Dear Haru

Today we climbed another mountain. I wish I could say that, though, more accurately, it was a hill rather than a mountain. It was the top point of the island, about 70 – 100 m above water surface. It was not hard to climb at all, but the sun was hard on us and we had to turn around once we found out we had found the wrong path up the hill. It led to another building about half way up. Ren and Ran were both exhausted and we were almost out of water so we went back down and returned to the hotel.

Now, I started in the middle of everything. Actually, my day started out by me getting up around 6 in the morning, because that is when the sun raises. I went down by the beach as quietly as possible as not to disturb anyone. They say the sunrise should be a beautiful sight. That is why I went. I sat on one of the chairs, it was still fairly cold, but then mother came and sat with me. We were also accompanied by a cat that fell asleep in my lap. It made me miss that cat I use to say "hi" to in the morning while waiting for you, that little white one. This one refused to get off me once we had to leave. Mother had to pick it off me and keep it away until I got back on my feet. It really got attached to me. It was cute actually.

It was later on that day we went up the hill and after buying some water, we went back to the hotel and spent some time in the pool out front. Apparently everyone in my family had a stroke they wanted me to teach them. So I taught everyone some swimming today.

We went out in town later and have now got a time for a boat with a glass bottom tomorrow and snorkeling equipment is rented by the same people. So the plans for tomorrow are set.

We ended up having dinner at the same restaurant as yesterday, again it was a good experience to have at that place.

Now I better stop writing. Ran is going to tell us a story and demands our attention. I am sharing a bed with Ren tonight, to make things fair. I do not know what the plans are about that for tomorrow, but we will see what happens.

See you.
