Kia Ora :)
Wednesday we went to the Auckland Museum to watch a 'Maori Performance Show'.
They demonstrated the dances and customs in Maori culture... in the end they did a haka :) That is the wardance from the Maoris, it is performed by the national Rugby team of New Zealand before each game as well. The frighten the other team and get rid of their nervousness... ;)
On Thursday we went to the hot pools in Waiwera, it was actually just a swimming pool with water between 31°C and 48°C. So not everyone was that excited.. but I I enjoyed it... really relaxing :D
The best thing that day was, the way to the hot pools: we stopped at Orewa Beach *__* The beach close to the place where I'm gonna live soon ;) It was sooo beautiful (two pictures in the previous post).
In the evening, my friend and I wanted to go to the beach, but we couldn't find it :D haha we went wrong somewhere and were totally lost - my orientation isn't good at all :P
It was still fun and after dinner my hostmum went with us to the mall.
Friday was our last day in Auckland, so we wanted to go to Devenport to eat Fish n' Chips, but something went wrong with the order.. so we had none...
Therefore we just went shopping another day :D
Yesterday (30th July) we went from the Auckland Museum to Orewa College (my school from tomorrow on) and got picked up there from our hostfamilies.
Like I said before we have two dogs and a cat in the family and I just loove them *__*
Tigger (the cat) slept on my lap, while we were watching Rugby - All Blacks (New Zealand) against Sprinbocks (Australia).
I think the game is quite violent, but it's really popular in New Zealand. My hostbrothers are both playing.
My hostdad is from Holland and can speak a little bit German, but of course we speak English. That works quiet good, but I still have problems with answering...
My room is small, but nice and my hostfamily is great :)
My hostbrother always tells me lots of things I don't know about :D
The food is really nice and way more German then I thought... we had chocolatepudding with ice-cream for dessert ;)
Today we went for a walk with the dogs... and now I have a sore back from that -.-
We went through the par to my school, so that I would know the way.
My hostbrother had to climb on a tree and over a fence to get the ball for the dogs back.. I wasn't that happy about it I guess :D

| Walk to school |
School starts tomorrow.. for the Kiwis :D We start school on Wednesday and we start at 8.40am (40min later than in Germany ;)). Yaaay I can sleep longer then usually :P
I'm gonna pick up a friend and then we'll walk to school together. On the first day we'll get ti know the school and on Tuesday we're going on a bustrip to see a bit of the area around Orewa ;)
I still can't believe that I'm already here since more than a week... the month will pass by quickly and the following 12 as well ;)
See ya :)
