Hi Lucie!

I [am writing|write] to you from the beautiful island of Majorca, in the Mediterranean. Jake and I [were|have been] here a week already and the days [flew|have flown] by! We [were staying|are staying] in a cute little hotel right next to the sea. A friend of Jake's [recommended|recommends] it to us and, I have to say, the view from our hotel window [is|are] just incredible!

So far, we [had spent|have been spending] our time exploring the island and lying on the beach during the day. We [also did|have also done] a lot of sightseeing. We [have visited|visited] the floodlit Cathedral and the Almudaina Palace.

However, we [hadn't been|haven't been] to Belver Castle yet. In the evenings, we [check out|checked out] the local nightlife and, of course, the local cuisine! Last night, we [had drunk|drank] Hierbas. It's a Majorcan speciality and it's delicious. I [will bring|have brought] some back for you.

[Did|Have] you know that Rafael Nadal comes from Majorca? I [haven't|didn't]! Anyway, someone [tell|told] us yesterday that he [plays|is playing] in Palma this weekend. We [have tried|are going to try] to get tickets. I hope we'll manage to! See you soon!

Love,

Charlotte
