Today was a very adventurous day. We started off very wet with a hike in the Redwood forest. It was quite a start to the day with many different events happening We were stranded for a good hour trying to reunite with the rest of the party. Although at some points it was a little stressful, it came out great. The bus ride to Auckland was very needed and we took a short nap on the bus. After our naps, we arrived in Auckland and went straight to the school. At first, we arrived a little early and didn't do much. But, soon after we settled in and were greeted by the Maori. They did a welcoming dance and welcomed us all in. They then did the Haka, the traditional dance that the Maori perform. They did a great job at doing it and did a great performance overall. We than ate some food and met some of the kids from the school. We talked with them and learned about each others cultures and ways of life. We had many laughs and got to know each other pretty well. We then learned how to do the Haka and performed it together with the school. We were guided by 3 girls and had a good time. They based our lives on movies and thought we were the same way. They thought we sang like high school musical or acted like the mean girls at school. All in all, we had a great time together and it was definitely a memorable time.
Today was mostly all about visiting the new kids from Rangitoto College in New Zealand. It was a memorable time adn we had heaps of fun!
