Explanation Healthy Food

This is a Explanation of why we should eat healthy food.

Colourful fruit and vegetables contain many of the vitamins, minerals and other good stuff your body needs to maintain good health and energy. They also protect against the effects of aging. Many of the phytochemicals and other compounds that make fruit and vegetables such healthy foods also give them colour.

Vitamin C is found in most fruit especially citrus fruit, blackcurrant, kiwi fruit, pawpaw and mango. Vitamin B

Releases energy from food
Promotes a healthy nervous system

Sugar and fat is not good for you. You should not eat sugar and fat only sometimes you need it. You can have some sugar on your breakfast, milos, tea and coffee. Fat will make you fat.

Reading labels is a good thing. You probably read the labels on food packets/boxes so you know how much bad/good stuff it has in it. E.g you're looking to see how much sugar it has in it, so you go to the nutrition information look at sugars and look in the 100g column.

Meal balance is when you have a little bit of something like you can’t have all meat or vegetables. You would have a little bit of everything.

Some foods give you energy which makes you strong and fit. There are calcium, vegetables, carrots (well I’m sort of saying that for the dark) and meat.

If you don’t eat healthily you could get sick, die, or have a heart attack. Lots of things can happen, like if you drank something bad like powerade and you have only done 1 minute sport, it could make you sick.

It is important to eat healthily because you won’t get sick.

Healthy time!

You have to stay healthy so you can be strong and survive. Foods are the things we need so we can stay healthy, but make sure that they don’t have too many of mostly… anything! Oh, and make sure you don’t eat junk food all the time or you’ll get sick.

The “5 a day” thing means that you need the right amount of food. If you have too many, well, figure it out yourself. You have to eat about 2 fruits but not the same color and 3 vegetables different colors too. Some of the colors are Red, Green and Blue/Purple. Fruits and vegetables from red can be red grapes and red kumara. For green are kiwifruits then celery. Finally for blue/purple, blackberries and eggplants.

Vitamins are in almost every healthy food. There are some vegetables or fruit with vitamin C, for an example, the green or red peppers/capsicum or parsley. But those were the vegetables, now we are going to the fruits, they are citrus fruit, blackcurrants and kiwifruit.

There are two types of sugar, natural sugar and plain sugar. Natural sugars are in fruit such as apples and oranges, but they are still good for you. Plain sugar is in candy, cookies and other sweet things. DO NOT eat a lot of sweet things! Fat is a component in food. Some foods, including fruits and vegetables, have almost no fat. They include nuts, oil, butter and meat such as beef but make sure you keep the meat to a minimum because some food have bad fat that stick to the tubes of your heart and block the blood system.

Balanced meals mean that you need different colors of fruit every day. You need the different food colors because they can work together to make our body going. If you haven’t had balanced meal, you might not get that much strength and your body will not work well at all.

The problems if we are not healthy can be bad for our body because one of the diseases are heart attacks. That can be caused if we eat too much salt but sometimes you need a little bit of salt but not a lot and there is more than just heart diseases. I would tell you but I can’t remember any of it.

To read labels in the food packets might tricky but they are not hard at all.

All you have to do is to look in the part where it says “100 per serving” and if you want to figure out how many sugar or salt/sodium, you need to look in front of the label and try and find the name of it. It might say carbohydrate or calcium, energy etc. That is where you want to look for the name and then you have to look in the column where it says “100 per serving”. And figure out how much there is of grams, look in the labels but they might be in the front.

Not everything is about eating food, sometimes it’s about doing exercise because it keeps the blood system flowing and if you are all sweaty, that is okay. It means you did a lot of good exercise and that it is really hot in your muscles that the muscles are letting out a liquid that carries the heat and takes it out of your head. I know this question might sound gross but why do you think sweat tastes like saltwater? If you said because there is some salt in our muscles, you are absolutely right.

Hope you enjoyed reading this project of how to stay healthy.

Fact:

When you are a baby or getting old your bones are not as strong as they are now so you have to keep those bones really healthy when you are little.

Explanation superfood

Healthy foods are foods you need, but if you don’t eat healthily you will get sick. Lots of people have become ill because of the junk food.

We need to have a healthy diet. And that’s why we have 5 + a day. It is alright to have some sugar and fat because we need some of it. 5 + a day means that we need to have 2 fruits and 3 veggies a day so we have a good balanced diet.

