Dear Mark, Guess where I am! I’m at the adventure camp. I came here last Sunday, and I’m having a fantastic time. I’m staying in a small hut with five other boys, and they are really very funny. So far, we’ve tried horse riding and hiking. We went horse riding yesterday, and I loved it. I hope we go again. Today, we went hiking all day, and I’m exhausted.

We haven’t tried mountain biking yet. The mountains are only five kilometres from here, and we’re going to go there on Thursday.
