Hi Peter,

Hi Peter,

How are you? I hope you had a good week. I have a great idea for the weekend, so please read this carefully!

The weather forecast says it will be sunny on Saturday and Sunday. Why don’t we go to the coast? I checked the train times. The train leaves at 8.15 on Saturday morning, and the journey takes about two hours. A return ticket costs thirty euros, which is not too expensive.

I have already found a cheap guest house near the beach. It has a double room for two nights, and breakfast is included. The owner is a very nice lady. She told me that we can borrow bicycles for free.

This is my plan. On Saturday we are going to swim in the sea and have fish for dinner. On Sunday we will ride the bicycles along the coast and visit a small lighthouse. We must come back before nine o’clock in the evening because I have to work early on Monday.

Please bring a hat, sun cream and comfortable shoes. I will bring sandwiches and some water.
