Camp Day 3

"Holley moley! we have a big day ahead of us", I said to myself as I got in the bus and was ready to got to the Redwood Forest. When we got to the Redwood forest I was quite amazed on how big the stumps their were on the Redwood trees. It took us about 6 people to get around a whole normal sized tree stump.When we looking at the ginormas tree stumps we got in our groups and started a scavenger hunt. We had to find out the anwsers to some of the questions and keep our eyes pealed for any clues or anwsers. Their was green arows that we followed until we come back to where we started, as I was walking through the path way their was a stick on ground, I went to go get it but I stepped on it and Ka Pow! it flung me right in the face, heaps of people were laughing but I was't. When we got back we were finished but we went to mark it and we got one wrong, O well I said. It was such a great experience.
  "Woo Hooo! we are leaving for Taupo now" I said. The trip to Taupo was unberible because it was so hot and stuffy but luckily Malcom our bus driver opened the roof window that cooled us right down. Oh Yeah! I said to myself because we were going to the Lava Glass studios. As soon as I walked in I could just tell it was gonna be hot because you could see little ovel shaped thing with heat that reached up to 1200 degrees, thats how they make the lava glass and they shape it by useing a metal stick. Their was a lady that told us how they make it and where they get the type of metal from. It was very interesting.
  Our next destination was Huka Falls, I was curreis to see what it looked like. When we arrived all I could hear was the rushing sound of the water clashing against the sides. We had lunch there. Then all of a sudden about 44 tourist just came rushing it was funny because they wanted to have pictures with us. Then we left to our next destionation was the honey hive.
  Wow! the honey I was really looking forward to this place because I want to learn more about bees and how they make honey. When we got there, their was a guy who showed us around his name was Matt. He told us what differant bees their are and how they attack and defend. Then we got to go off and go in our groups to watch a video and go on the computer to learn about what they would do in a situaion of getting attacked.
Then we went to the Volcanic Activity Center. Their was a lady that showed us around and there was a earthquake simulator. It went up 6.2. We did a little quiz about 12 questions. The entrance was a plastic volcano. I learnt quite alot about volcanos and earthquakes.
Wooo Hooo! Yeah! we are going to our new camp now. At our new camp we were in groups of two and sleeping in groups of two. I was sleeping with Jake, Pretty much until 10.30 we were laughing because it was so hard to sleep. That night we had board games it was so awesome! I played uno and connect four pretty much the whole time.
