The Kiwi Centre

The Kiwi Centre

 We were in the car on the way to Hokitika. I was thinking about the cool Easter holiday we had so far. Camping at Punakaiki and moving to Westport after two days. It was raining pretty hard so you could hardly hear yourself think in Mum’s small car. Mum thought we should go back home because she was worried the roads would close and we would not be able to get back home. Brandon and me said NO we want to go to the kiwi centre. Mum and Dad said all right because they knew how much we wanted to go there.

 When we finally got there Brandon was getting pretty impatient to get inside so it was a big relief when we went inside. Brandon really enjoyed seeing all the animals. We nearly caught a crawly but the one l was aiming at a boy came in with his net all of a sudden and caught him. The one Brandon was aiming at got frightened by some other kids and swam off. My favourite animals were the Gold Mollies. I don’t know what Brandon’s favourite animal was.

 After that we went to this gift shop and l saw some Kiwi stickers and New Zealand bird stickers. The New Zealand bird stickers were $1 each but the Kiwi stickers were $2.50 each. They were pretty cool though. There were Kiwis with backpacks and sunglasses, there were Kiwis with swimming-goggles and sun-hats. I ended up buying the New Zealand bird stickers and the Kiwi stickers. It was $4.50 I gave the Kiwi stickers to Brandon and I kept the New Zealand bird stickers for myself.

 Overall I had a pretty good Easter holiday.
