Sorry it's been a while since I last wrote, Dad, but we've had awful luck since we arrived in Australia. First our Safari tour was cancelled due to excessive orange dust and then when we went to the Zoo we found out we couldn't see the Koalas as there was a problem with their enclosure. I really wanted to cuddle a Koala, they look so cute! Leyla suggested we check out Bondi beach and take some surfing lessons which I was a bit nervous about since you know I am not the best swimmer. Fortunately for me the sea was really calm and so it wasn't as scarey as I had feared and so we all had a great time. Here we are with Sydney, one of the instructors, just before heading out to the sea. I loved her Mermaid tattoo - but don't worry, I'm not planning on getting one for myself! Hope all is well at home. Love Penny x --- Render 2/12 for a render-a-month challenge on another forum.
