A long drive is worth It
I took a long daunting three hour long drive before stoping in the stinky city known as Rotorua.Phhhew the smell was terrible. As the stinky gases filled his fluffy nostrils I wanted to jump straight back into the car. but I stayed still. I stoped in a hotel and had sausages in bread for dinner(If only the air smelled like this food).In the morning I took a car ride through rotorua and saw the Gondela so he ended up heading up the Gondola.

When we got up the gondola and I look around and spied the luge. I had a look at the tracks and decided to do the advanced track twice and the Intermediate track three times. Unfortunately we couldn’t bring our camera to and down the louse so we couldnt get any photos.After we headed back down the gondola we looked at the time oh my golly gosh we were meant to leave 1 hour ago.
So it began the second half of the daunting 6 hour drive to Auckland. But time passed quickly this time because we all had a bag of chips and a 2.25litre bottle of coke with us. When we arrived we stayed with some relatives of Kane18 who had a large golden labrador but he didnt like photos.After a good night sleep we had to cool off so we headed down to the pools.I got forced into the rocketslide it was terrifing(but it cooled me of). About 3 hours later I headed back to Kane18’s relatives house. “Holly molly” was all I could say when I saw the clock it was 6 oclock we were caught in Auckland’s dreaded rush hour but I had fallen asleep and not noticed.
The next day I went with Kane18 headed to the zoo and saw loads of animals like a tiger, a rhino, a hippo, wallabies, lions and even a crocodile. My favourite was the croc.

This lion was scary!

We headed back to Kane18’s relatives house to have dinner and get some sleep. The next day we headed out to New Zealand’s favourite themepark Rainbows End. The carpark was packed and the queue was big but it still only took a few minutes. When we got inside the big guy inn a costume called Bo gave us a map of the park. After a tiring day we headed out to the log ride for a finalie which is a nice and very calm ride. BUT WHEN YOU GET TO THE END AHHHHHH is what you’ll say because you drop 15 meters at a 140 degree angle.
Now for the good old trip back to the classroom desk ……..

You were lucky to get to go to Auckland.
Mini Dylan had to hide in my handbag and stow away to get to go to Auckland.
Have fun.
