An awesome holiday recount!

Holiday Recount:

Finally back to school... NO! My holiday has been filled with so many adventures, I didn’t want them to end. I have been up to so many things and if I describe them to you, we would be here all week. So instead I am going to list them all down for you.

First we went down to Taupo which took about a 3 hour drive we booked into the Hilton Hotel. We arrived at Taupo around 2 o’clock we had to check in at 3 o’clock. So my mum and I went to the Huka Falls.

Once we arrived there it was cold and windy. But the water looked like a lovely light blue crystal. I was amazed my mum and I went around the edges at the top of the water taking pictures of the breathtaking views.

That was our first stop. But if tell you more we definitely will be here all week. Here are some of the activities that we got up to and some of the places we got to eat at.

• Swimming at the hotel pool. Which was very warm and relaxing
• Rapid Jet Boat ride down the Aratiatia dam
• Small Huka boat cruise down the…
• My mum did the bungy swing. Where you would do the bungy
• We ate at the Cobb & Co. The steaks there were delicious
• On Monday and Tuesday we went to Dixie Browns for breakfast
• We watched 2 guys with 19 years of experience do glass blowing
• At the glassblowing gallery we went through the glass garden, which had beautiful glass pieces that could have taken hours to make

Well... That’s what I had been upto in Taupo. I’m pretty sure that I did a few other activities but I just can’t remember the name of them. Those three days down there were a big blast of fun!

Now we move on to what I did in Rotorua. Once we arrived there we had a bit of trouble finding the Holiday Inn (that was the hotel we were staying in) But once we finally found it we were tired and hungry. Check in was around 3 but we got there around 2, we didn’t want to wait another hour so we wandered in and headed straight to reception to check. Luckily our room was ready.

The activities that we did down in Rotorua were entertaining, frightening and plain old AWESOME! Here’s a list of the exhilarating rides that we encountered.

• On a rainy day we saw the beautiful Kuirau Park
• Skyline Adventures
• Gondola ride up to Skyline Adventures
• The terrifying Sky Swing. It was fun when you were swinging. Not as much when you’re facing straight down at the ground how many meters high
• My mum did zip lining through the forest
• I had a chance to go to the Jelly Belly Shop while I was up at Skyline Adventures
• After Skyline Adventures we didn’t want to wait in a humongous line to go on the luge, so instead we went to the other side of the mountain to go to Agroventure
• At Agroventures my mum and I went on a jet boat ride doing a proper speed boat course with a professional driver hitting G-Force
• After the loss of energy from all the activities on our last night we got a voucher for the Fat Dog. Great size
• We ate at Ciccio Cafe. Were I had the most divine fettuccine pasta ever
•  Another place that we ate was Mac’s Food and Wine. They do a pretty rockin’ steak.

All of these activities really wore me and mum out. So once we got home we wanted to crawl back into bed and have one big long nap.

Our piggy banks were kind of piggy broke when we got home. Although I couldn’t go to sleep just yet I had to clean my room. But that was fine because we were able to have an awesome holiday just the two of us. Without any disruptions and noise. This was the best holiday that I have ever had in my WHOLE LIFE!
