On Thursday me and my family went to a little town called Kaeo. We are going there because my mums Cousins son died in 2005, it is his unveiling for his grave stone.

Kaeo is about a 3 and a half hours north of Auckland we drove there in my dads van. We packed the van with all of our clothes food and with blankets, pillows. WE also brought my dads fishing rods because me and him wanted to go fishing. The drive was very very boring, we stopped in Whangerei for some fish and chips then we got back in the van for a one hour drive to reach Kaeo.
When we got there we unpacked all our gear. Then we saw a cat and her kittens, they were smaller then my hand. As soon as we got into the homestead, I jumped straight on the couch. I was so hungry. I made me a nice mayonnaise ham sandwich.
The next day we went to my mums Cousins sons unveiling of his grave stone. When we got there we had to wait for five minutes, until we were allowed to come on the burial grounds. When we walked up the hill to the grave we all gathered around it, some people were crying including my mum. The heat was burning me I so badly wanted to go to the beach but my dad said “NO”.
It was Sunday night we were getting ready to watch the All Blacks. Our family favourite when were watching the All Blacks, was watching the mighty Haka. The All Blacks had kickoff, the crowd started to countdown to the start. The All Blacks scored the first try off a set move in the line out, Tony Woodcock slid over the try line for a beautiful 5 pointer. The final score was 8-7 to the All Blacks.
Next year I hope to come back to Kaeo for another holiday.

Kia ora Waata. I enjoyed reading your post. It's good that you get to travel with your family to these types of special events. Being together at the unveiling is huge means of comfort for your whanau. It's great that the time ended with you all watching and celebrating the RWC win to the All Blacks. A very happy way to end it all. You are very lucky to have a special place outside of Auckland that you call home as well. Thanks for sharing Waata.

Hi Waata,
ReplyDeleteI really like your recount about your trip to Kaeo. By hearing your story, you must of been thinking about the RWC final!! If I was driving in the car, I won't be bored because I am use to staying in the car for about 9 hours, 3 hours and even 4 hours. We usually go to Wellington, Taupo, Whangarei and Rotorua. Keep up the good work.
God Bless.
