Dear Betty, It’s a shame you didn’t come with us to Sicily. But, to be honest, our trip was a bit of a disaster!

First of all, the place we stayed at was absolutely fantastic. We took lots of pictures and sunbathed. Unfortunately, I did overdo it this time and got sunstroke. I felt so sick that I had to stay in my hotel room for the next two days.

When I felt better, we decided to go out for dinner in a small village near Palermo. We had a lovely time and the food was great! Unfortunately, on our way back we lost our way. It was dark and the roads looked the same. I admit we felt very confused. Then, from out of nowhere, a passer-by appeared and gave us directions.

Our bad luck that night didn’t end there. On the way to the hotel, we heard a strange noise and the car stopped. We had a flat tyre! Jason quickly changed the tyre and after a long evening we finally returned safe and sound.

Anyway, we tried not to let a few incidents spoil the rest of our holiday.

Let me know if anything interesting happened while I was gone.

Love,

I am writing to you from the beautiful island of Majorca, in the Mediterranean. Jake and I have been here a week already and the days have just flown by! We are staying in a cute little hotel right next to the sea. A friend of Jake’s recommended it to us and, I have to say, the view from our hotel window is just incredible!

So far, we have been spending our time exploring the island and lying on the beach during the day. We have also done a lot of sightseeing. We have visited the floodlit Cathedral and the Almudaina Palace. However, we haven’t been to Belver Castle yet. In the evenings, we check out the local nightlife and, of course, the local cuisine! Last night, we drank ‘Hierbas’. It’s a Majorcan specialty and delicious. I will bring some back for you.

Did you know that Rafael Nadal comes from Majorca? I did not! Anyway, someone told us yesterday that he is playing in Palma this weekend. We are going to try to get tickets. I hope we manage to! See you soon! Love, Charlotte
