Dear Grandpa and Grandma,
Stockholm is fantastic!
Its weather is perfect, sunny all the time! Our hotel is good. It has a swimming pool and a gym. It offers delicious breakfast. Yesterday Mum, Dad and I rented three bikes and cycled to the Old Town. My parents wore their helmets and I wore mine. We visited the Royal Palace first. What a beautiful place! Mum loved it. She said, “Swedish art is amazing.” After that, we had “fika”, a coffee break, in a traditional café. Everything is so wonderful!
Wish you were here!
Love,
Mai
