20th in New Zealand

The house where we are staying has a very amazing view and the people who own it, called Bronwen and Terence are very nice too. You can see the Sky Tower and most the amazing landmarks around. If you walk somewhere then you will be able to see the bridge. It looks quite like Sydney Harbour Bridge.

On Friday we woke up and had breakfast and then Bronwen and Terence drove us to the Honey Centre near Matakana and we tasted some honey which made me feel sick because I had so much and it was so sweet. We were looking at one of the hives behind the glass but didn't find the queen bee because she was hiding.

Next we drove to Matakana and met some people called Tony and Penny who live on a hill just outside the town. You can see the sea from where they live from both directions and you can smell the salty sea air. They have loads of flowers are very very pretty and smell like roses and the tomatoes taste amazing. We had lunch and I had salami, tomato and fish salad and they were all very delicious.

After lunch we got in our cars and drove to Tauwharanui Beach which has a cave which I really liked. We bobbed over waves, swam under them and body surfed. The sea was a bit colder than some of the other seas we've been to on holiday but it was fine and it started getting a bit choppy.

Then we went for a walk where we were looking for a takahe bird but we didn't see it because we thought it might have been having a nap. We did see a pukeko bird and a thrush and we heard lots of tooey birds.

When we got back to Penny and Tony's house we realised it was Tony's birthday and went out for dinner in Matakana. In the pub there were some really annoying people who were playing music and it was annoying. I had beer battered fush and chups which was extremely yummy. When I say fush and chups it is actually fish and chips but in a New Zealand accent it sounds like that. 

Thanks for reading, more later today.
