Nombre:Fecha:

Escribe una postal o un mensaje de vacaciones sobre dónde estás, qué hiciste y qué piensas hacer después.

Greetings from the mountains

Dear Grandma,

Greetings from the mountains! We're staying in a little wooden hotel next to a lake. The weather is cold but sunny, and the air is so fresh.

Yesterday we walked for five hours to a waterfall. It was hard work, but the view was amazing. In the evening we ate hot soup and played a board game by the fire.

Tomorrow we're going to take a boat across the lake. I'm going to send you lots of photos!

Lots of love,

Jamal

Hi Lena,

I'm writing this from a café by the sea in a small fishing town. We're staying in a flat above a bakery, so every morning smells of fresh bread! It's hot and sunny and the sea is very blue.

On Monday we hired bikes and rode along the coast to a lighthouse. It was a long ride, but it was great fun and we stopped for ice cream on the way.

On Friday we're going to visit an island with lots of birds.

See you soon,

Sofia
