Hi, Alan,

Just a quick postcard from Powerfun Summer Camp. It's my last day here and I have
had so much fun. On the first day, I woke up at five in the morning and went sailing
all day. We were really lucky because the weather was perfect. The next day we went
hiking in the mountains. I was in this forest with my friend John and we got lost. We
didn’t have a compass and it was a nightmare! Luckily, we found our way back to
camp before it got dark. I haven't done many water sports, but I went bungee
jumping. That was amazing! Today, we're going to try hang gliding. I'm a little scared,
but I think it's going to be fun. One week isn't enough, I can tell you. I want to stay
another.

See you soon,

Billy
