Weekend+Adventures

Rotorua and Taupo Before we met us homestay family and went to school, we traveled to Rotorua during 3 days.Rotorua is very beautiful city. It has many tourist attractions because of volcano activity.There are many spas in Rotorua and they are good for health. But it smells bad like rotten eggs because of sulfur.First day, we went to Agrodome. We could see many sheep, and sheep shearing show.It was the most exciting thing in first day. Second day, we went to Taupo. First, we went to Geothermal Power Station and Huka Falls.We took a jet boat in Huka Falls. It was very extreme and exciting.We also went to the spa. We swam in the spa. It was interesting.After we went back to Rotorua, we went to the Redwoods.I could feel refreshed in the Redwoods. Final day, we went to the Rotorua flea market.We ate kebabs in the flea market.It was very delicious. I liked it.I want to travel to Rotorua again. Kelly Tarltons I went to Kelly Tarltons this Wednesday. It is a small aquarium in underworld. There are sharks, lobsters, some fishes, even a stuffed giant squid and so on. The most impressive animal was a penguin. Penguins were so cute. I wanted to touch them. I watched them while we rode in a small train. It was very nice, but I couldn't do my homework given by teachers.It was too difficult to do in 40minutes. Auckland Zoo I can't remember when we went to Auckland Zoo. It was very big ad there were many animals. We could see lions, monkeys, alligators, kiwis, hippos and so on. There were even birds like peacocks and chickens on the road. I think a kiwi was very interesting. The cage of a kiwi was very dark and finding a kiwi was very difficult. We ate Kimbab for lunch. After viewing the zoo, we walked around the lake next to the zoo. There were many birds and eels. I don't think the zoo was very exciting without a kiwi. Frankly speaking, it was waste of time. The lake was more interesting than the zoo. I can't remember what I did in the zoo and when I went to the zoo. Anyway, that day was very special in its own way. Shopping-Sylvia Park and Watching Toy Story 3-Hoyts We went to Sylvia Park. I think it was a department store. We looked around Sylvia Park, but there was nothing to buy. After walking around Sylvia Park, we went to Hoyts to watch the movie named Toy Story 3. It was very fun and also touching. It was a very impressive movie. That day, I just bought some pencils to give to my friends in Donghae. I will buy some souvenirs in City Tour. Sky Tower We went to Sky Tower. It takes about 20 minutes by bus from BBI to Sky Tower. Sky Tower is very tall. Top of Sky Tower is probably 328 meters (1,076 ft). The tower attracts an average of 1,450 visitors per day. But there was nothing to do. We could just look down the city. Scenery was very beautiful, but that's all. We took some photos at Sky Tower. It was very nice pictures. This picture is Sky Tower of night. I want to go to Sky Tower at night if I can.
