New Zealand

Hi everybody!






I'm sorry I haven't wrote a blog post for a while. We've been in New Zealand for the the past two weeks doing all sorts of cool stuff. We went white water rafting and my parents rafted down the highest commercially rafted water fall in the world. It was 25 ft tall. I did not get to go down that bit (thankfully). Then we went for a soak in a mud bath and slathered sulfur mud all over ourselves. The next day we went horse riding over beautiful mountainous terrain. After wards we drove to hobbiton where parts of upcoming hobbit movie were filmed. Then we went sailing on Lion New Zealand, the 80 ft MAXI yacht that Sir Peter Blake sailed in the Whitbread round the world race (now the Volvo race). When we came back it was my first day of school. Today is my second day. Wish me luck!

What an adventure you had in NZ - loved the pictures. And, we know you will enjoy school, plus be an excellent student. Looking forward to more of your posts.

Hi Maia,

Your trip sounds heavenly. I am happy that you had so much fun.

I just saw your Mum's picture of you in your new school uniform. Very cool. When I was a kid I couldn't wait to wear a uniform, but my parents moved us to Canada the year I was to go to the new school (where the kids wore uniforms). I always felt like I'd missed out on something! ;-)

Big Hugs,
Auntie Lynne

Hi Maia, After seeing the picture of you on your mom's blog, the one where you are holding the koala, all my girls want is to go to Austrailia so that they can hold a koala. We bet that was a pretty cool experience. Good luck with your studies in foreign slang!
