There are lots of very pretty fish, Mum says there is something called the “Coral Reef’ which is very precious, and we get to go diving tomorrow to have a look at it. Yesterday we went for a walk and we saw a funny looking animal that had 2 legs which it bounced on instead of walking, really small arms and its very own pocket on its belly that it carried its baby in, how funny!
