The Holidays were the HOLY-DAYS!!! (Did you get the pun?)

Hello people of the world and welcome back to my blog!!!! If you don't know this is the first post of term 4 which means I just came back from the holidays. Because of this I am forced to write about something I did in the holidays so today I am going to write about my trip to Hamilton with my family!!

On the second Tuesday of the holidays my family and I started our long drive to Hamilton. On the way we ate some breakfast and lunch, as well as picking up my dad's cousin who is visiting New Zealand for a while. When we arrived at the holiday home we unpacked all our things and watched a movie to finish of the night. 

On Wednesday we went to four different places. An "ice age" themed mini golf place (which I lost to JL by 6 strokes), a rock climbing place which was really fun, An escape room where you had to solve puzzles and locks to escape in under 60 minutes which is harder than you think but we still escaped in 57 minutes (which is 6 minutes of the record) then we visited my dad's friends for dinner. My favourite thing we did that day was the rock climbing because I kept racing my brother on some walls.

The third day was ,to me, okay. We started off by doing a 10 minute walk to a waterfall which was pretty cool until we found out that there are 4 different viewing platforms, one a right next to the top of the waterfall, one on the same level but farther out, a midway view 135 steps down, and a view all the way at the bottom 126 steps down more. The best part of it was climbing all the way up (btw; it's 261 steps all together which is more than climbing up to the fifth floor of the beehive.) And if you think that's hard, half of the steps were over half a metre and I'm not even exaggerating.


After that we drove to Raglan and ate lunch there which was great! Then we visited the St Mary Cathedral somewhere in Hamilton and after that we came home. For dinner we had my dad's friends came over for dinner until around 9 or 10 pm.

The next day we packed up everything and left. We dropped by Taupō to have lunch then we drove straight home and unpacked.

So that's about it for my first post of the term and I'll see you guys next week!!!
