Hi Madison
How are you? We are planning our holiday for this year at the
moment. I really want to do some mountain walking in the
Alps or even the Himalayas but Paul says he wants to go on a
more relaxing holiday!
Last year we went to Bali. It was amazing! The sea was
beautiful – clear and blue, and you could go scuba diving
from the beach. The food was delicious too – lots of fresh
seafood and fruit.
Do you have any holiday plans? Send me an email sometime.
It would be great to hear from you.
Love
Izzie
