3.5 SAMPLE POSTCARD

Dear Eszter,

Greetings from Chessington World of Adventure!

I've had a fantastic day here with Peter and Marcsi. We got on a lot of great rides. My favourite was Dragon Falls. It is a water ride, it goes up Eszter Nagy high then goes down really fast, and there is a big splash at the end. We all got wet! It was really thrilling! Unfortunately, we had no time to get on the Rattlesnake. Next time!

Hope you've had a nice day, too. See you soon! Eger Templom út 27. Love, Hungary Gabi H-3300
