Hi Paul
10 July '99
I really ( mean ) to write to you as soon as I (get) here, but I (be) very busy sightseeing, as
you can imagine. I (hardly / have) five hours of sleep a night since I (arrive), but it's worth it.
London is even more beautiful than I (think). I (have) the holiday of my life!
I ( stay) in a very nice youth hostel not
far from Madame Tussaud's. There are lots of young
people from all over the world and we (make) friends with some very nice looking French girls.
And we (be) lucky with the weather so far. It (rain) on the day we (arrive), but we (have) sunny
weather ever since. I ( already / see) the main sights, some of them even twice. I can tell you I
(like) the Tower a lot, and St. Paul's is astounding. We (go) there on Sunday morning, but we
(not/be allowed to ) go up to the galleries while the service (be) on, so we (have) to go back
there on Monday. Of course we ( see ) the Whispering Gallery and (check) if you could actually
hear what someone (whisper) near one wall when you are on the other side of the gallery. Then
we (climb) all the stairs to the Golden Gallery and we (feed) our eyes on the view. You (never see )
anything like it, I'm sure, and I (be sorry) you (not come ) with us. You would have
liked the Tower, too. I'll write you more about it, but now Big Ben (just / strike ) seven and I
have to meet the group in ten minutes. We (not/buy) any souvenirs yet and we ( not be ) down
the Thames, so this is what we (do ) tonight.
So that will be all for now. I'll be in touch. Take care and give my best wishes to the others.

Yours,
Dan