Fat on our bodies is made by sugar and salt and it is not good for us because we will get fatter than ever. If we have too much sugar we will get fat,slow and sick. But if we have our 5 + a day we will be fit and fast. The foods that are sweet like lollies or junk food taste nice only because the sugar that makes it sweet.

Vitamins are good for us. They have all different jobs. Vitamin c fights against infection and is used in tissue repair and general health

and helps the body absorbs iron from food. Vitamin k is for clotting the blood. Calcium is essential for healthy teeth and bones.

There are always labels on food packet with what and how much is in it, all foods will have different types of things in them, here are some of them:protein,calcium,vitamins,fibre,iron,carbohydrate,nutrients,sugar and fat

We need to have a balanced meal so I Miller young will tell you an e.g ok here it is e.g we can have meat as big as our palm. And have to have lot’s of different foods and fruits it is not about having things like apple and orange in one go it is about having a variety of different food at different times.

My trip to Scotland

Hi, my name is Wyatt. I just left Dundee, I stayed in Dundee for one week, I stayed in a enormous hotel. It had a pool and a playground that had a slide into the pool.

Today I am off to Banff. I landed at Banff airport and got off the plane. There was a model shop so I bought myself a model to build.

After that I went to the hotel but someone was still in my room! So for 2 hour, I learnt how to speak Scottish. By the time I had learnt some Scottish, the person had left my room and I could move in. I decided to eat in my room, I ordered room service which they brought up to me at 6.30pm. I had haggis, mash potato and vegetables. Followed by a huge dessert of ice cream, chocolate cake and a cup of hot chocolate.

The next day, I went to a theme park. I went on the red dragon roller coaster! We zoomed down the track. People were screaming their lungs out. By the end of the day I was exhausted so when I got home I flopped in to bed.

In the morning, I didn't want to get out of bed but I had too because I was touring going Banff, taking photos of the big towers. They were amazing!

When I was out taking the photos, I meet two boys. Their names were Ollie and Joshua, they

were really nice boys so I invited them to come to my hotel for a party. The party was such fun that night Ollie and Joshua stayed for a sleepover. In the morning, I took the two boys home. I returned to the hotel and cleaned up.

I decided to go out to a restaurant to have something to eat. I decided to be brave and try a local dish of haggis, it was delicious.

After that I had to pack my bag, it was time to go on the plane to Anaa. It took a good couple of hours, I got to watch Nitro Circus movie on the plane. I wish I could do their amazing stunts. When I got off the plane I was really tired, so I went strange to the hotel. I went straight to sleep but I was woken at 2.00am by a train rumbling past the hotel. What a pain to be staying in a hotel by a railway line! I couldn’t get back to sleep so I went outside to get some fresh air. Finally I was feeling tired so I went back inside and went to sleep.

In the morning I woke up and went out for breakfast and had eggs on toast, it was delicious. After that I went back to the hotel, to have a sleep because of not getting much sleep with the trains going past. It was so annoying!!

Then I went to a massive castle, this is a photo of the castle. I was shocked how big it was, it was beautiful, it was very old but it had been done up inside, stunning!! Trees were surrounding it, with large walls. The view was impressive. It was really tall but from the outside you can’t see that good because the trees are in the way. I looked out at the sea at the top, it was beautiful looking at the sea. I wish I lived there, thats how stunning it was.

Next I took a long drive, 2 hours. I saw loads of birds like the fantail and the kingfisher. I drove alongside a river. When I got home I had a rest on the couch, while I watched a movie. I was feeling hungry so I headed out for dinner, I had a mince and cheese pie then for pudding I had chocolate sundae, delicious.

In the morning I woke up at 9 o'clock, I had a sleep in for an hour. Then off to the zoo I went. I saw a Red Panda, it had its own tunnel in its habitat. I saw the elephant it was humongous!!! I think it was the biggest one I’ve ever seen. I got to go in the lion enclosure, we fed them meat from inside a truck. Next we saw the giraffe, it was eating leaves and grass.

After we went to the diary and got a ice cream it was really hot I was in scotland when I got home I packed my bag and went on the plane to Balta. I'm in Balta now it took me three hours to get where Im now.

This is my third time here it is a cool place. now I'm going to the spy tower it’s bigger than me two hundred meters higher. Im going back to NZ.

