Day 14

We woke up in the tent in Taupo where we went to the bar in the pool for a big breakfast it was quit good. After that Dad and I drove a hour and a half to the army bass at Waiouru that we went past on the way up. One thing that I wanted to do on the way up was go into the army museum but we didn't have time. So we decided to have a look inside it was very interesting. Dad and I drove all the way to Wellington for the night because we need to get on the ferry tomorrow so we can get home.

Day13

Dad and I started today with a 40 minute drive to a lake to see Andrew and his kids, we went on the biscuit because I miss our ones. Dad and I tried to knee board on the body board, I got up for a wee bit but it was to windy and slippery. Dad hopped in to try it but on the first go he tried to get up but he snapped the board in half. After the lake we drove to Taupo where there is a camping ground that has the only pool in NZ that has a swim up bar. So we got the tent up and went for a swim the water was so warm, it was a giant pool and had jets on one end and a movie screen with speakers so we could watch a movie while swimming, there was a 4 meter deep part in a man mad cave. By the way the pool is outside, the 4 meter deep part had a treasure chest at the bottom. The bar did food so we had pizza in the pool for dinner.

Day 12

We woke up in the morning to go and book a zip line trip, after that Dad and I played a game of mini golf then we went to do these things that have a giant fan to make you fly. After that we went to the zip line we drove to a native forest where we started the trip we did 6 zip lines, two walks and two swing bridges one with rails and one with no railing. The longest zip line was 220 meters long. Then we went up the gondola and went on the Luge. 

WHAT A DAY.

Day 11

We woke up in Andrews house for the last time.Dad and I went to look at water world which is a obstacle course on the water but it was to windy to do it, it was pretty sad (fun fact: we went to a similar place to water world in Australia it was very fun) After that problem we decided to head of to Rotorua where there is lots of activities. We decided to go to OGO Zorb Ball where you get pushed of a hill onto a track Dad and I went in one together and a bit of water. Surprisingly you sat in it and you only move when you want to move. We went down a straight normal track and we went down the longest track in the world which is zige zage track. Then we went the last track and the scariest track is the fastest track in the world but when you thought it was over its not IT IS THE STEEPEST TRACK IN THE WORLD!!!! 

Day 10

I woke up on anair bed in Andrews house Andrew is dads friend. Dad and I had breakfast after that we drove down to the hot pools and had a massive swim. Then we went to a swimming pool to watched Andrews daughter do her school swimming sports. After that I got a here cut it was such a relief to get it cut. Then we had some food, later on Dad and I went to Andrews house to get reedy for diner. It was a very good day and I hope you had a great day to.

Day 9

We woke up in Hot Water Beach at 8.30am to get a shovel and cruised down to the beach to find some hot water. We were the fist ones at the beach so we got a good spot. So we ended up staying at the beach for two hours before giving our hot pool up to some other travelers. It actually got to hot at one point that should give you a good idea how hot it was. After that dad and I drove three hours to Tuaranga where we met up with Dads old Friend (fun fact: Dad went to England with him to play league) now we are at his house for the next 2 nights.

 

Day 8

Last night Mum joined us in Auckland and stayed the night with us. Today started with meeting up with Ellie for breakfast after her first class at university. After that we took Mum to a bike shop in Mt. Eden for a few running repairs to make things a little more comfortable on her bike. Then we dropped mum off at the top of Mt Eden (fun fact if you didn't now Mt Eden is one of the old volcanoes that Auckland is built on) After we dropped Mum off Dad and I drove three hours to Hot Water Beach. But it wasn't low tide so we couldn't dig a hole to find hot water so we are going to do it in the morning.
