my perfect holiday
这个假日真的是个完美假日！ 我从南京出发，先到桂林。第二天一早就去吃桂林米粉和豆浆，那个店就在同学家楼下不远，里面还挂着去吃过的明星，具体是谁我记不清了，然后去磨盘山坐船游漓江，下午到达阳朔，我提前在网上定好了客栈第三天去了龙胜看天下奇观的龙脊梯田，一路见到了好多没见过的植物，有几个东西我记忆很深--百香果爬满了架，还有一个超甜的果子野杨梅，还有一个滑滑的猴头果接着去了南宁，住在同学那里，我一个人去看了德天跨国瀑布，摸了一下传说中的53号界碑然后从南宁飞去海南，在三亚玩了四天。因为那边没有熟人，我征了个驴友！ 先住在大东海两天，把大小洞天、南山、天涯海角逛了个遍，又去春园海鲜市场吃海鲜。给我的感觉海南人每个人都是托，每个人都有回扣！还好，我和我的朋友都很能砍价！ 后来我们在亚龙湾住了两天，运气超好，一不小心升级成了泳池房，推开门就能游泳！可惜那里东东太贵，我和朋友还从市里带了泡面！在五星级饭店吃泡面，估计除了我们俩再也找不到第三个人了总而言之，这个假期真的是个奇妙的日子！

,不必你,你很自豪地告诉所有的同事,这是您的蜜月。”平静下来后,不一会儿,我的丈夫决定。“第一套为打破。如果只有1%的机会,我们仍然需要努力。否则,将有机会为零。“我们回到了窗口和支付的签证费,”祝你好运“的收银员似乎更好一点给我们,这两个绝望的人。等待30分钟对我来说,它一直是有史以来最长的半小时。我不知道我是如何持续,我只记得,在这段时间里,我的手掌都出汗,我的脑海中旋转各种奇怪的想法。我看着谁回来的人不受签证官面谈。他们有种种表现,伤心,失望,兴奋和快乐。什么我会照顾我去那里?我不知道。“521,请在窗口2”的声音在我耳边开枪,我们跳起来了。阿好看的年轻姑娘和选址要求我们有礼貌,“你为什么去法国?请问你的妻子与你?““对于我们的蜜月,”我与我的脸笑着说,这似乎有点希望我。“请您给我您的旅行计划?”我们在相应的移交。然后,无任何豁免,她还要求我填写表格的非居民的伦敦和我回中国的门票。我把形式和我的眼睛与预期爬上。我们看到了她的文件,其上司的一段低声说。几分钟后,她回到了窗口,“别担心,这里是您的电话号码”。本人对我的丈夫,我们的眼睛去恰逢对方。我看到他的眼睛欢呼我们大家都知道会发出签证无疑给我们。这大约是中午,这个故事没有结束在这里,你永远不会知道,接下来发生什么。事情进展显着。当我们走出了大使馆,而不是下雨,这是一颗璀璨的水晶蓝天。阿风飞到我的脸,我从来没有如此有法可依,并在那一刻放松,一个美丽的歌我的耳朵挥手致意,我在这个梦一梦这是我完美的一天打开我的眼睛我知道这是我完美的一天。直到现在,我仍然不能相信这是真的。如果另一名采访我们,我们会失败。如果我们未能获得签证,我们不会有这样的未来在欧洲的迷人之旅。}
