When we got to hanmer springs the house was really big, eli and i chose our room which was right next to the games room. That night we had burgers for dinner witch were really nice. The next morning we went to watch Dorris do her race and she came second then in the afternoon we watched dad and Gary do their race and gary won. We watched the Wales v France match I wanted wales to win and now I want the wallabies to win against the All blacks!!! In the morning we went to the springs and eli and i were on the slides all morning. Mum and dad got to go to the adults pools which were 41degrees. Hanmer springs is a little town which is about two hours from christchurch. Around 100 years ago someone found that there were very hot natural springs bubbling up out of the ground! They made really cool pools out of them and the wallabies were even there a couple of weeks ago! We had to go home to get ready to leave hanmer springs but had time for a nice pie. Last night we went to the pub to watch the rugby match but the wallabies didn't win. oops. We snuck out of the pub!!!
