The second boat ride

Yesterday we had an early start to the day, at 9:00 a.m. we went to the beach and got on are first boat. On our first boat ride of the day we went to a beach, we saw a three foot long sting ray swimming at the shore line and we went on a beautiful hike. When the boat picked us up for our last stop we went on a little walk to a swing bridge and a waterfall. After the walk we went to a different beach and walked out into the water about 100 metres! After that we got our last ride back we got a banana and chocolate chip muffin when we got back to the beginning at 5:50. When we got back we went on a big flying fox that was really fun. Did you know that a flying fox is a zip line, bye see you next time.....

The rugby ball

Today I drove to Kaikoura and I went on a ground trampoline, went in a pool and walked around the ocean. On the walk around the ocean we saw 6 starfish, hundreds of snails, about 10 seals, we saw 2 shags and some sea urchins. Tonight we got our apartment near the ocean. At our room there's a really big blow of wind that's going to last a few more days. My mom scared me when she screamed because she almost stepped on a seal. After we went to a store and bought an all black rugby ball. Did you know that the All Blacks are one of the most famous rugby teams of all time in the world wide league.

The Waterpark

Today I went to a awesome mini golf course about 2 hours after I woke up this mourning. After mini golf we went write to a waterpark with a lazy river, two water slides and one toilet bowl, three thermal pools, three hexagonal pools but only was open. My favorite water slide was the toilet boul which starts with a tube which leeds to a boul and then drops into another tube which finshes the ride at the bottom. Today I'm going back to the water park after I eat dinner.

Different Pengiuns

Yesterday we drove to Oamaru, in are hotel room there's no washroom. We have to go out of are room to go to the washroom and have showers. After we went to bushe beach and saw yellow eyed penguins and seals. My dad went down to the beach because he saw people walking on it when they werern't aloud. My dad showed us that there was a baby penguin, in a nest we think.
Today my dad locked the keys in the cars so we went mini putting well my dad worked to get them out. When he got the keys we went to the Morueka boulders and we climed the boulder's. When we were finished climing the boulder's, we forgot my bathing suit so I went in the salt water in my boxer shorts. We also went to another sanctuary and saw hundreds of seals and about 13 yellow eyed pengiuns. Tonight we're going to see blue penguins. Blue penguins are about one foot tall and weigh about two pounds. Blue penguins stick in groups called a raft which has about 20 to 30 blue penguins in it.

Lord of the rings hike

On the ride to Glenorchy we saw hundreds of sheep running in the middle of the roadToday I went to some lord of the rings filming spot's to some hiking. Me and dad were hiking for two hours. We hiked in between 8 and10 kilometres in a forest where the lord of the rings was filmed not to far from the hike.

Milford Sound

Milford Sound                                                                                                                        

Hi, today was my first night in Milford Sound and I went to a cool lake called Mirror Lake Lake.   There's an upside down sign, but when you look into the lake the sign says  mirror lake. At mirror lake I saw my first robin and trout in Milford Sound, New Zealand.

 Later, I went on a cruise that was 2 hours long. On my cruise I saw about 25 seals flopping around, sleeping and waving on the rocks. I also got soaking wet under the cool waterfalls. My captain on my cruise said that there's many different species of sharks around where we were on the cruise. He also said that they've seen a five and a half metre great white shark swimming next to one of their other cruise boats in the same spot as us.

Afterwards, I saw a family of four kea birds, with two babies and two adults. I was disappointed because I didn't see a kiwi bird. People from New Zealand said you can only find kiwi birds in captivity. I saw some not very exiting ones like a lot of ducks and geese. I also saw a lot of sheep, some horses, deer, el paca and dairy farms. After the cruise I also went through a 1273 metre long.

Jet boating

Hi guys.   Three days ago I went on a shot over jet, which is pretty much a jet that goes 85km an hour. I felt like I was going to puke. When I was on the  shot over jet I got so close to the sides of the river and I got soaking wet.

 I tried Vegemite and it tastes like termites. Before jet boating, I went gold panning at the Chinese settlement in Arrowtown.  We went through some huts, stores and we saw a lot of different ruins. The Chinese people went to New Zealand to get gold from the river. After I went gold panning I got a vanilla milkshake that was the size of my moms foot.

 I learned more about cricket and rugby. Late two mornings  I got on the road again for about two and a half hours. After lunch I went to an awesome park with a lake close to it and it was pretty warm in the lake. I swam in two different places of the lake. After I played mini golf with Braden and then me and Braden got two Popsicles when we got back to the cabin.

Oh,I forgot to tell you I was just in a glacier lake with a piece of wood with a rope to swing on with my brother and Thea. I bet you guys aren't suntanning in Canada. It's 17 degrees here in Queenstown but I bet it's not 17 degrees in Canada.

The Final Countdown

Hi guys as you know tomorrow is my last day of school until the spring and I will be skipping school on Tuesday because I'm going to Toronto and staying with my grandparents . I might go to the airport early if it's snowing so they don't have to worry about driving us. Did you know that a few sayings in New Zealand are : "Bob's your uncle" which means "Well, there you have it " , also "Get off the grass" means "stop pulling my leg, get out of here, no way!" , chicken is called chook in New Zealand and my family is going to be called loopies .Can you guess what that means if you can't it means your a tourist.
