Kia Ora :)
Ahhhh now I haven’t written in a month :( Need to tell you quickly now what all happened.
We’re officially the winner of the Rugby World Cup :D (Okay since a month and not really big news if it was in the German newspaper already). The Kiwis bet the Wallabies with 9:8 after an exciting match (not the Kiwi’s best) and took the Cup home. What an exciting evening that we celebrated with Pavlova and fireworks.
On the 1st November was the last official school day, the Thursday we had only 1st period and then the last assembly to farewell year 13. From now on I have 3 MONTH of holidays!!!
Or more or less 3 month, more likely 2 and one month full of fun and trips :D
To welcome the holidays we went swimming after school, the first time in the sea… it wasn’t that cold. Even if I’m usually the one that doesn’t want to go in I forced everyone this time :D
After we urgently bought some shoes we went to Senior Prize Giving… After someone told us that we don’t have to split up into years and houses (if I haven’t told you yet.. we have houses like in Harry Potter :D), we finally started. It was a really nice evening with a few tears and lots of cheering :)
Because I hadn’t planned anything for Friday I spontaneously went swimming with my friend J. and in the evening went to a bonfire with fireworks... and grilled gummy bears :D
On 5th November was Guy Fawkes Day, a day to celebrate (because Guy Fawkes didn’t manage to blow up the parliament), so we bought lots of fireworks and lighted them all that night… sadly you can’t buy fireworks for New Years Eve (only if you saved them or you go to Auckland to watch the big fireworks) :( so a New Year without rockets…
„Remember, remember the Fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot;
I know of no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.“
In the following week we made a photo book and on Monday we had a fun ‘end of year lunch’ with all the internationals :)

Last week from Monday to Wednesday we went camping in Pakiri. Our toilet was a little hut with a hole in a wooden box… therefore really nice... and that’s what it smelled like :P
The shower wasn’t too bad, at least we got water and if you were quick it was even warm from the sun :D
Otherwise the camp was pretty… awesome :D with bonfire, swimming in the sea with huge waves and an hour horse riding :)
But you really didn’t need the Sandflies… nasty things -.-

Thursday was a free day and on Friday we went shopping… with 40 and more people :D we should do that in Germany as well ;)
The weekend was really relaxed with reading, doing nothing and watching X-Man with my hostfamily.
Today we went to the Kauri Museum, for some not that interesting but I liked it :) The way was the best on the whole trip, because NZ showed the best of it’s nature again ;)
See ya Lea ♥
