Punakaiki

On Friday it was my step-dads birthday. We organised to have holiday in Punakaiki for 3 days and 2 nights. We booked our accommodation on Webb Street. We packed all the stuff we needed and booked Arlo and Pixel's (my 2 dogs) accommodation, we chose to give them to a place that treated all the dogs the same, I say this because we looked at a place that had 3 levels of accommodation and expensive and food wasn't included! It was a ridiculous price like $75. So anyway I woke up in the morning (well actually my mum woke me up) and I got dressed and then Steve asked me if I wanted to go with him to drop the dogs off I said "Sure!" so we drove with the dogs in the car to the place and then drove back again. We then packed all the bags in the car including the cake we made the day before, and stopped in a few times at different places and then decided to go through Arthur's Pass. Our first stop in arthur's pass was a place called 'Deaths Corner.' We saw loads of kea's and the weather felt like -5 degrees. We hurriedly piled back into the car and drove quickly away! Our second stop was in Hokitika and we stopped at Hokitika Gorge. We saw the amazing blue water and walked along the shakey bridge. We climbed the slippery mossy rocks and got our photos taken. The fantails were very friendly and photo bombed our photos! We walked all the way back again and had lunch. Our next stop was at Hokitika beach to look at the hokitika sign. We stopped in at a place where you can look for green stone and take it home. We got out of the car and rolled under the barbwire. Me and Steve went towards the river mouth and found 2 bits of proper green stone. We headed back to the car and Maia had this big rock that she thought was green stone she left it behind and then I dared her to go back and get it so we yet again rolled under the barbed wire but Maia decided the rock was too heavy to roll with so yeeted it over. Then we had no more stops so just went straight to Punakaiki. When we eventually made it we weren't sure if it was the right house because there were 2 cars in the driveway and loads of shoes on the door step so Steve called the owner of the house. It was so silent the the call ended and we got the bad news... Our accommodation was double booked. We tried mulipul solutions but nothing was for us. So we sadly drove back to Christchurch. Steve made a deal with us that we could have McDonald's and stay up for as long as we wanted and watch TV. So we did. At McDonald's I got a m and m mcflurry and large fries and everyone else got coke and burgers. We watched the next step and the healing power's of dude. The time we went to sleep at was 2:00am. 

Did you go on a holiday in the holidays?
