My Holiday

My Holiday

On Friday the 7th of October Erica and I were packing our bags so we were ready to go to Tauranga with my big sister Teri and her boyfriend Terence. We put our best clothes into our bags. After that we waited on the step with excitement. At quarter past two a flash car rolled into the driveway. Teri and Terence have arrived. We said goodbye as we pulled out of the driveway and headed to Tauranga.

It was a long but eventful drive to Tauranga. Our first stop was Te Kuiti. In Te Kuiti We got a snack and went to the Toilet. After that we continued or journey. We went through Kihikihi, Otorohanga and Te Po then we finally got to the Kaimai range. We drove up and up and up until we came to a halt. I gazed out the window and saw a long string of cars stretching across the land. As the line started to move we saw why we stopped. Bright red metal scattered across the road. Broken glass shined before our eyes as a red car lay on the side of the messy road with a tarpaulin over it. R.I.P whoever was in that car. As the car climbed down the steep hill the lights of Tauranga sparkled brightly. Calling us forward.

Finally we arrived at Tauranga. The water of the bay glistened as the car crawled across the long bridge. Seagulls waved hello as we drove along the side of the yellow beach. When we got to Terence's home we had to meet his family. We met his mum Karen, his sister Tia and his other sister Sapphire. After the introductions it was time to go to bed.

The next day, after a relaxing morning at home we went to enjoy the city. The first thing we did was get lunch at Dominos. Then we went to the Memorial Park. When we got there we sat on a hill and there it was, melted cheese dripping off every slice and the baked to perfection crust shined in the sun. The pizza was delicious. After that we went to a indoor pool called Baywave with his little sister Sapphire. We slipped into our togs and went straight to the wave pool. When the waves came I swam in fear, trying to escape the powerful waves but I was to slow. The waves slammed me against the wall as I tried to escape. After Baywave we went home.

The next day we had to leave Tauranga. We packed bags and put them in the car. We said goodbye as we pulled out of the driveway and began our trip back to Ongarue.

It was really fun in Tauranga and we really enjoyed it.
