Dear Maja

Thanks for your last letter. I hope you're ok.

I'm writing to you from Zakopane. I came here with my family last Friday and we're going to leave on February 21. We're staying in a nice boarding house, not far from Krupówki. I'm sharing a room with my sister Ania. We spend most of our time skiing. The weather is great. Yesterday there was a snowstorm but today it is very sunny and quite warm so the conditions for skiing are fantastic. Just after breakfast, I went with Ania and our dad to a ski run in Białka. We were skiing for nearly 6 hours so now I'm very tired. I'm going to spend the whole evening in my room, writing letters and postcards and listening to the music. I must get some rest because tomorrow we're going to climb Gubałówka and then to ski from its top. I had a funny adventure today. I lost one of my ski poles when a ski lift was pulling me up the slope. Fortunately, my dad found it.

Ania wants to learn to snowboard, she has already had two lessons and she enjoyed them very much. She says that I also should try but I don't think it's a good idea.

I'm having a good time here. On the day when we came here, I made friends with children of the owner of the boarding house. They're very nice and we play together in the afternoons. Two days ago we made together a huge snowman in the garden and yesterday we had a snowball fight.

My brother caught cold and he can't go skiing with us. He's staying in bed, taking some medicines and complaining about everything. Fortunately, he's getting better and maybe tomorrow he'll go to the ski slope with us.

That's all from me. I must finish now because my mum's calling me for supper.
