Ports of Auckland trip

On Tuesday we went to the ports of Auckland.We had two trips first the maritime museum and then we had a boat trip.   We first had to listen to the rules and we had something to eat for morning tea. We put our bags away and went to our groups.

We started with the maritime museum. Rooms 15 and 14 had to first looked at the things that were on the bottom floor. We saw lot of things, like wakas and boats. We weren’t allowed to touch most things because they were unique and one of a kind and some of them were really old. We saw a little movie what people did when they woke up in the olden days. We saw what the bedrooms looked like in a boat. The were very narrow and small in width.

After we saw everything in the first floor we swapped with rooms 12 and 13 and went to the top floor. There was a game where there had to be lots of people to control the boat and complete the mission. There was a captain and a person who looked at the compass to see where we were headed and lost of other rolls. We saw the trophy that New Zealand won from England on a boat race. We learnt a lot about boats and famous people who  rode boats.

It was finally time to go to the boat trip. The instructor Emma explained that we were going on a ferry. I was so excited. We climbed on, we had options to go on the top of the boat or the bottom, so me, Masiha and Honey went to the top. We were having so much fun. The boat kept on going up and down and we had to hold on to the railing to keep our balance. Me, Masiha and Honey kept going on all the floors to see it from different angles. It was very windy so we had to hold on to our hats. Everyone kept on waving to people who passed by and some people waved but no all of them.
