Dear Aarav,

You won’t believe the amazing trip we just had! Our family went on a five-day trip from Bangalore to Goa and we used different modes of transport for each leg of the journey.

We started on May 15th and took a bus from Bangalore to Mangalore. It was comfortable, though sitting for 6 hours made our legs stiff. We had lunch at a roadside dhaba and then caught a train to Goa. We stayed at a hotel near Panjim station.

The next morning, we took a river cruise through the backwaters. It was so peaceful! We saw dolphins and the sunset was beautiful. But the boat was rocking quite a bit and Dad got a little seasick. We spent two days in Goa at my uncle’s place in Calangute. We visited the beaches, tried water sports and explored some Portuguese churches. The seafood was delicious! On May 19th, we flew back to Bangalore from Goa Airport. The flight was just an hour and it was my first time on a plane. Flying above the clouds was an unforgettable experience!

This trip was so much fun. Have you been anywhere interesting lately? Let me know about your vacation plans.

Love to everyone at home.

Your friend,
