Dear Bella and Bobby, Thank you SO MUCH for letting us stay at your villa. It's gorgeous, and we're having a fab time looking after it and enjoying the view of the mountains and the lovely olive grove. I figured out the bus to Ercos on the first day here—it's as easy as you said! And Miguel's son Juan is helping us take care of everything, so you needn't worry at all! Love, Laura

Dear Mel, Okay, it's not a dream job. The kid is alright, but her mom treats me like a personal slave/shopper/chef. And she's vile to the pet iguana who is now my only friend—sad or what? Maybe I'll run off to San Francisco—maybe my next postcard will be from there! Wish me luck! xoxo, Rowan

Dear Mike, Arrived at the old villa 3 days ago. It's all blue shy, white walls and heat here—you'll see. Jade's' already heading for trouble and I can't suss Sarah out. Hope you and your mates are having a blast on your trek, especially without me dragging you down. I bet deep down you're glad I bailed out. Ill see you before this postcard even finds you. Miss you!

Hi Abby, Bet I'm the last person you expected to get a card from. The island is hot and beautiful and brilliant, but you were 80% right about Davinia. No—90% right. She's totally self-centered and she's trying to force me to date this creep! I'd sooner slit my wrists because I'm in love with someone else. He's gorgeous but he hates me. Aren't holidays supposed to be relaxing?! Abby, I wish we hadn't fallen out. Maybe see you when I get back? Lots of love (honest!), Chloe xxx
