Vacation Diary(1)

At ten o'clock in the morning, my husband and I set off from home and drove to our vacation destination---Slovenia.

If you take the highway from Austria all the way, if everything goes well, you can reach the hotel we booked---GRAND HOTEL PORTOROZ (Portoroz) in about 4 hours. In other words, you can check into the hotel at 2 p.m.

After about two hours of driving, the traffic we saw in front of us slowed down and there was a traffic jam! We slowly drove into the long queue, parked and waited. I can't see the end in front of me. I wonder how long the traffic jam will last. The radio was in Slovenian and I couldn't understand it.

The weather was very hot at noon, and the sun made my legs and arms hurt. When I had nothing to do, I took out the fruits and bread from the trunk. We ate and waited.

At this time, I saw that the lane in the other direction on the side road was not blocked, and many waiting vehicles began to turn around and drive to the other side. My husband looked at the map. If we were to drive out, it would be a good idea to take a detour on a country road. Although the journey is longer, the scenery on the roadside should be good. It would be better to take a look at the countryside scenery than to be stuck here and worry, right?

In this way, we were driving on the country road in Sri Lanka, enjoying the scenery along the way. Judging from the housing structure and business style, Sri Lanka's economy is indeed worse than Austria's.

Northern Austria is located in the Alps, which is somewhat similar to Austria, but different. There are large olive trees and vineyards planted on both sides of the road. There are also many fig trees, but the fruits seem to be small. I wonder how they taste?

For those who have a garden, the garden is well maintained, with flowers and grass, dotted with their own style. There were very few residents seen on the road. Everyone must be taking a lunch break at the moment, right?

I originally wanted to find a restaurant in my hometown and experience Sri Lankan food. Unfortunately, the two of them had already eaten when they were stuck in traffic on the highway and were not hungry at all. Forget it, we will talk about it when we get to our destination.

We arrived at the hotel at around three in the afternoon. The location of the hotel is really good, opposite the beach, the surrounding area is very commercial, and it is very convenient for eating, drinking and having fun.

When we got to the room, the structure of the room was acceptable. Because we booked a sea view room, we had a good view. We put our luggage away for a while, washed up, changed our clothes, and went out for a walk.

First we found a restaurant near the sea, and we found a seat by the sea and sat down. My husband said, let’s have a “welcome beer” first, and then ordered food.

We went here for vacation two years ago. At that time, we stayed in another GRAND HOTEL. The location and scale were much better than this one today. Unfortunately, they had no room this time, so we chose this hotel. Got this one today.

In order to make the vacation relaxing and convenient, the room we booked includes breakfast and dinner. We just ate out at noon. I don’t know how the dinner here is?

The two of us came out of the restaurant and walked along the seaside. I took photos while walking. Although it is September, there are still many adults and children traveling, some swimming, fishing, cycling, and sunbathing ===.

We are not going to swim today, so we will take a walk first.

Dinner at the hotel starts at 6:30 pm. Dinner is a buffet style, and the seats of the guests are fixed. Most of the waiters speak German or English, and there is no barrier to communication.

There are many guests staying in the hotel, so the hotel divides the guests into two batches for dining, the first batch at 18:30 and the second batch at 20:00. We are the first batch. To be honest, there are not many varieties of food on offer, and the taste is not to my taste. In addition, there are many people and people have to wait in line to eat, and the atmosphere is not very good, which is quite disappointing for me. But my husband said it was good, maybe it was the difference between Chinese and Western diet.

After dinner, I have to go out for a walk and eat. We walked slowly in the other direction of the hotel.

It must be because of Saturday. Many nearby residents came to the beach to spend the weekend. There were so many people on the street that everyone completely forgot about the existence of the epidemic.

There are two large casinos near the hotel. During the day, various advertisements are displayed on the large display screen of the casino; at night, various gambling elements are displayed, including China's golden copper coins and the God of Wealth. I rarely see Asian faces on the street.

Are all the people from country Z in the casino?

The streets, seaside restaurants, and bars are filled with loud singing and wild music. I wonder if it is native to Sri Lanka or the tune of some other country? Anyway, all kinds of sounds mixed together become noise. People in dancing skirts, casual clothes, and bikinis are swaying and twisting, and the atmosphere is so exciting! I swayed unconsciously.

Back in the room, I closed the window tightly. Throughout the night, revelers shouted all night, especially in the second half of the night, drunk people ran to the street and shouted. I was woken up from time to time and could not have a good rest. I thought, if this happens every day, then this holiday will be over. .

The next morning, there were still young people screaming in the street.

Oops! It’s great to be young, how energetic is this? !
