Dear Swastika, Hows life? Thanks for the letter telling about your holiday activities. Last Lebaran holiday, my family and I went to the beach. We wanted to release the baby sea turtles from the Goa Cemara shore. Goa Cemara is located in Patihan, Gadangsari, Bantul. The walk to the beach was pretty far, but very shady. It felt like we're in the Twilight movie scene, a great for photo shoots! We only adopted 5 baby turtles, each turtle cost 10.000 rupiahs. The baby turtles were just hatched. I thought they were cute. I chose my turtle and named him Timothy. My sister Emma also chose one and named it Dora. Timothy and friends were very skittish in the box, then right when we set them in the sand, they immediately got still. We entered Timothy in the race. We were told by our guide, that before the race began, we should face the little babies south, so that when they came out to shore at night, they would remember which way to go. Cool, isn't it? And the race began. I could see how energetic they were. What I noticed was that when they hit the water and were pushed back by the waves, the turtles ran faster, as if knowing whats ahead of them. They're just about to get swept away by the ocean. I really hated to watch them leaving. It was my unforgetable experience with the baby sea turtles. Best wishes, Bella

Read the text to answer questions 23 to 25 Swans are the largest members of the waterfowl family Anatidae, and are among the largest flying birds. The largest species, including the mute swan, trumpeter swan, and whooper swan, can reach length of over 1.5 m (60 inches) and weigh over 15 kgs (33 pounds). Their wingspans can be almost 3 m (10 ft). Compared to the closely related geese, they are much larger in size and have proportionally larger feet and necks. They also have a patch of unfeathered skin between the eyes and bill in adults. The sexes are alike in plumage, but males are generally bigger and heavier than females. The Northern Hemisphere species of swan have pure white plumage but the Southern Hemisphere species are mixed black and white. The Australian Black Swan (Cygnus atratus) is completely black except for the white flight feathers on its wings; the chicks of black swans are light grey in color, and the South American Black-necked Swan has a black neck. The legs of swans are normally dark blackish grey color, except for the two South American species, which have pink legs. Bill color varies: the four subarctic species have black bills with varying amounts of yellow, and all the others are patterned red and black. Although most birds generally do not have teeth, swans are known to be an exception to this, having small jagged 'teeth' as part of their beaks used for catching and eating fish. The Mute Swan and Black-necked Swan have a lump at the base of the bill on the upper mandible.

Once I touched down a van was waiting for me to take me to the dock to board a boat, about 5 min drive. The boat ride was 15 min long and then I was at my vacation destination, Wakatobi! A man carried my luggage to my hut and I was amazed how beautiful it was, wood walls and flowing drapes around the bed. I did not have any problems with bugs of any type the 17 days I was there. I had a small refrigerator and an electric tea pot, I made coffee every day, I got up pretty early. I was in a garden hut, but also had a partial view of the ocean. Airconditioning was as cool as I would like, and a ceiling fan was also available. I like macro, but I also like wide angle, not a problem with the diving area. The reefs are the best I have seen anywhere, and that is why I will return time after time.

By the time I went home, she had booked me a ticket to the neighbouring island of Lombok for her friends funeral. A couple of days later, I found myself sitting inside a propeller plane for the first time. Anyway, we landed at an unexpected place. This island has a better airport than the more popular. It didnt stop there. The roads were big and clean. I mean seriously. This island is quiet modern. Oh, I almost forgot to mention. We had hired a private driver for our entire 3 day trip and he was extremely helpful. Not only is he a good and fast driver, but he knows his island. Every question my curious dad asked him, he could answer. It felt like we had Wikipedia as a driver. What I liked most about Lombok is that its not as directed towards international tourists, but locals, the mindset of the people wasnt as rough as of the Balinese. However, I did come across one where a lady tried to sell cheap batik on a deserted beach for RP200,000 (AUD$20). My granddad almost bought it out of pity, but my grandma dragged him out of it. As he turned his back on her, the lady said okay! RP15,000 (AUD$1.50). What a difference! But eventually, being the kind-hearted person my granddad is, he bought 5 pieces. Thats a great experience.
