I went trout fishing in Rotorua. Trout is special because you can’t buy it in a shop. If you want to eat trout then you have to catch your own.
Once a month, children can catch trout at a special place in Rotorua. You need a licence to fish – just like you need a licence to drive a car. I was the second fastest child to catch a trout that day. I caught my trout in just over three minutes!
My family went to Samoa for the holidays. We went to Savai’i Island first and then the main island, Upolu. I did lots of snorkelling, swimming and kayaking. I saw amazing, bright blue starfish when I snorkelled. It was a fantastic holiday!
Mum and I walked to the little village shop with a pig! The shop sold pink bread and orange coloured bread!
Pink tuna sandwiches – yum
Our beautiful beach on Savai’i Island
We went to a turtle pond and hand-fed the turtles fresh papaya (pawpaw).
The buses are very colourful
We watched the locals play volleyball in a small village
There are pigs and piglets everywhere. They are very friendly.
These men are play kilikiti – a Samoan version of cricket. They were playing in a big competition with lots of other teams. Vincent bought two kilikiti balls from the market. The balls are made from all parts of a coconut
We went to a cave that was filled with fresh water. You climbed up the cliff and jumped off it into the deep pool. It was so much fun!
