My Family Holiday to Costa Rica By Alice Tate, Age 11

This lovely account of her family holiday to Costa Rica has been chosen as the winner of our Families Writing Competition! Alice receives an Action Camera and a beautiful selection of books from Bloomsbury!

A few years ago I went on holiday to Costa Rica with my Mum and Dad. The trip was so fun! We saw all sorts of amazing sights that I never thought I would see like volcanoes and forests.

The best thing about our holiday was definitely the wildlife, creatures and animals we saw along the way! Not being much of a creature and animal lover it surprised me that this was the best bit of the whole trip.

At the time of the trip I was just 8 years old and it was quite surprising how much I enjoyed the 5 mile hikes and walks. We also did loads of activities such as zip wiring and white water rafting.

It was by far my best holiday ever!

We travelled around with a great guide called Jeff and when it was my parents wedding anniversary they brought us out for a really nice dinner of rice and black beans (a Costa Rican favourite).

We also went to see a Costa Rican school and they showed us traditional dances and taught us some Spanish. It was so much fun!

I enjoyed every second of this trip and I hope to do another Families Worldwide holiday soon!
