Day 9
I got up at 7 am to have breakfast. I didn’t sleep very well. I kept getting up and aunt tracy woke up with a headache. We had breakfast at the hotel. After breakfast, we walked over to where we seemed to have bought everything. I bought a pair of red slipper shoes, another outfit (pink), a panda, and a chop (stamp) with ink. I still have all of these too. We went back to the hotel shortly and left to go on a three hour cruise. We went to Haagen dazs and had a double soop of “cookies and cream and tiramisu.” Aunt tracy had a caffe latte. On our cruise, there were tables to sit at. I had pepsi and gum. Appetizing. Tonight we are having our farewell dinner. I wore my light pink dress from America. We went to bed earlier than usual. Wow I had so much to say about this day…
