Writing about a holiday Model Dear Chilli, I had a fantastic holiday in Uruguay. It was hot and the sea was green and lovely. I travelled by plane from London to Montevideo. I really enjoyed the flight. It was twelve hours long, but I didn’t sleep at all because I was so excited. During the flight I listened to music, watched a film and talked to the girl in the seat next to me. I stayed with my aunt and uncle in Montevideo. They invited me on a trip to a farm near the sea in Rocha. It was brilliant. On my last day there we went to Cabo Polonio, a small fishing village. It is full of young people. They also listened to reggae music! I didn’t get to bed until three o’clock in the morning! See you soon! I hope your gigs are going well. Love, Della
