The Beach

Hi everyone at Botany Downs..... sorry it's been a while since I blogged but I've been at the beach! We are in Nha Trang at the moment and I have made an amazing discovery.... there is a family of squirrels living in a large tree right outside my window!! I've been having so much fun making new friends and playing with them. Miss Wright is lovely but all she wants to do is sit on the beach and read her book... BORING!! I've tried to get some photos of my new friends so I'll put them up when I can. I think we are here for two more nights then off to Saigon to get the plane home again. Can't wait to see you all.
Much love

I was being nice here and fanning Miss Wright's feet, she was too hot to move and I was getting tired of sitting still.


Can you believe this is a dog? I thought it was a dragon and he growled at me a bit for a while. We soon became friends and I was allowed to sit way up high, it was a great view.



I'm thinking of entering this shot in New Zealand's next Top Model competition. Oh and that was some temple thiing in the background.


Horse riding in Vietnam, we didn't get far but it was fun.


Originally there was a big stone sword here but it got broken hundreds of years ago so now I can sit here instead.




This is Miss Wright's idea of total bliss...... I got bored after 10 minutes.

Arriving in Hue

Hi everyone
Miss Wright told me you are all on holiday now so I hope you're having a great time. I spent 16 hours on a train yesterday going to a place called Hue. I think I was a bit naughty because I kept asking Miss Wright if we were there yet and she got a bit tired of that question. She made me go to bed early. Today I am going for a bike ride (got my helmet) to the beach for a swim. I can't wait. A local possum told me it is a great beach so I will ask Miss Wright to take some photos for you.
See you all soon
Love Percy



I asked if I could sit on Mr Reid's hand here to get a good shot of Halong Bay in the background...



During the night there was the BIGGEST THUNDER AND LIGHTNING STORM EVER...... I was very scared and hid under the pillow. Miss Wright was trying to get me to come out but no way!!!



Breakfast is about to be served..... I made it through the dark, scary night by the way.






The people on the boat were trying to get Miss Wright to buy lots of stuff.... she said it was very expensive stuff and she wasn't old enough to wear pearls. I thought they looked quite pretty.


I was only allowed a soft drink at the bar.


This is a recipe for spring rolls. Mr Reid got to make some and then we ate them for lunch....yummmm


After lunch I got very thirsty... you can only drink water from a bottle here, never from the tap! I was told that the water in Vietnam is not as nice as in New Zealand, what a shame.


Get your motor running.......

Thanks for the message guys! I felt a little homesick for a bit but Miss Wright has let me look at the school blogs so I feel better now! Please keep writing.
Lots of love

Good Morning Vietnam...

We were up really early this morning so we went for a walk around the lake. It was so hot and muggy that Miss Wright's camera was all misty. She tried to get some photos of me to share with you so I hope they have all worked. It was so hot that I tried to climb a tree the get away from the heat but it didn't help, I also tried to ride a bike but my legs were too short to reach the pedals.....
Miss Wright is off to have her breakfast now so I'd better hurry up if I want to eat.
Lots of love
Percy

Cheese!


Fan harder Aaron, oh the heat!! It's too early to be this hot!!!



It's not quite the same as home but a tree is a tree....


Can you spot me?

This one I mangaged to take of all three of us.... I think I look great but Miss Wright and Mr Reid have been trying to delete it all holiday....

I made it...

Hey there to everyone at Botany Downs Primary (especially room 7)... I have made it to the very hot and muggy land of Vietnam. My fur is a little too much over here but I was told by a local dog I met that I will soon get used to it. I spent most of today sitting under the air conditioner but will hopefully be brave enough to head out with Miss Wright for longer tomorrow. The food is different, there must be millions of motorbikes here and I am not good with the language but by crikey I'm loving it. I hope you are all being good for Mrs Macro and I will try to leave another post as soon as possible.
Lot of love from Percy
P.S I have got lots of photos to share with you..... I especially loved the giant seat on the plane.....
P.P.S Maybe Mrs Macro could show you where I am on the map.... Hanoi, Vietnam


I am ready to go!!!



  At the airport and boy are we excited.....



Is this my plane?



I am the COOLEST possum on the planet!!!


Miss Wright thinks we are two of the cutest people ever.


While we were in K.L I made some friends at a very posh shop, Miss Wright said we couldn't afford anything here but I was allowed to chat with my friends for a while.



I was too tired to walk by this stage so I asked Miss Wright to give me a lift.


This is the view from our hotel window.... it was very busy!




I think this is where Miss Wright fell asleep at the airport....


I have absolutely no idea where this was taken, neither does Miss Wright, but I do look cute.
