherlands and Europe. Walk along the river canals and visit several parks, including Rotterdam's Blijdorp Zoo. Visit the cargo port (one of the largest in the world) during a boat trip. Admire the "white swan" - Erasmus bridge. Do not forget about shopping - shopping malls are full of goods. The counters of supermarkets are studded with a wide range of products and fruits.

A good place to start is when to go to the Netherlands! It should definitely be summer!

What to see in the Netherlands:

•     Rotterdam can be used as a place to settle down. It is conveniently centrally located and will require at least 2-3 days of sightseeing in the city itself. Getting to neighbouring towns is easy and quick by train.
•     Delft and The Hague can be visited in 1 day. Stroll through the streets of Delft and have lunch at the Market Square. Take a train or tram to The Hague. There you can explore the castle complex and walk out onto the North Sea promenade!
•     Amsterdam can easily be explored in 1 day. On the way you can pop into a cheese shop in Gouda (nothing else to do in Gouda). Amsterdam is interesting for its architecture and canal city structure - a mix of Venice (Italy) and Wroclaw/Krakow (Poland). Daytime walking tour of the centre. In the evening visit the legendary Red Light District.

What to try in the Netherlands? Of course cheese - hard and noble mould!
