We have just arrived at the hotel. We are unpacking our bags and we will go to the park this morning. We are going to have a picnic and eat sandwiches. After the picnic, we will go back to our hotel and watch a film. On Sunday, we are playing volleyball on the beach. When we get back, we will pack, go to the train station, and go home. This is our first day and we are very excited. I think we will have a great time.

Yours,
