My Skydive! Today we all went skydiving. We were supposed to go at ten but it was too cloudy but by 12 the clouds had moved and we were ready to go! I have never been so nervous in my whole life. Before we went up they showed us a DVD of what to expect if we bought the DVD. I thought to myself there is no way that I am doing that, but then I spoke to the woman who was talking us through it and I thought that I can do it. We had to wait for the plane, while we we...

On Friday we went to Waitomo after leaving Rotorua in the morning. We arrived in Waitomo at about lunch time.

We left the hostel at about 3.45, we were picked up in a minibus and we were taking to the caving place. Wemet our guides who were called 'Josh' and 'Vee' and then we got kitted...

We went down some waterfalls and then we got to the biggest one, it was 7ft tall! It's the biggest waterfall that you...

Hey everyone! I am now in Rotorua. We left Mercury Bay early this morning and we arrived here at about dinner time.Mercury Bay and Anita's Birthday We left Auckland early to get to Mercury Bay. On the bus we had an option to go sea kayaking to Cathedral Cove, so we decided to do it and were very lucky to all get a space, as the coach was really full. We got to a town called Harhei where we all got into the kayaks. Me and Anita went in a double, as did Rob and Jam...
