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.

Hey Ben, I also wrote about a trip I went on. I don't think I have ever been on plane for 15 hours though. I don't think I would have been able to jump off the bridge. It sounds really fun if I could do it. Next time you go you should invite me! ha ha

That is a very nice blog you have there. You said you were exhausted, have you ever tried sleeping on the plane. I would have also had a hard time jumping. Did you know that all of the Lord of the rings movies were filmed within 100miles of each other. Do you mean Jet Skis or Jet Boats, Jet Boats can be 200 feet long!!

What is up Ben. My last blog was also about a trip I went on. I bet that plane ride really sucked. I have never been a plane for that long. It would be really cool to jump off a bridge. Keep doing good posts.

Wow Ben you are crazy! Thats crazy that you jumped off that bridge I probably would have done it to though because it sounds like a lot of fun. I have wanted to go to New Zealand for a while but I dont know if I could handle a 15 hour plane ride. That is also really cool that you got to see where the lord of the rings was filmed and the actual ring. Anyways keep up the good work on your blog.
