During the holidays, Jiordyn invited me to go to Rotorua with her and her family. It was quite a long trip there, on the way I think I dozed off a couple of times,when we arrived there it stank really badly like rotten eggs,Jiordyn and I slept in bunk beds. The next morning Jiordyn and I went kayaking and her father took a dingy up this river and we went a long way out. It was scary because i thought that i was going to fall out into the deep waters, the water was really choppy too. i was the first to reach the little island and i was basically kissing the ground, once we were on our way home her dad towed us home by ropes with his dingy,that was a bit scary too. i was at the back with a rope tied to the front of my kayak which lead to Jiordyn kayak. Afterwards we both went for a swim and had lunch. on the way home we stopped at these hot pools, i had never been to one before as you walked down the hot pool river it got really hot,so hot that it felt like fire,i didn’t go that far because i probably would of melted!after that we started on our way home,i had a awesome time!

During the weekend just past( 15th,16th,17th)I went to sound splash 2008, my mothers best friend and her daughter and husband took me there in raglan, sound splash is famous reggae bands playing there music, thousands of people went there and most stayed the night, it was held on someones farm,there was lots of little shops and food tents setup all over the paddock, my favorite tent was the kids zone,you could draw make necklaces, face painting and all sorts! next to that were two bouncy castles which i jumped on a lot! there two very steep hills next to each other,the main stage was down in between them,lots of kids were picking up cardboard boxes and sliding down the hills, it was so fun! but overal, the most exciting moment is a long story, it was about 10 o’clock at night and me and jasmine wanted to go inside and wrap our selves in a blanket , but we didn’t realize that we had to have a guardian to get back in, Jasmines parents had gone for a while,we tried walking in but then the security guards stopped us and carried on about how we need a parent, the man told us to sit in the corner and don;t talk to anyone till our parents come back, then he called a policeman and told him to take us back to Jasmines parents, It was fun
