A letter from Italy (informal letter, ellipsis of words)

Hi,

Writing this in the cafe. We are in Venice, this is the 5th day here. We are in our second week of our two weeks away.

We spent 3 days in Rome, hotel was amazing, safe and clean. We did some shopping and walking, then we went to Venice by train. We did sightseeing and visited some relatives and of course went shopping.

Tomorrow we'll be going to Milan and planning to go sightseeing, shopping and visiting friends. I think we'll be back home on Sat, of course we need a rest after this amazing weekend.

Well, until again Mum.

Love,

Me & my friends

A letter from Spain (informal, ellipsis of words)

Barcelona, Spain

Hi,

Writing to you while attending a live music concert in Barcelona. Flew to Madrid in May 1st, then stayed with friends for five days. Had a nice trip by tour buses around Madrid, been also invited for Paella - it was delicious. Had an amazing time with friends. Madrid is a crowded city, a bit hot like Tripoli. Been for a picnic in the forest - had barbecue.

Now watching live open concert, sunset atmosphere is unbelievable. Going to Alps in France tomorrow by train. Can't wait for my first time on ice - skiing and swimming in the lake.

Going back to Spain on the 13th directly by bus, then to Libya on Sunday 14th. 

Will write again. Take care.

Regards,

A Postcard from Yefren

This place is very interesting. It's in the west, it's 200km away. Yefren is an old city. We have to walk. We can visit some amazing places. You can ride horses and about 100 people come every year. You can have a picnic. I think it's a beautiful place.

Wish you were here.

The Desert - a postcard

This place is amazing. It's not far from the cities, just 200km. We travelled by 4WD cars. The weather is hot in the day and cold at night. There are a lot of rock mountains. There's nobody here except us, but sometimes we meet some people with camels.

Wish you were here!

A Postcard from the Desert

I'm in the east of Libya. It is the biggest desert of Libya. The weather is very hot and the one animal which can live there are camels. You can travel by camel. It is difficult to travel in the morning because it is very hot.
