You don’t need a lot of money to enjoy your holiday.There are lots of good cheap hotels and restaurants,and of course you must visit the marks.You can buy all kinds of things quite cheaply,and don’t forget our wonderful fruit and vegetables.We have one hundred different kinds of fruits.Our beer is very good,especially if you add lemon and salt,so you must have a drink.
