29th January- 4th February – Alistair’s tail
Alistairs’ first post- We walked from Eastbourne car park around all of the bays and bends. It took around 1 hour and 40 mins to get to Pencarrow Head Lighthouse. Pencarrow Head is at the end of Wellington harbour and it was very windy. On the way back I found very big Paua shell. Paua are beautiful shells that belong to a sea creature which lives on rocks in the sea which lives on rocks in the sea. You can eat Paua because it is meant to be very nice.
One day we went to wave Dad off to Wellington then had our lessons on the beach after we had been into Days Bay café for breakfast. That day we had a look for someone to look at the vans exhaust but we couldn’t find anyone to do it, so we went to the campsite and booked in. Then we went to pick Dad up from Days Bay.
We went fishing from the wharf but I didn’t catch anything but I had some bites.
We went to Wellington by ferry and went to the food court to have a coffee and do some lessons. Food court is a place where you get lots of different types of food like Mexican, Indian, Thai, Japanese and Turkish.
At lunchtime we saw a rugby parade for the Wellington 7’s. The players threw lots of chocolate bars at us, one of the bars went under the cars wheel and I picked it up completely flat!
In the afternoon we saw loads of people dressed up in fancy dress going to the 7’s. then we went to the museum, TePapa where we did some work about Captain Cook and the Endeavour and the Maoris.
On Friday afternoon we went to see Jill & Odette, who we had met in Fiji. When we got there on Friday we had a water and soap bubble fight. On Saturday morning we went to the climbing wall and I climbed a very high rope and lots of walls. We had to have a harness around our waist and through our legs. Then we had to clip ourselves on to the rope so we didn’t fall. Then we went to Tiger Eye beads and we chose some beads and made some earrings, Jill met us after her bike ride and arranged for us to go bowling which was fun, Mum won somehow, Odette can second and I was third.
At 10am on Sunday we went to Lyall Bay Surf club with Odette for her training session. I decided not join in but went in the sea by myself and played with the body board in the waves. Mum and Dad took us all to a Chinese restaurant for lunch, called Yum Cha. Where people come around with food on plates and you choose what you want and eat it with chopsticks, near the end we decided that in China you wouldn’t cut things to fit the size of your mouth. After that we went to Staglands, with Jill, Mum and Dad didn’t come with us.
Staglands is a place with lots of animals that you would find in different countries. After that we went Blueberry picking and me and Odette got an ice cream.
PS…Dad went to the Wellington Sevens at the Westpac Stadium on Friday and Saturday. He said it was great!
