Male Female

In my last vacation, I went to Cox's Bazar with my family as we needed a refreshment to remove the hectic monotony from our lives. We selected the train journey because it gives the opportunity to observe the outside scenery through the windows. We booked a very simple hotel. After reaching the hotel and unpacking, we refreshed ourselves and directly went to the sea beach. Though we were very tired, a kind of energy came into our bodies after seeing the sea. As it was my second time visiting Cox's Bazar, I wanted to make some different memories. As a result, I did some unusual things, such as booking a long drive to enjoy the main drive together. I selected some different outfits to take various photos; in the morning, I wore a white sari at the sea beach, and at sunset, I wore a royal blue gown. Those photos were vibrant and fascinating. We also explored the local market and bought some pickles. My father gifted me pearl jewelry, and the food was very delicious, including tuna fish, Bombay duck, fried seafood, and so on. I am eager to enjoy this food again. This journey and the entire vacation were delightful because of the Cox's Bazar visit.
