My holidays in Rotorua

      My holidays in Rotorua

During the holidays me my uncle my aunty and my cousins Preston and Joseph went to Rotorua for Preston's birthday on Saturday the 8th of October .

in the morning we woke up very early got ready then we got in our seats I quickly got to my seat so nobody would take it. On the way to Rotorua everybody was talking and everybody was happy it wasn't a real long ride and since it was Preston's first time to Rotorua and he was filled with excitement.

In Rotorua we stopped at the city centre to have a look at all the fun things to do. We were going to go to zorb or segways but they were too expensive so we all  decided on adventure park and flip out.

On the way to the adventure park everybody was so excited. just as we entered the building all of our excitement disappeared as we stared at the very long line. Not so long after it came back as we were at the front of the line waiting for our turn on the gondola as we walked through the sliding doors we found ourselves at the back of another line. We looked and stared at the gondola finally it was our turn a lady took photos of us riding to the top of the hill we were almost there we were almost at the top. On the way up we could see the whole of Rotorua and we could see bikers going down their windy narrow trails.

At the top of the hill we quickly rushed off the gondola to see three big bins standing still with a sign that said HELMETS HERE!. In one there was nothing another there was two helmets and the third bin was filled with helmets so we strapped up and lined up and saw a boy with a broken leg going down the second time isle and ten minutes later it was our turn on the carts as we drove down to the scenic track stood a man that taught us how to brake and go.

Yes it was time to ride. On our way down Martin sped past and went down a hill then my cousin Joseph then Me and my uncle next was my cousin Preston and my aunty. Just coming down a hill Joseph got stuck right at the top so my uncle had to push him down and off we went but Joseph passed everybody even Martin but it was on a sharp corner next thing we heard was a crash then we saw Joseph almost flip his cart.

Right after that the luge ride ended and we had to drive down a very narrow road and at the end of the road we had to pull back the handle bars then push them forward to lock them in place. We dragged our carts onto a machine that hooks carts onto a chairlift and keeps going around. I went on the chairlift with my uncle and when I was just going to sit down it sped up forcing me down on the chair. On the way up we saw helmets in tree tops and in no time we were at the top we had one more ride and after that we left for lunch.

We were going to have McDonalds but we gave Wendy’s a try and everybody loved it. I got a burger, fries and a very very very tall drink. I went to get some sauce out of the sauce machine and everybody else did as well.

We left Wendy’s and registered everybody at Flip out. It only took five minutes and before we knew it we were bouncing on the tramps. There was a huge temple in the middle of the room. There was a playpen for kids under the age of eight. It was fun, but the tramps weren't bouncy. It felt like jumping on slow motion tramps. But we went to the foam pit and the tramps were super bouncy. It’s too bad that the real tramps weren't as bouncy. Preston went first and did a twist flip into the foam pit. Then Joseph went next then Martin then me, looking at the tramps they looked bouncy but bouncing on the tramps was a whole different thing they were bouncier than the bounciest tramp I have been on. I’d do a flip but I might not land feet first so I just bounced right out into the foam pit. Then I realised a long rectangle pushed to the side. It looked like a gladiator standing post. As I slowly dragged myself out of the foam pit everybody left and I was the only one left in the foam pit cage. So I walked out and found everybody standing by a tramp.There were four more bouncy tramps two by the basketball hoop and two by the wall jump. I jumped one wall but the other one was four meters high and I jumped the 2 meter high wall. I slipped on the block onto the tramp and bounced off but luckily landed on my knees. Ten minutes later everybody had had enough so we left flip out.

I had fun at Preston's birthday and I hope he did too.
