I woke up as the plane started to land at Auckland airport. I had not slept for much of the night flight from Singapore because I was so excited. This was my first trip abroad without my parents. It was a school trip for Grade 6 students, all aged 11 years old.
After the arrival, we got on a bus which took us to a place called Miranda, where we stayed the night.
The next day we got up early, had breakfast, and took the bus to Thames. On the way we stopped at a gold mine(矿). I searched for pieces of gold but didn’t find any. At Thames we visited a cave where we saw a huge spider eating a fly. That was interesting!
The third day was very unforgettable. We went to a Maori village. Maoris are the original people who have lived in the New Zealand for thousands of years. I made friends with a Maori boy of my own age called Aaron. Aaron took me to his large house. He had many pets including a dog, a cat, a chicken and···an ostrich(鸵鸟)！The ostrich was much taller than me with a funny head and long legs.It was a little bit frightening!
That night for dinner we had a barbecue and finally before going to bed we played a game of football. My team won 3 to 1.
The next morning was our last day in New Zealand. We went back to Aaron’s village where the Maori men lined up and performed a haka---this is a war dance. We then sang a song for them and then everyone became friends. It was a wonderful experience.
After that we went to a place called Rototua where we saw boiling bud pools and geysers(间歇性喷泉). The geysers shot water into the air 10metres high! It was amazing!
That night we took the bus back to the airport and said our goodbye to the beautiful country of New Zealand. I would love to come back to visit again some day.
