Rarawa Beach

Today we had to write about our loved ones and somewhere very special. I did mine about Kaitaia and a day at the beach. Rarawa Beach is my favorite beach ever and I have so many great memories with my family and friends there. Rarawa Beach is a beach that I go to most of the days when I visit Kaitaia. I really enjoyed thinking about all the good times I had while I was there. It was challenging to remember some of the events that happened.

We loaded up all the Surfboards and Boogie Boards and headed to Rarawa beach. Dad is driving along the gravel road about to go onto the soft sand. We drive down the sandhill and then Dad stops and tells us to get out. We do that and then he tells us to grab onto the side of the car and hold on. Then off he goes driving at a nice speed. I feel the nice salty wind blowing my hair back and I see Aunty Sari, Aaron, Waimirirangi, and Waioru (Our friends) in front of us doing the same thing. I wave to Waimirirangi. We move closer and closer to the lagoon and finally, we are there. We jump off the sides and start getting the surfboards and boogie boards out of the truck. We get our wetsuits on and jump in the water. We splash around and have lots of fun while Dad, Aaron, Papa, Nana, and Aunty Sari sit back and watch us. Then Me, Waimirirangi, Waioru and Tane announced that we wanted to go for a surf. Charlie, Asha, Nana, Papa, and Aunty Sari stayed at the lagoon while we smothered zinc all over our faces and headed out with Dad and Aaron. It’s quite cold but I know that will change soon. We headed out really deep and started catching some nice waves. Then I went out over my head and looked down. The water was as clear as anything and I saw a stingray swim under me. We caught some more waves and then went over and got changed. We drove back home and we were very tired.

Australia

Day 1. Wow. I didn't know Australia was so hot! We just got off the plane into Australia and I'm so excited. Alright, first things first get the rental van. Second things second go have dinner because I'm starving!! Dad, Mum, Nana, Grandad, Tane, Asha, Charlie and I are all here in Aussie and we're all excited. We finally got the rental van and then it took about half an hour to sort out where we were going. When we finally got to our accommodation we went straight to have dinner. Once we had that done and dusted we went to where we were staying and went straight to sleep.
