Read the postcards and answer the questions.

Dear Mark,

Were all having a great time. The weather is fantastic and the hotel is perfect. There are a lot of other English guests and weve met a nice couple from Essex. Were going out for a meal with them this evening. The babysitter speaks good English, so its easy to communicate.

Hope youre well.

Rachel XXXXXDear Nigel,

Well were here at last. Everything seemed to go wrong on the way here. There was fog at the airport so we just sat there for three hours. Then there were no vegetarian meals left on the flight. Finally, the coach wasnt there to meet us when we arrived. We took a taxi and it cost a fortune. Id like to say the sun is shining but it isnt.

Love

Moira

Dear Geoffrey,

Youre right about the glacier its spectacular! Were sitting in a caf looking at the mountains. Theres a volcano in the distance, but we dont know which one!

Thanks for the guide book, its been very useful. Its too bad youre not here with us.

Hope your leg doesnt hurt too much.

All the best

OswaldPhil,

Just a quick postcard to say when you come here in September, you should not, and I repeat not, go to Atticcolli beach. It was very crowded and the water looked particularly unhealthy. Theres a much better beach a few kilometres up the coast. Ill tell you all about it when I get back.

Stay cool,

Lionel
