The best holidays I've ever had

In the summer of 2011, my very best friend called me one day to invite me to her family vacations. In that moment I didn't imagine what was she talking about, I thought that it would be a trip to the beach or maybe to a lake, but no, it was a fifteen days trip around South America in an all inclusive cruise.
A funny thing was that the ship set sail on my birthday day from Rio de Janeiro, so my mother had to signed a permission for me so as I could travel to Brazil the day before my 18th birthday, but then I didn't need it to get on the cruise because I was already 18.
Why were those my best holidays?
First of all, I was living a dream traveling with my best friend, I love her so much and we always have such a good time.
In second place, I knew a lot of places in just 15 days: Río de Janeiro, Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Ushuaia, Falkland Islands, Cabo de Hornos, Punta Arenas and Valparaíso, and on all of those places a saw incredible things, different landscapes , architecture, animals and local traditions.

Another reason for these vacations to be unforgettable, it was the people I met. There were very little young people in the ship because there were mainly retired people, so we made a very united group with all the adolescents. I'am still in touch with some of them!
At night we used to go to a band show that were called Brazil Connection, and we went so often that we ended up being friends with the members of it.

Finally, the food on the cruise was amazing! There were like 3 places that served buffet, so we could eat anything we wanted and all we wanted. Sometime we went to the main restaurant were you have to wear formal clothes because The Captain was there.

I think this trip was this special because of all the laughter and funny moments that we lived. I will remember it all my life.

I hope someday all of you guys have the opportunity to do it.
