Day #2: New Zealand by Land and Sea
After a short ride through Auckland it is time to start exploring the rest of the country. Today you are going to venture around the north island of New Zealand to look at active volcanoes, gorgeous beaches, windswept coastline and lush, green bush. As a group, you will start at Rangitoto, the largest volcano in New Zealand before driving west to Karekare, a stunning beach on the outskirts of Auckland. You will finish the day by driving north to visit Tane Mahuta, the oldest living kauri tree in New Zealand.

Activity 1: After a very busy day of sightseeing you and your group drive from Tane Mahuta to your hotel in Dargaville. When you arrive you decide to sit down and record your thoughts in your travel diary.

Before you start writing, take a minute to read more about Rangitoto island, Karekare beach and Tane Mahuta. On your blog, tell us which of the three places you most enjoyed visiting and why.
I enjoyed visiting Rangitoto Island because I saw the different kinds of birds that were there and where they lived.
Reason for visiting Rangitoto Island
I would want to count how many trees there is in Rangitoto because it will be interesting so I can compare how many trees in other country's and compare it to Ranigitoto's and see which has most trees
Hi Macky,
ReplyDeleteI see you were very interested in visiting Rangitoto Island. Did you find any interesting facts about the Island? Many students have shared that you can go for an adventurous walk up the mountain. I would love to go there one day and I hope you get the opportunity to visit this place too so you can see it's magnificent view!
Good work!
