Northland!!

Our last trip!! Before we left, Dr.J gave us tons of money leftover!!!! We took a picture relishing in the cash we will probably have again.

We left on Monday and when we got there, we saw the treaty grounds where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed. This treaty has made New Zealand the bicultural place it is and played a major rule in preserving Maori culture! This sounds like an essay but I've seen the effects of this treaty!!, and we saw Cape Reinga and we saw the light house. It was a gorgeous day! And a long drive. Cape Reinga is where the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea meet! Then we got the best Fish n' Chips place. Yummy!! Then we came back and a had a fun girl bonding night watching High School Musical 3..

went on a speedboat to see the Hole in the Rock! it was raining hard and I was soaked!! I spent the rest of the day with the heater on, curled in a blanket, eating noodles. Then we went shopping then came back and played cards with James.

Then on April Fool's we pranked the other girls! We stole their keys and at 2 a.m. turned all their furniture upside down! Then throughout the day we did pranks on Sarah, putting her stuff in another room and stuff. That night she retaliated! She stole our toothbrushes and we had to hold witnesses hostage to find out where they were!! She also toiled papered our hotel room...it was funny!! We then signed peace treaties. What a great April's Fools. I'm still in the prank mood...

Then on the last day of our trip we saw dolphins!! I loved it!! We also got to stop by this BEAUTIFUL island and have a free cup of hot chocolate.A fulfilling day. We drove back, surprising our families by being a day early and I crashed!!

4 more days til Australia. I love you all.
