2 days ago I went to Bay Wave which is a pool in Tauranga. It is a pool with a Hydroslide and lots of waves. I went on the Hydroslide 6 times! But I prefer boogey boarding. I went boogey boarding with my friend Felix and it was really fun. You go really fast when you catch a wave. I was swimming in the Pacific Ocean. It was very salty, and very warm.
The next day I went to Lake Tarawera which is about 1 hour and 45 minutes from Tauranga. The photos are of Mt Tarawera and Lake Tarawera. In Lake Tarawera we went to Hot Water Beach where my friend Joseph was camping. There is hot water there because Mt Tarawera erupted in 1886 (?) and there is volcanic rock at the bottom of the lake which heats the water. I got burnt feet because I was standing in the part of the lake were it was steaming.
I went biscuiting with my friends and we went really fast. Biscuiting is getting pulled on a round thing that looks like a donut from the back of a boat. I fell off because one of my friends was sitting down and my other friend was standing up. I was at the end and my friend that was sitting down pushed my other friend who was in the middle and he fell on to me and I fell off. The boat didn't stop because they couldn't hear us shouting. So I had to swim until the boat stopped to fill up the water bottles. I then got onto the biscuit which was really hard. I swam about 50 metres to catch up to them. It was really fun. When we were going back to the bay we all jumped off and swam to shore in our lifejackets. The water was fresh and not salty like the ocean.
