Dear Annie,
I can’t wait to tell you the news! Mum and I arrived here in Bulgaria
yesterday afternoon. Our plane was a little late because it was
snowing and the weather was awful. A bus was waiting at the airport
and it took us to the hotel in the mountains. This is a beautiful small
hotel. Our room is large and very warm. When I look out of the
window, I can see the great white mountains all around us.
This morning we went skiing. It was fantastic! Some people went
higher up the mountains but I didn’t because I am not very good at
skiing. You can ski all day but I got very tired and came back to the
hotel about 3:00.
The food at the hotel is wonderful. Last night we had some
traditional Bulgarian dishes. I really liked the banitsa.
I met some nice people yesterday. They are a little older than me.
Some of them are very good skiers. Tomorrow we are going to the
nearby town. First, we are going shopping. Then we are going to eat
at a special Bulgarian restaurant and finally, we are going to a
concert. Two famous Bulgarian drummers are going to perform.
I am having a wonderful time here. Bye for now.
Love,
Nelly
