Dear Chris,

Hi Chris! How’re you? I hope that you and your family are good. We haven’t met since we got together last year. I’ve just got your letter. and I think I can help you decide the best choice for you.

To begin with, you really should visit Rome in your next holiday. We enjoyed our last summer vacation there and it was a fantastic trip. We stayed at budget-friendly hostel to be able to visit as many places as possible, so I recommend The Fountain Hostel in the city center. Further more, we visited many touristic places, such as The Colosseum, Trevi Fountain of Rome, and Sistine Chapel.

Additionally, you should hire a bike to enjoy the city’s sightseeing, also, you shouldn’t miss the opportunity of trying thier cusine, it’s so delicious and plenty of tastes, such as their pasta and pizza.

I hope this will benefit you; till I see you, say hello to everyone.

see you soon,

Mohamed
