Fishing

When I was in New Zealand we went fishing. My uncle has a 16' small metal boat. The boat had a 250hp Suzuki outboard engine. We drove from Auckland to a small town on the coast where he kept his boat. It was a pretty windy day but we went out anyway. We motored out of the Marina into the ocean. There were some pretty big waves but we were heading to an island to fish so the island would provide shelter from the waves. When we got to near the island and out of the waves we dropped the anchor. Me my brother, dad, and uncle started to fish. There were not very many boats out because of the weather and all the boats that were out were a lot bigger then 16'. We caught some small fish but none of them were big enough to keep. We were not catching to many fish so we decided to head back in. We started to motor back to the Marina. When we got into the open water the waves had gotten a lot bigger. some of the swells were at least 9-10' tall. It was a pretty scary boat ride. When we were almost to the Marina this huge wave hit us from the side and came close to tipping the boat over. My little brother was in the cabin and a pan fell and hit him in the head. Luckily we made it back to the Marina safely.

My Trip To New Zealand

We started the trip with a 15 hour plane ride. On the plane we each had a little TV on the head rest in front of us. The console had video games, music, TV shows and movies. When we got to the airport I was exhausted. My aunt who lives in Auckland new Zealand picked us up and took us to her house. I went straight to bed when there. The next day when I woke up my grandma and grandpa were there. For the next few days we toured Auckland. The next day we took a plane to Christ church where we stayed in a hotel and looked around the town. The next day we went bungee jumping. My dad went first, when I got to the edge of the bridge I was looking 200ft down, at that point I was pretty scared but I just went for it and jumped. It was a huge rush, after it was all over I was really happy I did it. The next day we went jet boating where they filmed Lord Of The Rings. It was really fun and pretty. The next day we drove to another town where I saw the actual Lord Of The Rings ring. We spent a couple days there. After that we flew back to Auckland to visit some more with my aunt, grandma and grandpa. Then we flew back home.
