Hi Martin!
Sorry, I didn't reply to your last letter, you will not believe, but there is absolutely no time.
I'm glad you come to my place on your holidays, but I'm sorry, I can't meet you at the railway station because just at this time I will be passing my test driving.
But it's very easily to get from the railway station to my house. Take a bus number 124 and go a total of six stops. You need to get off the bus at Park Chopin stop.
Go ahead about 50 meters and turn right on Voikovsky Street, go pass the Bank and the following house made of red brick is mine. My sister will meet you at the gate. All the way from the railway station to my house won't take more than half an hour.
Looking forward to our meeting.
Best wishes,
Vova
