We arrived at the hotel at nine o'clock in the morning.

Our room was in front of the swimming - pool on the third floor.

My brother Mark and I put some shorts and went into the pool.

Mum and Dad visited the city.

The following days were a lot of fun.

We went to the beach in the morning. Then we come back to the hotel to have a shower and lunch.

In the afternoon we walked in the city, went to the local zoo, ate in restaurants, drank tropical juice, did a lot of shopping and talked to the local people.

They spoke Spanish and a little English.

We also wrote postcards to our friends in Britain.

My brother tried water-skiing and I tried windsurfing.

It was fantastic!!!

At night we went to discos and danced until 4 o'clock in the morning.

I got a Majorcan T shirt and took many photos.

These were my favourite holidays ever!!!
