Rotorua Recount

Rotorua Recount

On Friday the 13th to Sunday the 15th Me and my family went to Rotorua for the weekend to do really fun activities and Horrifying rides that chills everyone out. We packed our bags then chuckled and riggled them into the boot with not much space and just fit, me and my brother had to go to a service mechanic and got a brand new spare tyre for the trip(even though it's only 3 hours).

 After we arrived home and I checked the oil and the water and my brother checked the power-steering, we were all set to go because we had to pick up my littler brother Easton from his birthday at areally cool Tongan Kindergarden. Finally, we buyed some breakfast and zoomed on to the freeway. I started to read my Harry Potter book for about 40 minutes, I fell asleep and my Sister woke me up when we were into Rotorua, as soon as I took a breath it smelled like rotten egg and I wanted to Storm inside so I couldnt smell it.

We finally settled into our room 330 and went straight into the Activities. First we went to a place called SkyLine for some really fun activites on a mountain. The activities was Luge carting down the mountian, Gondola ride and Zipline I instantly said Im going on the Luge Cart. We decided to get a family deal to have 2 Luge rides and 2 Gondola rides, we went up the Gondola for about 5 minutes and we were at the top of the mountain.

 I went to get a helmet for safety at the Luge ride and I waited in the line, I examined poeple who has already had a turn so I knew how to ride the Luge, pulling the handles back is the break and holding it forward is to go forward. I waited against the rail and I didnt notice the line was way infront of me so I ran up to the line and it was finally my turn. The Assistant running the Luge carts does a test before they let the person on the cart go. She told be to go forward and stop a few times and then she let me go, there was three signs that said Scenic, Intermediate and advanced, I panicked to choose so I went with the Intermediate path and was really scary but fun. I was so excited because there was lots of obstacles to dodge and swing around but the last bit was a humongous drop ramp and I went so fast and finally had to get off. The only way back up the mountain was a bench(the ones you see in the park)with a little bar that holds you, it was so scary as it wobbles around on the rope, I just wondered how the rope was so strong.

We were finally finished and we rode the Gondola back down the mountain, we felt really hungry so we went to the Restaurant called Texas Chicken. I got a wrap called the Tex Wrap wich had 2 juicy tender chicken peices with melted cheese, tomatoes, diced onions, fresh lettuce and creamy mayonnaise wrapped in a toasted tortilla. It was the most delicious, cruchiest and taste-kicking wrap in the world. I enjoyed the wrap with some great fries and nuggets. Gradually we got full and went back to the Hotel(Rydges) and fell asleep basically. Two hours later we went out for dinner and went to a place called Fat Dog, they had really nice service and I ordered the Fat Dog Works wich came with 2 cripsy Hash Browns, Bacons, Poached Eggs, Sausage, Tomato and Chucky Toast it was really nice and the worker gave us free Boysenberry muffins. 

 It was already 9 : 00 so we went back and we plugged a hard drive into the tv and it worked so we watched Moana and Coco. I felt really tired and I really wanted some sleep for tomorrow so I fell asleep on the ground. The next day we planned to go to a place called AdventurePlayground and it was so awesome because we played LaserTag, Virtual Reality, Escape room and also we played Mini golf. I played Lasertag with my brother and my Little Brother and I won with a score of 23 kills because I kept ducking and dodging their shots and I destroyed 2 bases by shooting the lights. Then I played Virtual Reality, I had to survive all the rounds of Zombies and Flying Creatures with gun and I lasted 6 Rounds. I was a bit scared because it looked so real with the Virtual Reality so close to my eyes. We finished our fun time and went back to the hotel room for our final night, I fell asleep on the floor again and in the morning we packed our bags ready to go home. THE EDN(I know I spelt END wrong)
