In the October school holidays I went to Auckland with Mum and Dad and Jacob. We went to Auckland because we wanted a holiday. We wanted to go to Rainbow’s End and the Sky Tower.
We drove to Auckland and on the way I saw railroad crossings with barrier arms. I saw a Kiwi rail goods train but it didn't go through the barrier arms. On the way to Auckland we stopped at KFC.
We stayed at John and Di’s house and I slept in baby Madden’s room.
We went to Rainbow’s End and I went on the log flume with my mum and we went on the gold rush ride. There were candles flickering in lanterns.
We went on the helicopter ride and I pedalled to make us go higher. The good and bad chocolate express train ride was fun, it was powered by an engine and it went curvy and straight at the same time. I told the kid train driver to speed up! My legs were trembling with fear.
I woke up early the next day and I had a little bit more sleep on the couch with the orange blanket and a pillow for my head. Then we went to Butterfly Creek and we went on the train at Dinosaur Kingdom. Mum liked looking at the butterflies but I wanted to see the crocodiles and the tarantula spider!
That afternoon we went to the Sky Tower. We went up in the elevator to the sky deck to level 60!
It was a good holiday but we had to go back to New Plymouth and it was a long drive home. I liked seeing the railroad crossings and barrier arms the best.
