The summer in the UK

This season is really the beautiful weather in the UK. It isn't so much the rain as last year. I like being in England because almost every single day is pretty sunny at the moment. I wish that as nice as now would be in all the summer as well and I'll be able to enjoy that time going to sea area and some trips around the UK. :-)

Last week in Slovakia.

Last week I spent at my hometown in Slovakia. It was a great time with my family and friends. Although I was busy I could enjoy many things which I miss in England. I visited The Aqua centre with many interesting attractions like a sauna, a massage in beautiful enviroment near Slovakian mountains the Tatras. Also I visited the old castle in my hometown. Even though I have been there many times I liked looking at new presentations at museum.

The Lake District

I and my housemates were in the Lake District on a hiking trip two weeks ago. It's a National Trust area near to the towns Kendal and Keswick. This area is absolutely different to Oxfordshire. There are a lot of hills and lakes as well. It's really a great place to go to do some hiking. During our stay there for two days the weather was different. The first day wasn't so nice but still it was very interesting walking up to the hill when a visibility was just a few meters because of the fog. Fortunately in the afternoon it became much nicer than in the morning. The second day was much better because the weather was so fantastic. We walked about 8 kilometers in a really beautiful environment with a waterfall and other things nice to see. I enjoyed this especially because I took some pretty pictures with my camera. Some of them you can see on my website www.peterbenko.eu. I really recommend this part of England to visit.

Last winter in Oxford.

I have a nice memory of last winter in Oxford because of the snow. The winter in the UK is usually without snow. For native people snow is uncommon. Therefore when one morning the country was under snow it was a really unusual situation. Everything suddenly seemed to be interrupted. The buses and trains didn't run, the airports in London were closed and on the roads was limited driving. Many things in the city were more different than before. For me snow is quite normal because my city in Slovakia is close to the High Tatras mountains and every single winter we've got snow. For this reason I liked it and I decided to go to the city centre to take some pictures of winter Oxford. On my way I could see a lot of people making snowmen. It was possible to see that they enjoyed ''the white Oxford'' and had fun as well. :-)