MY TRIP TO CHINA

(:by Sam:)

One day me, Mum, Dad, and my brother Max went to China in Beijing.When we got off the plane we went and it took us 10 hours off the plane and to our hotel in a taxi and it took us 10 minutes.We asked the man for our room number and he said number 100 so we went up the lift 4 stories high and our room was right next to us, we got into our room and looked around our room. We all chose where we were going to sleep so we got to our bed and went to sleep because it was night time.

When we woke up, I asked my mum if we could go to the zoo she said “Of course.” When we got to the zoo we went to the dark caves and saw bats ,glow worms and lots more. After the dark caves, we went on the jungle safari and saw tigers , panda, red panda and a lot more and off to last but not least ocean adventure and we saw spider crab, jellyfish, bull shark, blue ringed octopus and the GREAT WHITE!!!.After the zoo, we went to a restaurant and I had spring rolls, mum had sushi dad had chicken legs and Max had rice and they all tasted great and for dessert me and Max had ice cream and jelly.We went home and watched a movie called The Walking Dead. After the movie, I went to bed, I had a dream about what happened in the movie.

In the morning, we went to McDonalds for breakfast, we all had a hash brown and a burger, me and Max got a Halo toy from the movie Halo forward unto dawn, I got a helmet that Carter wears and Max got a blue and grey brute holding a gravity hammer. We went back home and I watched TV, I watched Harry potter The Deathly Hallows part 1 and 2.After the movie, we went to the beach, I went diving with my dad and we caught 4 Hoki and ate 1 each, it was yummy. For a little treat, me and my dad got to go out to pick an ice cream, I picked caramel flavour and I got a ride on dads motorbike down a BMX track and over a big jump and thats when I did a double backflip, which was EPIC!!!.After The BMX track, we all went to the Antarctic Centre and went skiing, I was snowboarding down down down the hill and back up the elevator and when we went home I got a actual snowboard with a picture of a demon on the back and Max got snow goggles.We went home and watched the movie Exterminator 2 about an invasion of evil robots and the army and airforce have to stop them from taking over the world the movie was AWESOME!!!but my brother got scared at night so that was bad. In the morning I went to test out my new snowboard (after my breakfast and I mum) because Winter had just started I tried it out on a giant mountain and I went EXTREMELY FAST!!! and after that I got $10 to spend at the dairy so I got bubble gum for $3,2 box`s of spaceman candy sticks for $2, and a giant lollipop for $5 and it took me the rest of the day to finish it.

Sadly:( it was the morning that we had to go home so on the plane we went and all the way home and it took us 10 hours to get back to New Zealand.

Italy By Ivan

Day 1

Hello! I have just arrived at Italy to have a superb holiday. The first thing we did was go to a pizza cafe. The food was so good that it was mouth-watering.

Next, we went to a park and fed the pigeons. I saw lots of pigeons and I heard their crowing.

They were flapping around like mad, one even landed on my dad’s head. It was a funny sight.

We stayed in an eye-popping hotel. The hotel had lots of fun stuff in it.

It was so hot that I had to wear short-sleeved t-shirts and shorts. I had such a good time that I sorta felt like I lived there.

Some of the people were a bit snooty.

I felt the smooth crust on the pizza.

There has been lots of animals and history.

I went on plane and have been there for four days. I went there with my mum, dad and sister. I also went there on Sunday in summer March 30th. We left at 9:00am and arrived on the next three days at 11:00am.

It was a bit crowded and it was really sunny.

It felt a lot different to Waikanae when I went to Venice because we had to ride boats except for cars.

Then we went to Rome to investigate the beautiful parks. There were lots of different types of animals such as bears, goats,butterfly’s, and especially pigeons.

The cafes in Rome were absolutely fabulous! The chefs were experts at making pizza and pasta.

After we finished our pizza, we went to a magnificent museum of art. We saw the statue of Michelangelo (you wouldn’t want to see the statue) and we also saw the painting of the Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo Davinchi. We oohed and aahed as we saw the magnificent paintings of lots of famous people.

Then we went back to our hotel to have a good night sleep.

Day 2

After waking up, we had some bread with marmite (we got it from home before we went to

Italy). Next, we went to an awesome swimming pool. It was really refreshing. We played lots of games with a beach ball in the pool. When we finished the game, we had a little swimming race with my dad. I had a wonderful time in the swimming pool. There were lots of pigeons surrounding us. They were a humongous flock.

