Personal Letter with pen and  paper 

35 Senggigi Raya

Lombok

75009 Nusa Tenggara Timur

 

12th January 2018

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 café on the Senggigi beach. As you know, mum loves shopping so she went and will be gone 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 went 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 for snorkeling and we saw most amazing fish ever. I wish you were here; it would have been much more fun.

Mum's making sure we don't miss any sight in the whole city, so we've 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!
