A 400-word essay on an unusual travel experience

A unique trip

This summer, my mother took me to travel abroad. We went to Italy, Switzerland and France.

The most unique thing about this trip is climbing the Alps. Normally, we only see heavy snow or climb snow-capped mountains in winter. We don’t climb snow-capped mountains and have snowball fights in the hot summer. But on this trip, I climbed snow-capped mountains and had snowball fights in the summer. Because the Alps are covered with ice and snow all year round, it is winter all year round. In this hot July, we took the cable car to the top of the Swiss Snow Mountains. At first we could still see the green grass, and gradually we got into the clouds, and the vast white sky The clouds and mist suddenly surrounded me, and I couldn't see anything in all directions. I could touch the clouds with my hand. After passing through the clouds, the clouds slowly dispersed, and the white icebergs and snow peaks appeared, as if they suddenly entered winter from summer. The temperature turned from hot to cold, and everyone exhaled a white breath. Entering the ice cave, I stretched out my hand to touch the ice wall. It was so cold and icy. The cold ice wall stuck to my hand and I almost couldn't pull it out. It hurt. I was so sad. The "cold" ice cave is extremely beautiful. The light shining through the entrance of the cave flickers, bright and dark, and the ice cave is as crystal clear as pieces of crystal. Climbing a snow-capped mountain during summer vacation, surrounded by ice and fire, is indeed a unique experience.

Let’s talk about another unique experience, that is the “Gondola” in Venice, Italy. Venice is a water city, and their means of transportation are different from our usual buses, cars, or bicycles. They take boats when they go out. Whether they go to school, work, or buy things, they all take boats. The boats are called "Gondola" locally. They are specially made, either made of iron or wood. They have beautiful shapes and exquisite profiles. Each "Gondola" has plush seats in the cabin. , clean and tidy. We sat on the "Gondola" and sightseeed in the streets and alleys of Venice, swaying freely, and the rowing boatmen sang Italian songs from time to time. The singing accompanied us all the way, which brought us incomparable joy during the trip. Fun and spice.

Summer vacation travel brought me a lot of happiness, I also learned a lot of knowledge, and it broadened my horizons. Especially these unique experiences and feelings gave me a lot of insights.