After the swimming pool, we decided to go to another pizza cafe. The pizza had tomato sauce with melted cheese on the tomato sauce. Oops! I almost forgot to tell you that underneath the tomato sauce was the crust. If there wasn’t any crust, it wouldn’t be pizza!

After the snack, we went to the Italian zoo. In the Italian zoo, there were goats called mufloni and there was a bear called the Marsican brown bear. And there was also a falcon called the Peregrine falcon. The had lots of different types of features to the normal ones,eg. the mufloni has bigger horns than normal goats.

Next, we went to a library. In the library, there were lots of books that actually were written in Italian. So we couldn’t get any books. But there was one that was written from an Italian author that made a book called The Divine Comedy. It’s normally a book for adults.

Then, we went back to the park but instead going on the playground. It wasn’t much for people six years old like me so I just had a little lay down and watch my sister play on the playground. After that, we played a little game of tag. I went easy on my sister because she’s not a fast runner.

Then we went to the movies. Cars was on. Though we nearly always watch it, we still watched it, so we relaxed, ate some popcorn and some lollies, drank a soda and watched the movie. I forgot to tell you that it only was on 2D.

We were exhausted after the movie, but we still had fun. When we got to the hotel, my sister was already asleep, and when my head hit the pillow, I was out like a light.

Day 3

When we woke up, we had some marmite on bread.

After breakfast, we went to the Italian museum of history. We saw lots of famous people, but only in paintings.

After that, we went to the park again (my sister really liked it and she begged to go there again. She really wanted, so I agreed and got my parents to go there to). We saw heaps of pigeons, so we fed them all. It was hard work. The pigeons were really close to us because we had lots of bread to feed all of them. Sometimes, some of the pigeons that we fed wanted some more and stole the food from other pigeons. It was pretty My sister did that to every pigeon that did the same thing that the other pigeon did.

After that, we had a little nap for about thirty minutes. Then we went to the cafe full of pizza. My favourite was the pizza with lots of melted cheese on top. It was completely impossible to say that you don’t like it.

Then we went back to the hotel (It might not be enough but all of this wasted a lot of time). Then we went to sleep when we hit the pillow.

Day 4

The next morning, we had some marmite on bread again.

We went to take some pictures of Italy to remember everything we saw. After going to the airport, we had a little snack to refresh ourselves.

We packed up and went on the plane and set off. When we reached our destination, I was really proud to be back home. It might have been a great time in Italy, but the best thing ever was to be with my family and friends. It was the best days in my life.

France By Luc

I went to France for a week. My family did not know what plane we were going on.

Finally we found out it was the plane with the French flag on it. It was going to be the best day ever.

It took as 30 hours to get there and we stayed in a hotel.

I had a pool in my room and we were right

next to the beach.

My mum took me on the beach it was fantastic.

We had a shop across the road, it had clothes, gadget and other things you can think of. My mum took me their every day and bought me new clothes it was the best shop ever made.

We also went to the Eiffel Tower

and I climbed it. It was fantastic. I had trouble getting down.

Next we went to the park, it was the best park. After that we went back to the hotel and we went in the pool in our togs. We stayed in pool for 20 minutes before we had to go to bed. It was dark but lucky my mum was on the top bunk and I had a wonderful dream because my brain was pitch black.

My family and me went to a place called Seven Eleven and in it was no ordinary shop, it had toys, tablets and phones. Mum bought a phone for me and a tablet for Ben. Dad bought a barbie for Zoe and then we went home.

I went to the beach with my mum.

You are probably wondering where my

brother and sister are, they did not want to come. After that we went back to the hotel in Troyes. The next day we went to the zoo, we saw a koala and a lion that was stuffed. We head back to the hotel and as it was time to go to the airport. We would soon be home in New Zealand.

My travel blog to Australia By Kai

Day 1

Hi there I’ve just arrived in Australia after a 3 hour plane trip from Auckland. The city we were in was Sydney. I went with my mum ( Jen ) and my Grandma (Sue). We stayed in a batch. I loved the batch, it was AWESOME!!! We had to take a taxi to get from the airport to the batch. It was sunny for the whole time we were there. For dinner we had some chips and some fish I didn’t know what kind of fish it was. I got to stay up until 9:00pm. In Auckland, I wasn’t allowed to stay up till 9:00pm because I was only five. When I went to bed, my mum did.

