Day 4

                       Monday                        12.4.15


Dear Diary,
I woke up this morning still feeling a little sad. I remembered we were leaving today. Dad said we would have a bumpy ride home. I pulled up the blind. The sun came through the window and guess what I could see right there????




Mt Cook!!!!!!!I couldn't believe it. Nice sunny day with Mt Cook right in front of me. "Click click click". We all took some photos. Wow. My mum decided to go on a walk so we could see it a bit closer. So we got in the rental car had breakfast at the buffet and drove off to the path way. It was just a little frosty and slippery on the wooden swinging bridges. We had to hold on tight or we would slip. The walk was quite long and we finally reached the end. It was beautiful, we could see lots of ice-bergs coming out of the lake. We got lots of photos there and it was about time to head back. When we were heading back we heard a boom. "Avalanche" screamed my sister Annabelle. Dad said it was thunder but it was really sunny, maybe it was a land fall. We were in a rush because we had to get back to the airport at night and we still had a 4 hour drive.


Dad drove us down to a place that had some other things to look at. Dad stayed in  the car and we went to the blue lake. When we got there I couldn't see it but mum was pointing to it. There was a greenish brownish lake. Why did they call it the blue lake?? We went to the glacier lake. There was a grey lake with lots of icebergs in it. We rushed back to the car to and we were ready for a four hour drive. I was feeling excited to get back in the warmth at Auckland but I enjoyed Christchurch so much and there was so much pretty views but the only thing I wanted was it to snow. As soon as we got to lake Tekepo it started snowing. I was freezing cold. It had been such a long drive and we had finally reached the airport. I was feeling quite sad. I was going to miss everyone like Sofia and Daniela and Maria, Simon and aunty Gael as well. We got on our plane and had a very bumpy ride home. We booked a taxi and were home in no time.
