Sting Rays

Today we woke up at 7 to get ready to feed the sting rays.  It started at 9 so we had to leave by 7:20 to get there on time.  When we got to town we missed are turn so we had to turn around.  When we did we saw a truck was coming in the same lane and it took my dad about 2 seconds to realize we were on the wrong side of the road.  When we finally got there we had to get waders so we would not get wet.  We waded out to the reef and stood in a single file line so the sting rays would not go in-between us, get scared, then stab us with there barbed stingers.  When we started feeding them you get a piece of fish hold it flat on your hand and let them suck it off.  It was a little scary at first but then it was getting more fun.  We got done with no accidents and headed back to shore.  When we got in the car my dad decided to go see the longest wharf in New Zealand.  It took about 30 minutes to get to the end.  People were jumping off of it into the ocean to swim.  Others were fishing of the wharf too.  We got tired of that and got in the car again.  My dad then said that he wanted to go see the light house and that we were half way there.  2 hours later we got there and you had to hike a hill to get there and not even go inside.  The only cool part was we were on the eastern most part of New Zealand.  We did not get to surf today because the waves were 6 to 8 feet tall and beginners should only ride 2 to 4 foot waves.  When we got home we decided to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.  It is still going but I decided to go ahead and type this blog.  Remember to comment because that is basically the only way to communicate.  Good luck basketball team on the next game!
