text: Loreen: Sorry, dear Melissa, that I so abruptly disappeared from our chat yesterday. All of a sudden the connection was gone, which was as they explained to me due to a thunderstorm in the vicinity. Well, we heard it but never thought it could kill internet connection. Apparently in Mexico it can!
  Loreen: When I look at your photos now, I notice how well wrapped up you are. Icy wind on Belchen! Gives me shivers. But the views are stunning.
  Melissa: I guessed so much. No need to apologise, Loreen.
  Melissa: Any plans for a New Year's eve party?
  Melissa: We have already booked the same holiday apartment on Lake Constance we stayed in before. Peter is quite sentimental about it.
  Loreen: No, we do not really care about it.
  Loreen: A splendid idea. I remember you both liked it very much. How many times have you been in this flat yet?
  Melissa: This time it will be our third. Where will you be?
  Loreen: In Cuba, I think. But it's not sure yet where exactly. We'll have to do our bookings soon, as we'll probably have no internet there.
  Melissa: That's bad! How many weeks in Cuba?
  Loreen: 4 Long, eh?
  Melissa: Not when you're travelling around. Are you going to rent a car again?
  Loreen: No, not in Cuba. Too much hustle. They are said to have cheap and good public transport. Car rentals have rather prohibitive prices.
  Melissa: Oh is that so? I thought everything is cheap there.
  Loreen: Dunno yet. We'll see. What's the time your end?
  Melissa: 2:18 pm It must be early morning in Mexico now.
  Loreen: 8:12. We'll soon be going down for breakfast. Have a nice afternoon Melissa!
  Melissa: And you two a great day!
target: Loreen lost her Internet connection. Melissa and Peter have booked a holiday apartment on Lake Constance for New Year's Eve. Loreen might spend 4 weeks in Cuba. She won't rent a car. Loreen will go down for breakfast soon.
