Coromandel

On boxing day we packed our bags and headed off for Coromandel. It was a 2and a half hour trip and we stopped only once to eat tea at the yachting club. After all the windy road we finally were at our batch. We firstly unpacked and then went to bed. The next day our cousin Tony and his girlfriend Gayle came up and put up there tent. The next day they went fishing and caught 7 fish. Then my other cousins came up. The day after they came up we went for a swim out in the water everyone kept on saying ah there’s a stingray underneath you and everyone would scream except me because i’ve had a stingray underneath me. The next day uncle mac turned up. That night he had music on in his car but it was really old music. We talked about our music, but he wouldn’t let us play it. We got him a beer then he said alright and we put a mix cd on. He said alright now dance we want a show. So we started dancing but couldn’t stop laughing. It then came on to that’s not my name and we  were singing too. on the next song uncle Mac came down and showed us how to dance he was doing the wave a weird way. When we had to go to bed he tried to turn on his car and he had a flat battery! A couple days later my uncle john and Jemma came up and we went to Shelly bay which was around a bay and we took the Canoe and the kayak and the dingy. Me and my cousin Jemma went in the Canoe and nearly tipped out but we made it. We then went onto the boat. We were out in the second channel and were fishing peacefully when we saw a whale. Dad was talking on the phone to a client and suddenly a whale surfaced 20 metres from our boat it was very scary. Dad was like I’m watching a whale surface mate! We then caught a john Dorry just as i finished reading the story the Tiddler. We then went into the muscle beds I wanted to follow the whale but I was still scared of it. At the muscle beds we saw my cousins on there boat when we went out they went in so we didn’t know if they caught anything. We were yelling out to them we saw a whale and they were like we saw dolphins and then they said we saw kawhai’s and we said we caught kawhai’s and then they said a gain we saw dolphins and we said we saw a whale we win because you never see whale’s in the ocean. When we were about to go in we wanted to go for a swim so dad took us around to a little bay and we swam there. You could see the bottom of the ocean but you couldn’t touch it there. It was 10 feet deep. Michelle and I kept trying to touch the ground, we jumped and dived but none of us could reach it soon it was time to go because we had to get the boat in and it was past high tide. That night we went over to my Uncle Rays and we showed him Kristen’s john Dory. Dad started talking to uncle rays and scotie and my cousin Kaitlyn, Michelle and I were doing cartwheels, backarchs and one handed cartwheels beside his tent in the camping ground. it was 10:00pm before we went home then we had to go to bed. The next day My cousins went home and Tony came up with my cousin Tamara and Gayle and her kids that afternoon we went on the biscuit. We had Tony’s and ours and I went on ours while Tamara went on the other one. We were screaming for fun and my mum said she could hear it from where she was on the beach. I had three rides and the last one was when we went in Tony started going fast and Tamara started yelling dont, don’t. I was yelling go, Go and Gayle didn’t know which one to tell Tony. Soon we were back to shore and went inside. that night we played cricket and it was a funny game. Scottie came half way through the game to get Stevie because it was dinner time for them, but we kept him and made him play cricket. He got out about three times before he actually hit the ball. Then everybody left. We packed up and set off, soon we were out in the ocean putting down our rods we didn’t catch any fish at all that were keepers so we sent off into shore at Oamaru bay where we put our boat in we went for a swim. We were trying to make a pyramid with Kristen on our shoulders, but it didn’t really work. that night Uncle ray came in and told us that Evelyn had passed away. Everyone started talking about her then. the next day everyone packed up and went home. It was a great time.
