New Year

Happy New Year everyone!

I went to Wellington which is the capital of New Zealand. I stayed at a place called Pekapeka. Most of my friends from my old school were there. Mostly all we did was swim in the pool and then I stayed at my friend's house. Then I went to Auckland and am staying at my other friend's house. I got a Blues hat which is the name of a rugby team. I am going to train with the Blues tomorrow because my friend's dad is the Blues trainer.

Today I got nipped by a crab at the beach. And I went canoeing. It was hot and I felt like a hot potato because the sand was soooooo hot!

Sorry for not posting sooner. I couldn't because in Pekapeka there was no internet connection.

Me on the aeroplane

This is me on the plane to Wellington. Can you see the little TV screen and an empty cup? I really like flying in a plane.

Christmas in the sun

On Christmas Day, I got more than 11 presents. My favourite ones were the Guinness Book of World Records 2009 and a Ipod. Here is a photo.

On Boxing Day, I went to the beach at Noosa. I went bodysurfing. The waves were really high. I got knocked over 3 times. Here are some photos.

Today is the last day that I will be in Noosa. The next time I post will be from New Zealand.
First we will be going to Wellington, then Auckland, then Tauranga and lastly Melbourne, Australia.

PS I can't put the photos on for some reason. I will try again later. (Ed)

Australia

The flight to Singapore was 12 hours and Singapore to Brisbane was 7 hours. I watched about 9 movies on the plane. I am staying with my grandparents and today I did lots of diving in their pool. Here is a photo of my best dive.

Today I saw a squashed frog on the side of the road. And pelicans at the beach and in the water I saw a stingray. It was about as long as my knees to my toes.

It is 29 degrees in Noosa today.

School

Today school finished . It was a half day. I got to bring in a PSP[PlayStationPotable]
It was really fun. I am going to my friend's house for a sleep over. When we leave Holland, we'll go to Singapore for three hours so I might be able to post to you there or in Australia when
we get there. In Australia it is summer so it will be about 30c every day and we will
be staying with my grandparents for Christmas. They have a pool so we will probably swim every day.

About me

I hope you enjoy reading my blog.

I am Alex. I am 8 years old. I like playing rugby. I come from New Zealand but I live in Holland.

I am doing this blog for homework because I will not be at school for 2 and a half extra weeks over the Christmas break. So I am doing this blog to show you all the things I am doing when I am down under. Down under means the southern hemisphere. I am going to Australia and New Zealand.
