We left on Sunday - all cheery and ready for the adventure that lay before us. I was in the Red Van with Gerry, Capri, Jahnesta, Joseph, Manaaki, Guy, West and our driver Matua Jason. We travelled without a hitch to Wairoa and then to Napier. In Napier we visited the National Aquarium, an amazing place. The kids could not believe it and were running around looking at all of the wonderful creatures. We were also lucky enough to make it to feeding time for the crocodile. We thought it was fake until it started swimming! I told the kids not to yell when it jumped up to get the kai and ended up screaming myself! It was soooo funny. We also saw sharks, a giant turtle, huge crayfish, big goldfish, seahorses and stingrays, water dragons and so many other things. There was a diver in the tank too. The kids beat him in a game of paper, scissors, rock. A conveyor belt took us through a tank and we were surrounded by the beauty of the underwater world. It had definitely changed from the time I had last been there as a child. We left the aquarium and had lunch at a nearby park and hit the road again - next stop Palmerston North
