Before the dinner

As they wait for paella, Pingu and Momo-chan went out for walk. Momo-chan was happy getting a better view.

Momo-chan was going down the stairs to get to the poolside. He is getting more and more steady but stairs are not easy as he doesn't have long legs.

Paella

Although it was a bit of a struggle with peeling shrimps,  paella was very tasty. Momo-chan enjoyed out as well.
