Saturday-Sunday: We went to a festival where we tasted quail, emu, and ostrich. We then, the next day, went out to Mt. Manganui. We walked on the beach, I jumped in the waves and we met people who were making a shell pathway. Then we went to the saltwater hotpools.

Wednesday - Anzac Day. We drove out to Raglan and had icecream near the town beach. Then out to the big blowy Raglan beach. There was a ship going out to sea. There was a family who were making a sand snake. We walked around and then back to Hamilton. 

The rest of the week:Walked around the gardens. Had friends over (Shandelle - we played with the walkie talkies)

Thursday - We went up to Goat Island. I first snorkelled, didn't see very many fish. Then walked around the rocks. I was second last to go scuba diving. We went into a small channel and saw bunches of fish. I also saw a crayfish, tiger fish, zebra fish, maomaos, snapper, and a whole bunch of different fish. Then we drove back to Auckland to stay the night. I had a nice buffet. Then set my alarm for 4:00 in the morning. 

Wednesday - We did research on some fish that we were going to see. We also did some reading about scuba diving. Then we went for a little scuba diving.
