We arrived at the hotel at nine oclock in the morning.
Our room was in front of the swimming pool on the third floor. My brother Mark and I put some shorts and went into the pool. Mum and Dad visited the city. The following days were a lot of fun. We went to the beach in the morning. Then we come back to the hotel to have a shower and lunch. In the afternoon we walked in the city, went to the local zoo, ate in restaurants, drank tropical juice, did a lot of shopping and talked to the local people. They spoke Spanish and a little English. We also wrote postcards to our friends in Britain. My brother tried water-skiing and I tried windsurfing. It was fantastic!!! At night we went to discos and danced until 4 oclock in the morning. I got a Majorcan T shirt and took many photos. These were my favourite holidays ever!!!
