Trip to Cromwell

Trip to Cromwell

On the 2nd week of the school holidays my family and I went to Cromwell.  One of the reasons for  going down there is because of our Grandma, she had a birthday. We also went down to see other members of our family. This family was new to me because they are my step-Dad’s family.

Ok here comes the boring part. The 1st thing we had to do is the 7 hour drive to Cromwell. We got on the road at 8:00 am. We didn’t do much in the car, all we did was talk about what we would do 1st when we got to Cromwell. We also ate and had some 350 mill fizzy drinks. We did  that until we got to Geraldine. We had a little break and then we drove non stop to Cromwell with a few photo opportunities on the way.  At about ½ the way there I started feeling sick.  We got to some swervy roads and it didn’t help that we were stuck behind a tourist all the way and then on the hill I threw up and all I could taste was vomit, at that point we had 30 minutes until we got there. When we were going around the lake (Lake Dunstan) we could see Cromwell, we all got excited. We arrived and got all of our bags out of the car and took them inside of the house we were staying in, we had 2 hours until we had to go again.

We had a good 2 hours and then we had to go to someone else's house for dinner. We had a barbeque, meat and salad with doritos. We went home and went to bed.

It was day 2 in Cromwell. We had a beautiful view of the mountains with snow on them and we had a beautiful garden outside too. It was 8:00 am and we were having breakfast because we were going to see our Grandma. It was a 5 minute drive to get to where she was staying. It was a pretty interesting drive because of the view and a lot of awesome stuff on the side of the road. My Grandma lived in a retirement home. We went inside and walked all the way to the other side of the retirement home and there she was sitting in front of the doorway. She was looking better than ever she was less forgetful as last time. But the main reason we were there because our Grandma was having a birthday. We brought her a present with battery powered candles and some body wash.  It was great that we could see her but we had to go otherwise we couldn't get to the next activity.

Our next activity was go karting. Everyone was excited, this is what we wanted to do when we heard that we were coming down to Cromwell. We booked a time and it was in 2 minutes until we had to get our gear on and be on the track, so we had to sprint down the hill. Everybody made it down the hill in time and we went through the safety check and then we were on the track. We had 10 minutes out on the track. Everyone was on a single go kart but my Stepdad was on a go kart with my little brother Bryce. I got 9 laps completed and my sister Hannah-mae got 7. My best lap time was 56.20 seconds and my sister got 59.0. Seconds. We finished up on our last lap and we found out our final result. 2 people we didn’t know got 1st and 2nd and I got 3ed. We had a lot of fun and we are looking ford to next time we go down.

Now we went to explore the Highlands Motor Sport park and decided what we can do next. We decided the next thing what we would do, we were going to go on a safari ride around the edge of the Motor sports professional track. The ride was teaching us about dinosaurs and there was a playground and frisbee golf at the end of the ride. It was a wonderful experience and we had a lot of fun.

We went home and we relaxed for the rest of the day and we had an early night but we can't wait for the next experience tomorrow.

The next morning we explored the shops in the middle of town. It was pretty boring but we had fun watching the little creek that went through the middle of the path. It was around midday at this point so we went to the bakery and got some lunch. It was pretty good, I had a pie and a piece of lollie cake. We went to Mini Golf after that and we went around the course, on one of the holes I got a hole in one and one of the corsairs had water in it. We all had a good time on the last day and we hope we can come back down soon.

It was a fun time going down there but we had fun. We all loved it but we had to go. Our last stop on the way home was lake tekapo. It was a beautiful scenery and it was a good choice for pictures.
