I’ll write to you when I come back, and tell you what it was like.

Well, I must go and finish my homework--I’ve got lots to do before the holiday. I’ll write to you when I come back, and tell you what it was like.

I think ‘was’ should be changed into ‘will be’. The writer is talking about future. Am I right?

Thanks.

No, because by the time the writer writes the letter, the holiday will be over so it will, in the letter, be in the past.