Day 2

The next morning I was happy that we wasn’t going to leave because we was here for a whole entire week . Today we was going to the shops with Kyle and Gavin. At 7:00am I had cereal with some yogurt for breakfast. Then at 8:00am, we waited for Kyle and Gavin to pick us up and take us to the shops. First, we went to the supermarket to get some fruit. Then, I was so lucky because I got to go and pick a toy, it was a small water gun that was the colour blue. Then we went to a cafe, I got a hot chocolate with a marshmallow. After that we went back to the batch to have some morning tea well the cafe was sort of a morning tea. That night we had some chips for dinner last night we had some dinner at the airport. When I went to bed I didn’t want to go to bed so I tried to stay awake but it didn’t work.

At the playground there was a sausage sizzle. I had one it was delicious. The playground had a big tunnel slide. Then we went home to have some lunch. I had a cheesymite role. When It was dinner I was happy cause we was having a cooked tail of a Balmain Bug. Then I went to bed.

Because we were so close to town we went on a train to go there. when it was 2:30pm we went back home on the train. When we got home it was about 2:40pm. When it was dinner time we sat down and had fish and chips while we watched a movie. When I went to bed I couldn’t wait for tomorrow.

Day 5

The next morning was the last morning there. Tonight we were going to leave Australia. When I got up I realised that my mum and Grandma were packing up. When they were almost finished I helped them. Finally we were done. The last bit of packing up was putting the clothes in the suitcases. We got to have some fruit and crackers after. Wow that fruit and crackers were yum yum. Then we got to go for a walk to the park again. After a good walk we went home and had a big rest on the couch. After a huge rest on the couch we had some chocolate with water. Then we decided to go to the shops. This time Kyle and Gavin let us borrow one of their cars. They said to look after it, and make sure it doesn’t get damaged. Phew it did NOT get damaged. After a long day my mum said “should we stay here for two more days”, me and my Grandma said “yes”. So we stayed there for one more day. At 4:00pm Friday, we decided to have an early dinner. At 4:30pm my mum cooked dinner. It was chicken. When dinner was ready my mum and Grandma sat down at the table and ate. When it was bedtime I had the strangest dream ever in my life. I was flying with unicorns. When we landed at the batch my unicorn went to its unicorn kennel. In the batch was Kyle and Gavin with my Grandma and mum. Then I went back to ride on my unicorn. I called the unicorn Howdy. It was a pretty cool name. And then came the scary bit in my dream. I was on my unicorn alone, then suddenly a black thing rushed past me. I was wondering what it was. Then it rushed past again but this time it stopped. It was a black unicorn a bad one. Luckily I had a sword a golden one. I tried to cut him but it didn’t work. Howdy was running really fast so I told him to stop and he did. But then I told him to go fast again, because it actually wasn’t a good idea. I called the black one Bad.

Day 6

When I woke the next morning I saw a flag in the next door neighbours. This is the flag.

The flag was an Australian one. Today we were going to the shops. We were getting some pasta for dinner. When I got up I had cereal with yogurt. After breakfast I played with my toys that I brought. Then it was time to go to the shops. When we got to the shops, I said can I get a toy. My mum said “no but you can get a chocolate bar”. I got a flake. After the flake we hopped in the car.

When we were on the plane, I got some food, chippies and a sandwich, it was 3 o'clock. We stopped at Auckland airport first, then we flew on to Australia, where we boarded our last plane for the final part of our journey to Thailand. I was so tired . When we finally arrived, we went straight to the hotel and had some dinner, I had fried rice. Next we watched some TV. We watched the all blacks and they won 5/31. Then I fall asleep and fell off my bed on to the floor so hard that it went bang. In the morning I woke up on the floor. Then me and mum went to the swimming pool and it had a spa pool.

During the night there was an earthquake. I didn’t feel it but maybe that is what made me fall out of bed. Later that day we joined some crowds to watch the King of Thailand drive by. He just looked normal.

The next day we went to a huge water park. It was awesome. That night we went to the zoo and saw tigers. I wanted to get one for a pet but mum said no.

On our final day we went to see elephants at a sanctuary. They used to roam around the streets of Bangkok. I touched an elephant’s trunk and it felt dry.’

That night we flew back to New Zealand and I was so tired but happy.

