A1: The best holiday I have ever been on is a very difficult question to answer because I've been on so many excellent holidays... I guess I've been very lucky. In the summer time back home, when I was young, my family used to go to the beach and we'd camp under the stars...that has always been an excellent memory for me. But, I'd have to say that the most wonderful holiday I've ever had was when I was 19, when I went to Minnesota in the United States for a summer camp experience. It was just so much fun! I met over 200 teenagers and we participated in some excellent camp activities! Let me see... we had swimming in the lake, where the camp was situated. We also had water skiing, which was excellent fun... it was really difficult to hold on to the rope while the boat pulled us around the lake! Another fun activity was camping. We... our dorm... went on a 3-day canoe trip... I think there were about 10 of us in our group... which took us to the Canadian boundary waters. There I saw some of the most beautiful alpine scenery I've ever seen in my life! The lakes were so clear and we could drink the water from them by dipping our cups as we canoed along... it was just amazing. I wish everyone could witness the incredible beauty we saw on that trip. Let's see, what else? Ahh yes, there were basketball and volleyball which we played in the big indoor gymnasium. Some of the Americans were really good basketball players... they even had cheerleaders at some of the games! I got to know so many people. In fact I still write to some of the people I met there... you know, isn't email a great way to keep in touch? There were other things but I can't think of them at the moment... I will say this: I would love to go back there again in the future. Now, of course I'm too old to be a camper but it would be excellent to be a staff member—they are always looking for volunteers. If you volunteer at the camp they pay for your food and accommodation for the whole summer—and that's around 3 months in America.
