Dear Mother & Father,
This is a quick note to tell you that we have arrived safely and that we are having a really wonderful time. The flight was very good and we arrived at our hotel in time for our evening meal. The hotel is quite a big one and it has lot of facilities, including a swimming pool. The weather here is much better than at home. Sometimes it rains a little at night, but it's sunny during the day. So far we haven't done very much - mainly swimming and lying around in the sun, but at the weekend are taking the bus to the capital where we want to do some shopping. If the weather will be nice next week we'll go sailing. Today I have to write all my postcards. I want them to arrive before we get back home on Sunday. We're all well, especially Saman, who has a new friend. He's a student who comes from Kandy. We're looking forward to see you. Hope all's well.
Lots of love,
Dayan
