Dear Betty,

It’s a  shame  /  nightmare  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  seasick  /  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  missed  /  lost  our way. It was dark and the roads all looked the same. I admit we felt very  confused  /  relieved . Then, from out of nowhere, a passer-by appeared and gave us directions.

Our  good  /  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  /  secure .

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

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

Love, Vanessa
