Hunters Holiday in Queensland

Last week, I (Hunter) went to Queensland witch in in the south island of New Zealand. It is really cold. The first day of my holiday I went in a plane to Christchurch and then on aother plane to Queenstown.
We rented a car from a car shop (i don't really know the name of the rental place so I will call it the car shop).
 From the airport we traveled to  our hotel, it was really flash, it was called Spinniker bay. It was about 5:00 at night so I decided to go to bed early from a tireing day. The second day...WE WENT SKIING!!!
 It was soooo much fun (even though I face planted a bit). We were there for a whole day. At the end of the day we went back to our hotel and whached T.V...
our legs were sore from having so much fun!

The next day we just rested from our long skiing day. We decided to do somthing differant tomorrow.
We went shopping and I didn't get anything but my mum and sister brought heaps!
It was night once again and the adults wanted to get away from us for abit and go out with some friends called Bungi (he is a professoional stunt man) and his wife.
We got a baby sitter, she was really nice, her name was Camille.
We hade so much fun together we went to the pool, we hade tickle fights (i always won!), and after that we settled down and whacthed some movies!
The adults came back a 1:00 in the morning.

The nextday we didn't go skiing, but we went on a ship!
It was called the TSS Earnslaw it was celebrating its 100th annaversry (it was a steamboat).
It was sailng to a farm. We got to see deer, bulls, sheep, sheep shearing and herding dogs.
It was lots of fun wew got to feed all the animals!
They slobbered all over my hand!
Then we sailed back to port again.
It was 4:00 when we got back and we had all had a great day!
So we decided to go back to the hotel and have a swim.
The rest of the afternoon we swam and read books and watched movies together.
I made the fire so we could all get snug and warm.
We talked about what we should do tomorrow and we all wanted to go skiing again because after all thats why we came on this holiday.

So the next day, like we decided, went skiing we screamed as we zoomed down the mountain!
The next day was our last to do anything because we were leaving on the next day!
So mum planned a surprise day for us, I had a feeling it was going to be awesome, mum seemed excited.
So the next day mum took us to the surprise, turns out it was a JET! it was called KJet it went super fast on 10 centermetre water called shotover river...we only needed to use 5 cm of that water!
We did 360s in the water and I got SOAKED!!!
At the end of the ride there is a aqurium underneath and you can go in for free!
You can see all the fish in the lake through the glass!
The trought were HUGE!
You could put 1 dollar into the machine and fish food would go into the water and feed the fishes!
After that we went on this thing called skyline were you go in a little box thing on a wire and go to the top of a mountain.
At the top there is a activitie called the luge, its like bumper cars, go-karts and racecar driving all in one!

I went on that bet every one!
Then we went down on the skyline again and to the bottom.
That was the end of our holiday as we went on the plane and back to New plymouth!

  1. What a great holiday you must have had. I visited Queenstown in 2010. I didn't do all those exciting things you did, but I did go up the gondola. I hope we get to see some of your photos.