My trip to Thailand by Kevin

Me, my sister, my mum and my dad went to Thailand. It is near Burma. It cost $200 and the flight took 5 hours. When we landed it was dawn and we stayed at a hotel. In the morning we went to the beach. Thailand is about the size of France and has 64 million people. The people and the beaches are lovely. They do have earthquakes though like New Zealand. I was hoping to see the King of Thailand but we didn’t.

We went to the capital of Thailand called Bangkok. We went to the zoo and saw tigers and monkeys. I wanted to get a tiger as a pet but Mum wouldn’t let me. At night we saw hot air balloons in the sky.

The next day we went to a water slide. They were really long fun slides. It was awesome.

On our last day we went to an elephant sanctuary. It was an awesome trip.

Travel blog by Miller When I went to Turkey, it was summer.I had never been to Turkey but I’ve been now. I went there for 3 weeks. It took 3 days to get there. I went with mum, dad, Maddie and Spencer. When we got there, we went to the zoo and saw Wolves, Brown bears, Lynxes, Wildcats, Hyenas, Foxes and Jackals, birds such as Shearwater, Heron, Ibis and other unique animals found in the country like Asia Minor Spiny Mouse, Taurus Ground Squirrel, Jackass Shrew and Tigers, they were all very interesting. When we went into town I saw a flag, I noticed it was the flag for Turkey. The flag had a big moon and a tiny little star. In the afternoon we went to see oiled wrestling it has been so since Ottoman times. After that we went back into big holes to sleep in, I don’t know why the holes were created. When it was morning I went to the very centre of Turkey and got told by mum that the capital city of Turkey is Ankara . After mum told me that we went straight there and there was a little place where it told us all the languages Turkish people spoke,there are some such as Turkish, Greek, Armenian, Zazaki , Hebrew , Laz , Kurdish and Balkan.For dinner I had Turkish cuisine one of the best in the world I thought it was very tasty and healthy. One of their famous dishes is "Shih Tao Wq.Even though Turkey is a Muslim country, the people were Western style clothing, although in a modest form. In Turkey I saw people driving around in Fiat, Opel, Volkswagen, Toyota, Honda, BMW, Audi, Peugeot, Renault and Mercedes. In Turkey Summer starts in June. Near the southern and western coasts in Autumn, it's soft and quite warm till late November. Winter in Turkey is from November to March. These months can be chilly and rainy and occasionally cold. In Turkey spring will begin April 20 and conclude on May 10.Tayyip Erdoğan is the prime minister of Turkey Erdoğan became the Prime Minister of Turkey on 2003 March 14.We got to meet him. He showed us around.After he did that he let us go back to our hole the only problem is that there are 80,694,485 people in Turkey, so we had to squeeze our self there , it took about 3 minutes longer than we usually took. Finally we got there and played some of the games we had brought.The best time to go to Turkey is mid June and early September. The next morning I woke up and it was dark and cold but it was 9 o'clock and it did appear to be rather warm in Istanbul, so I thought it would be warm in other parts of the country and guess what it was. For lunch we went to a restaurant (I don’t know the name). I had scrumdidlyumptious food ( that I also didn’t know the name of).After lunch I took pictures of these buildings.

This was my favourite place I went to in Turkey because it was so huge and it was very awesome.

This is me on my boat. The things in the water were sting ray. I was very scared because I thought I was going to fall onto the Stingray.On the boat we didn’t have to wear a life jackets.When I got of the boat we met a guy that raced in Turkey,he took me around on lots of flash cars, my favourite car I drove in was the Audi and the Lamborghini.

This is what he took me around in. After that he invited us around for dinner ,he told us his name but I forgot.Then he showed us all his cool cars and he had a lamborghini, audi, bmw,jalopy, hot rot and a porsche. They were all very cool but when he showed us the mustain we were amazed.The steering wheel was on the other side and in the front there was a bench so three people could sit on. It was our last day in Turkey the next day so we made our beds really comfortable, we slept in hammocks that had been connected with rope to two high rocks. The next day we packed up and when we were packing I found an $10 turkish note. Mum said that I could keep it so I did. We finished packing but we had to rush BECAUSE WE WERE LATE!!!!!!!!!!!.We rushed there and guess what we were late, so we had to wait for 3 hours, and the wait was very long but we caught a plane. We caught air NZ.

Overall, I had a fantastic time!.
