Auckland, New Zealand
We went to New Zealand and landed in Aukland and stayed there for a few days. There was some pretty cool thing there like the museum and the zoo.
At the museum, there was a World War 1 and 2 exhibit, a Maori exhibit, an exhibit about the European settlers, and a volcano simulator. In the WW1 and 2 exhibit, there were some high school kids who were teamed up with the Aukland museum and used Minecraft to rebuild Gallipoli! I thought that was pretty cool because I got to go on the world and they had their own resource pack!
At the Aukland Zoo, we saw seals and otters which I thought was pretty cool. There were also giraffes, zebras, ostriches, kiwis, hippos, rhinos, and lemurs. Then when we were finished at the zoo we drove to Paihia to stay with some other exchangees and went deep-sea fishing and caught tons of red snapper but couldn’t keep them because they weren’t 30cm from nose to where the tail goes into a v. We only kept 3 fish and we almost caught a stingray. No joke. We also saw fluffy’s 3rd removed uncle on his mother’s father’s side swimming beside our boat (there really was a little blue penguin). When we got back to the hotel my dad cooked the fish and we all ate the fish.
