Three Italian elderly women went on a holiday for the first time outside their village, when they saw sea, which for some of them was first time, they could not resist but to jump into the water and play.

These women were from a small town in Italy, and according to BBC news they had never left the valley surrounding their village until they went on a 12-hour coach trip to Croatian island of Ugljan.

“As I saw the sea, the first thing I wanted to do was to put my foot in the water,” said Iolanda Pellizzari, who at 73 was the youngest on the trip. “I’m not able to swim, but I felt a great sense of liberation.”

Armida Brisaghella added, “Despite the infirmities of age, swollen legs and the great heat, we will never forget the thrill of getting all together in the sea, holding hands.”
