Swimming

We have started and most of us have already Improved since the start of the year. Those that aren't the best at swimming are not completely bad. They all have their own style, technique and most of all talent, by talent I mean some people are good at backstroke some are god at freestyle.

I am a swimmer that's not bad and not good, I don't try out new technique's I go with the ones I know and can do well.

North

Im back in the north island and im really happy to see my friends i can't wait till its the end of school.

 

It's only 2-3 weeks left of school and 11 people are leaving. The year 7s are lucky to have mr Marquand staying.

Puzzling world.

In wanaka there is an illusion and a maze in the puzzling world. 

It looks like I'm sitting but this is just a cardboard sign.

Milford sound is 1 of 2 sounds in New Zealand. We took a cruise through Milford sound and many wildlife including penguins, seals, kea, dolphins and many more.

Bottom

I've arrived in bluff and I am going out to Stewart island today. 

Our caravan 4 years ago went to Cape Reinga, and now it has gone from top to bottom of NZ.

 

We have been to several water falls and forest walks. One of which was called Niagara Falls which was said to be one of the smallest water falls in the world and I mistook it for the one between Canada and the states.

Panarama at lanarch castle.

Dunedin

This is the Cadbury chocolate factory mountain of crunchies.

One of the first trains at the Dunedin railway station.

Looking down the steepest road in the world,Baldwin street. At the steepest section it's 1m up for 2.8m across. It's 161m long and 47m high.

Last day of the tour

At mt cook.

For the start of the oamaru heritage weekend cycle i have been dropped of with family and friends at Mt cook and tomorrow  i am cycling 75 km to twizel. 

Because of heritage weekend we have to dress up in Victorian clothing, i wear trousers with bracers and a light shirt.

Many tourists have stopped and taken pictures and videos of us because of our clothing. 

I am extremely astonished about the size of Mt cook. It's four times the size of pirongia
