WOW! That is a large forest;)
Bericht - 18 november 2018 om 06:01 uur
(14 nov.) The day before yesterday, when we came off the boat, we went to the WOW museum. It was super weird. There were cars and outfits. The outfits were all unique. Some were made of paint and fabric, others of foam, three were made of cuddle toys, but all they were perfect for carnival! A few were glowing in the dark. It gave them a cool effect. I mean, have you ever seen a dress with two sides, one white, one colourful, glowing and both made of little balls? I did. When we were by the cars, my dad and me made a lot of pictures (...)1 reacties • Plaats een reactie
The Great War
Bericht - 11 november 2018 om 21:13 uur
(12 nov.) Yesterday, we arrived in Wellington. Hundred years and one day ago, the first world war (Great War) ended! In New Zealand it is kind of a big thing. When it started, New Zealand had ±1 000 000 inhabitants. 100 000 (10%) of them went to Europe to fight. 18 000 of them died and 40 000 of them got injured. We went to a museum. There was an exposition about the Great War. First the soldiers thought that the Turks (they we’re the enemy) were easy to beat. Maybe 1 000 of themselves were expected to die, but not more. They would beat them immediately (...)3 reacties • Plaats een reactie
Rotorua
Bericht - 11 november 2018 om 21:09 uur
(9 Nov.)
Yesterday we went to Rotorua. It’s an old Maori village. We saw (and smelled!) geysirs and mudpools. The Maori believe that once someone went to New Zealand and climbed a mountain, challenged by the snow on its peak. But when he reached the top it was so cold he almost froze to death. His sisters decided to help him and transformed into heat. They travelled through the earth to their brother. When they came out of the earth they created the geysirs and mudpools of Rotorua. We also saw people studying at the University of Maori Art. They (...)

KIWI'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bericht - 11 november 2018 om 21:06 uur
(8 nov.) TODAY WE FINALLY SAW A KIWI! We went to a bird-rescue-centre (and fish). There we took a tour. Our guide (Felicety) brought us first to the house of the kiwi’s. We saw two of the three. One was sleeping, the other one was searching for food. They were so big like chickens. Did you know that the kiwi makes, if you look to their body, one of the biggest eggs? They also have nostrils on the end of their beck. Kiwi’s are birds, but they can’t fly. Maori believe kiwi’s gave their wings and sight to keep the ground clean of insects that infect the (...)0 reacties • Plaats een reactie
Hot Water Beach
Bericht - 11 november 2018 om 21:04 uur
(7 nov.) Today we went to Hot Water Beach. It thanks its name on digging holes. It sounds weird, but if you dig a hole on the right place, there comes warm water in it. On some places it is too cold, on other places too hot, it is just trying and hope you’re on the good place.We were lucky. Two guys just left. They had a hole on a good place with warm water, so we took it. It was really nice. When we left, we gave it to two other people from Holland. They were really happy with it.
See photo 7 Nov.

If anyone knows a place we MUST go, let me know!
A new camper and a stingray
Bericht - 06 november 2018 om 22:33 uur
(6 nov.) Today, my arm already feels better. I am a little bit exited, cause we finally have a camper! Again. This one is mush bigger. The last one was too small. It was impossible to do something if someone was just on a random place. Now, you can do something if everyone but you is on a random place. Or, you know, on a random place that is not where you want to do something (what actually counts on every place). Yesterday we spend all the time renting this, but then you have something. My parents have a big bed, I have a bed above the drivers (...)4 reacties • Plaats een reactie

My mum booked the trip to south island!
Bad cats!
Bericht - 06 november 2018 om 22:30 uur
(4 Nov) When I write this, my arm hurts. Why? A cat attacked me. With my father I went to the beach. On the way back there was a red cat. He attacked me without a warning. We went to a hospital. They looked if I wasn’t infected. I was not, but it still hurts! We took a picture of a list with a doctor alphabet. It was literally impossible to read. Try it, and you’ll see the D looks like an E, an A is just three bubbles with a line and that the doctor was a woman (she also is on the picture, but it (...)1 reacties • Plaats een reactie
To the end of the world...
Bericht - 03 november 2018 om 07:53 uur
The day before yesterday, we went to cape Reinga. It was a long road, it looked like a road to the end or the world. There was much wind, but still it was amazing. There were standing a lighthouse and a signpost to the South pole, Vancouver and London, to call a few. The next dag we went to there again. We walked down a road (if you ask me it was to long) to the beach of the Tasman sea, named after a Dutch explorer. They say he founded New Zealand, but he didn't. It was nice there.
