My Dear Lovely Siti,
Hello
How are you, sweetie? I know you are angry with me because I am writing to you after a
long time. I am so sorry, please forgive me. You know we are in Lombok right now. It is so
beautiful beyond imagination. I am writing to you from this really cute little cafe on the
Senggigi beach. As you know, mum loves shopping, so she goes and will go for hours. I
took a rain check from shopping and decided to write to you while I enjoy my cup of coffee.
You know, yesterday we want to Gili Nanggu Island; it is a beach on the southwest of
Lombok. The place is awesome. It is so beautiful I couldn’t believe my eyes. There are
beautiful coral reefs everywhere. We went snorkeling and we saw the most amazing fish
ever. I wish you were here; it would have been much more fun.
Mum was making sure that we didn’t miss any sight of the whole city, so we had practically
been everywhere.
I have to go, mum is here. I will see you soon.
Lots of love
XOXO

Lana
P.S. I’m bringing you lots of souvenirs and pictures!
