caves


I went in two caves. In the first one I went on this long boat ride to see glow worms. Glow worms are actually the larva stage of a fly.

My day in Rotorua


I went zorbing it's this big ball that you go in an you roll down a big steep hill with water in the ball not a lot of water though. I went on a really strong fan that blew me in the air. It's called free fall X treme body flying. I went on this really fast boat with a pro driver that went 70 km and he took sharp turns.

my flight to New Zealand

The weather in San Francisco was bad so our connecting flight from Chicago was late departing. We ended up missing our connecting flight to NZ from the San Francisco airport. United Airlines gave us a voucher to stay in a hotel nearby. My brother and I slept on the floor in the terminal while we waited for the voucher.

The next day we were all pretty tired so we went to see a matinee.
The theater had stadium seating. We to see National Treasure Book of Secrets.

We flew on Air New Zealand from San Francisco to Auckland, NZ. And the plane had TV screens for every passenger. You could choose different movies, TV shows and video games. I watched The Simpsons’ movie and Garfield. The Simpsons’ movie was not listed in the kids’ section on the video menu.


On the plane from San Francisco to Auckland, New Zealand, I accidentally left my DS on the plane when we left. I think it’s lost but my dad says that they will find it
Also our luggage did not arrive with us it went to Australia.
It’s summer in Auckland where we landed in NZ. People are wearing shorts and t-shirts
The first thing I did when I landed is New Zealand was I went to my home in Whakatane
