I went shopping with my cousin Gaia 2 days ago. I had 50 Euros to spend and Gaia had an emergency 50 euros for me. I bought lots of stuff. Mum says I should write a sentence in Spanish about what I bought. Yo compré pantalones cortos morado y floreado y pantalones blanco, azul y floreado. Me gusta comprar con me prima Gaia.  I bought more suff like a green jumpsuit, an ammonite necklace and a treble clef necklace. We got home at 12:30am! It was really fun. Also that day we went to Altea and went to a chocolate cafe. We got 24 churros and chocolate to dip them in.

We are at the house in Spain with my family. We have gone snorkelling and I have seen an octopus! It is was cousin Tabitha's birthday yesterday. It is really hot and the sea is warm! I bought a mini bean bag snake called Cleo and Torin bought a mini bean bag frog called Stu (short for Stupid). Yesterday we all went to swim in a waterfall. There was a HUGE queue to get in and it was freezing! We've seen flamingos on a lake! There were lots of grey baby ones. I've seen lots of geckos and lizards and even some bats!

We are in Spain and have left the campsite we were staying at with the Arnolds (our friends). I bought a fan and keyring as souvenirs. We have been going to the beach and snorkelling a lot. I’ve seen lots of fish that look dull but are shiny or have a really nice pattern. There was a diving board on a rock into the sea that I jumped off. I made a new friend called Daisy who was staying at the campsite. She is from England and is just going into yr 7. There was a pool at the camp that I went in. The first time I went in it 5 policemen came to close it! They said it was because there was too many chemicals in the pool. We have stayed in a camp in France with a Boulangerie van that stops at the village first. We got there first at the village and bought all the croissants and pain-au-chocolat. They were great.
