My Holidays

On a breezy early morning, I went down to Dunieden with my aunty & cousins for my great-grandads funeral. The next day after we left my mum & brother Josh flew down to Christchurch on a plane than caught another plane from Christchurch down to Dunieden. Josh went with mum on a plane with her because he didn't have any experiment on a plane & I did.

On the way to Dunieden we stopped in Christchurch to stay for the night at my other aunntys place. The next day at sunrise we drove down to Omaru to stop at my uncle Jimmy's place for about 2hrs than we hit the road & started our long journey ahead of us to Dunieden. When we were in Dunieden I was so glad that the rocky, bumpy  ride was over. My aunty dropped me off to my great-nanas to stay. 4hrs after I came to nanas, my mum & josh came from the airport.  When the funeral was starting me & mum were already bursting in tears & other family members. After the funeral we stayed in Dunieden for another more than we had planned to stay.

On the way back I went with mum & Josh. We bussed from Dunieden to Christchurch. On the way to Christchurch we stopped in Omaru for a halve hour break, than we carried on travelling down to Christchurch. We stayed the night at my aunty's place. At 5:00am in the morning we went to the bus stop & caught a bus to Kaikoura. When we were in Kaikoura we had lunch & then we got back on the bus & drove down to Blenheim. In Blehneim we waited for 15minutes than we got a bus to Nelson. From Nelson we got a bus to to Stoke. It was a really wavy ride from all the buses rocking side to side.

My family believe that my great-grandad would go to heaven because he believed in god. I do too.
"May you rest in peace great-garandad."
