A Family's FIRST

            This marks the first ever holiday we had as a FAMILY. Its been years since we had this getaway. Its quite awkward and overwhelming since me and my brother don't really talk to mum  that much. I know we have a weird relationship but somehow we get along quite well. I heard a lot of amazing stories about Christchurch well before the earthquake struck. Others say its like a little city from Europe brought to New Zealand. Cant wait to see it for myself! When we got there, little earthquake welcomed us. It wasn't big but its scary because of the thought that something big might come any minute. But thankfully it only happened once. On our first day, we didn't really do much except going over to our family friend's house for dinner. Second day, we went for a 2hour drive to the little French Village called Akaroa. The way is so windy which made me a little bit sick but when we got there it was breath taking! Feels like your in France, but we didn't get to roam around since my mum wanted to go whale watching. In less than 10minutes we have to board the boat so I didn't get to rest. Boat ride made me feel so sick that I wasn't able to enjoy the site seeing. Thanks to Jack for taking photos though.

Does this look like an elephant or what?
