Hi Lizzy,

just a quick message. My skiing trip is great. On the first day we went to the top of snowy mountain and took  some photos of the view. We stayed on the ski slopes all afternoon. But then we got tired and went to bed early!

On the second day we made some new friends but we didn’t go skiing again, we decided to go ice skating. It was excellent!

Yesterday was very cold so we had a hot luch and ate some tasty sausages.

Lots of love, Vicky.
