My School Holiday Extravaganza

A week before school finished I got on a plane to Australia, it was fun just watching movies and playing games with my brother Pote and my sister Fine. When we landed in Australia I could still feel the plane bouncing up and down in my head but I had a good feeling about this holiday when we got picked up from the Sydney airport by my Uncle Keliti.

When we got to my Uncle's apartment, my brother fell in love with my Uncles PS3 console straight away. We played Wii sport, I ended up beating my brother,sister and both of my uncles, then my uncle brought me lunch. We had chicken schnitzel sandwiches. Later on we went for a cruise around Sydney with my uncle. We saw The Sydney Oprah House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. That was only one day down, imagine a whole 8 days of fun and excitement.

The next day we went for a swim in the indoor swimming pools. We broke the rules by running and jumping in the pool and we even had a game tag but my favourite part was when I stepped in a hot spa pool. It was so hot! For lunch homemade chips and salad which was DELICIOUS! Before we went to sleep we went to the movies and watched 21 Jump Street and I was told off for making so much noise they had to give me warning. I would rate the movie 9/10

On Wednesday we were still thinking of the movie and how much action there was and all that my sister wanted to do was to forget about it because she doesn't like action and shooting. That day we went to the Sydney Markets, it's the size of Sylvia park so there was a large variety of shops. I bought me a hat and a wrist-band and a necklace.

On Thursday and Friday we did the same thing and just stayed home and enjoyed each others company and just playing PS3 and eating Fish'n'Chips for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

When Saturday came we had a great time at another Market but in Bankstown but the most exciting part was Lunch time and we had Thai food it was the first time that I ever ate a rabbit and peanut sauce with ice tea. When we got back we went to see my uncle's boss Beverly McLaughlin, she gave my Uncle a giant basket of huge Easter eggs.We had a Easter egg hunt and I could just smell all the Easter eggs while I was walking past. My highlight was when my Uncle dropped an egg and when I went to go pick up the egg I got soaked with water. When we got up to the apartment my uncle was laughing at me.

On the hottest day of the week, Sunday, we went to the beach and made sand castles. I got buried in the sand and had a long swim. While I was in the water my brother Pote kicked sand in my mouth and then I had to chase him around the beach. My sister came out of nowhere and tackled him into the sand. My big Uncle jumped on me and then I was screaming HELP! HELP! But I was just joking and then I jumped on him. When we were done we had to get ready really fast because we were supposed to be at the Airport in 2 hours ago.. When we got to New Zealand we all wanted to go back so that was the end of my favourite school holiday.

The only Kiwi there

2012-03-08T14:50:00.000+13:00

When I arrived in Australia I felt like an individual because I was the only Kiwi there. I felt nervous and shy I felt like running out of the Airport felling home sick!I flew over alone from Auckland to Sydney.

As I left the airport with my uncle I looked outside the window and found out we were on the Sydney harbour, I was surprised, it looked so different to New Zealand because you could actually drive a double-decker train over the harbour bridge. As you drive over the harbour you can see the amazing Sydney Opera house, it looks really big when you drive past.

I stayed at the Breakfree Hotel with my Uncle in Bankstown. I went up the elevator to the 4th floor were my Uncle lives, I looked out on the balcony and the first thing I saw was very bright lights everywhere and then I started feeling at home. We were playing on his playstation 3 until we got tired and then we turned his couch into a king bed just for me but then we both fell asleep fast.

Next morning we got ready to go to Luna Park. We went on almost everything and man, it was funny when he nearly threw me into the water!
After that I went to watch Author with Russel Grant .
Each morning I ran down to the cafe for the all you could eat buffet breakfast, I had sausages, eggs,bacon and on the side some Weet-bix
and some Orange juice.

I saw some old family members that I hadn’t seen since I was 3 or 4 years old, I felt like a stranger cause I don’t know them as much as family in New Zealand.
I had such a good time in one week I wanted to stay in Australia!

Will I ever go back? YES! I’m going in April with my little brother & little sister!
