During the first week of the holidays I went to Rotorua with my sister and Dad, we did heaps of cool things like the Zorb, Luge and Huka Jets in Taupo. On Monday (the day after we arrived) me and my sister did the Zorb. You get strapped inside a big rubber ball and you get rolled down the hill. Me and my sister did the wet one so there were a few differences like instead of going by yourself you got to go with someone else (my sister didn't want to go by herself) and inside the rubber ball there was a smaller ball that was blue and was attached to the rubber ball with LOTS of wires. One of the people who worked there put 20 litres of warm water into the blue ball so that it was wet rather than dry. When we were inside the ball one of the guys pushed me and my sister down the hill where the ball was sitting and we got such a big fright because we didn't know when they were going to push the ball down. On our way down the hill my sister clinged her arms on to my leg because it was going really fast and she wanted it to stop, although it couldn't. When it was over she was so relieved.  On Tuesday (my birthday) me, my dad and sister went to Taupo to do the Huka Jets. The Huka Jets is where 8 - 10 people get into a jet boat and the jet boat driver rides around lots of obstacles and does spins in the water on the way to the Huka Falls (a waterfall in NZ). The driver went so fast that when the wind blew across your face sometimes it was so cold or strong that you could barely breathe! When we finished I knew that it was a birthday I will always remember!

On Thursday (the day before we left) me, my Dad and sister went to the Rotorua luge. We got a family pass which included a ride up and down the gondola and 10 luge passes. When we went up the gondola I was scared the whole time because I was afraid that the wires would snap and we would all die.Luckily, I am still alive. When we got out of the gondola we got our helmet’s on and queued up in a LONG line so we could start riding the luge. It was my sisters’ first time riding by herself so she went on the scenic track with my Dad. She went REALLY slow. My Dad and her took about 20 – 30 minutes! I also went on the scenic track but I only took 5 minutes so when I got to the bottom I was waiting for AGES! For the next 2 rides I stayed behind my sister, so even though I was going REALLY slow, I wasn’t waiting at the bottom for them to appear. Because there were 10 luge rides I got the last 1. I went as fast as I could because I was going pretty slow before. When I finished I was sad that I had to go, I wanted to keep on doing more!
