Christchurch Trip

2006-05-03T16:58:00.000-07:00

On Thursday 23rd of March me, my Nana and Grandad left Hawera to go to my cousin Natasha’s wedding in Christchurch. We went in the camper van so we could sleep in it if there was no room in the house. First we went to Wanganui to see my Aunty Toni and the twins they are really fat and cuddly. Nana and Grandad had a long talk with them and I played with the babies. Regan and Sharna were at school so we couldn’t see them. So we just carried on through to Wellington and got there about 10:30pm. Grandad found where we had to wait for the big boat that left at 3:00am the next morning. Me and Grandad went over to the train station to see all the trains and Grandad fell down the stairs because it was slippery. I got bored so we came back to the camper van by Nana who was over by the shop thing. Nana shouted out to me to tell Grandad to come over to get the tickets so we could get on the boat. Finally we were able to go by the check in and wait till 3:00. Big lights were flashing everywhere so it was hard to get to sleep in there. A boat came past us and blew its horn then the gate opened and scraped across the ground then about 100 cars and trucks passed us with there lights on high then the gate scraped across the ground to close again. We got about two hours sleep then the man came and told us to get up and drive through the gate onto the boat and turn our likes off. All of a sudden I was bumping around in the back of the van cause of the bumpy ramp. Now we are in the boat and getting our stuff together to go up stairs. I took my pillow and blanket just encase I got tied. Grandad and I locked up the van while Nana went and got us a seat .We found nana up top and she had got us a few couches to lie on. Me and grandad took off and went wondering around the boat. We went right to the top of the boat and got blown out also down to see the animals the bar lounge the toilets and the dinner room. I tumbled down the stairs back to nana and looked out the window and a man said leaving now to Picton. I tried to run and see the beginning of the movie but it had already started to play it was called sky high. I started to feel sick while we were watching the movie and grandad asked if I was alright and I said yes but I wasn’t and got sick. After the movie we started to see Piton and we reversed into the gap. A man said passengers please return to your car. We ran down the stairs and jumped into the camper van. I bumped around in the van again because we went over the bumpy ramp. Finally I was in the South Island for the first time in my live. Now we made our long trip to Christchurch and saw lots of seals on the way.
Now the 24th of April 11:53 am we have made it safely to Christchurch. I got to see my cousin Tash for the first time I can remember in my life. We all sat round and had a huge talk and something to eat and just relaxed for the rest of the day apart from going to get my uncle and Tolo and cousin Miana at the airport that live in Eltham. But not my Tolo he lives up the river in Wanganui. We took them home with us then played round till we went to bed.
Today is the day of the Wedding 25th of March and we are going to Mc Dz for breakfast because the wedding isn’t until 3:00pm. After we had some Breakfast we went to visit one of my uncles that I didn’t know. He lived in a big white house on the side of a lake and it was very flash. Uncle Tom took Miana to the hairdressers to get her hair done for the wedding. It was taking a long time so while I was waiting Tolo went over and got some pizza for lunch. Becky and Tash went first and we went after them but not the same way we were going to the market and for a look around Christchurch before it started. Me and mia went back to the house after the malls and waited for Tash to come back and tell us were to go to find the Cashmere Club. We found where we were going and meet every one there 5 minutes late. We were all so silent and then the song started to play and lots of ladies began to cry. I didn’t cry because I had no reason to. The wedding was outside to .They didn’t play the wedding song they played one of there own by K.C and Jojo it was very sunny with a bit windy. After the lady talked we all went into the club room and the people gave us our food and then Paul stood up and talked then Uncle Tom then another man then Tash’s mum. When we had finished eating we could get how many drinks we wanted because Grandad put $700 on drinks for every one and we only drunk $300 of it. All of us kids just played around the whole club and on the play ground outside. We played spot light and hide and seek all night till about one in the morning and had to go home in a taxi because all the adults were drunk.

The next day we just roamed around town. We went to another market that had lots of little shops at there but it was an outside one. We got some Chinese for lunch at a caravan type thing and me and Miana got a up filled with crushed ice and it looked like an Ice cream and we got to pick three flavours to put on and we picked blue yellow and red and it looked like a rainbow slushy. We went round and round and round the whole thing and on the way I got a Bob Marley t-shirt and five dollars on lollies and some candy floss. I was going to get a fake tattoo but we wanted to go on the go carts. So we left the market and found the go carts and by time we got there it was time that uncles and that plane left so we had to go home and get Tash to drop them off at the airport and they were still late they had to wait for two hours till the next flight. I went home with Tash and packed all our stuff up to travel back to Picton. When we got to Picton we were in time to get our tickets and hope on the boat. One of the men came and told us to wait here just until the truck hoped on and then drive through. We parked the camper van up and got taken the fast way up to the lounge. When we got to the top I found out that this was the same boat we came on. It took us three hours to get back to Wellington and as soon as we got there we came straight back to Taranaki at about 2:30 Wednesday morning.
