Hi Ellie.

I’m so pleased you can come surfing(冲浪) in August！ Paul, Rose and Kevin are coming too, so there will be five of us. We've decided to return to New Sands, because the surf board hire(租) is so cheap there. I'm starting to think about where to stay.

Kevin wants to hire a caravan. There are some nice ones with 3 bedrooms, showers, and cooking equipment. The problem is, none of the caravan parks takes short bookings in the summer. We have to stay for at least a week. It's a shame because there are several nice parks near the beach.

There's a good youth hostel(青年旅社) in New Sands. It's the cheapest choice, and there's a big kitchen where we can cook. The problem is, we live in dormitories and I don't really want to sleep with strangers.

There are a few guest houses in New Sands. They're not expensive, but we wouldn't be able to cook there. We'd have to eat out at restaurants. We'll have to book soon because many of them are already full.

The final choice is to rent a cottage. Few cottages offer mid-week breaks in summer, but I found one. It has three bedrooms — a double, a single and a twin, so two of us would have to share a bed！ There's a big kitchen diner with a microwave, washing machine and dishwasher. The problem is, it's 5 miles from the beach, so we'd have to hire a car, because there aren't any buses.

Let me know which choice you prefer.

Yours,

Natalie
