This was a very cool and exciting weekend.
On friday evening I played pool with some mates which was pretty good and
yesterday was the Whangamata Senior Ball.
It was such a good night.
The ball started at 7:30pm and ended at 10:30pm.
But before we went to the ball we had some dinner at the house of my homesister's friend and took a lot of photos.
After that we went to the afterball which was at the house of my mate and we stayed there until 3:00am in the morning.
It was a perfect spot for a party. There was a camp fire, a dancingroom and
everybody brought his own drinks so we had a lot of fun.
The last two days were perfect for my surfing.
The waves were pretty small, but they were very very clean and good to surf.
Yesterday I went surfing on my own and suddenly I saw something black only a few meters away diving under the water. First I was a little bit afraid and I was like "Henrik don't move now,
it might be a shark", but then I realised that it was only a seal which played in the water.
Today I went surfing in Outdoor Education and it was so much fun.
We tried to surf partywaves which means that many people surf the same wave and it worked a couple of times.
In the afternoon I went surfing with Matt and I got barreld for two seconds which was pretty cool.
This weekend I am going to Napier and there I will buy a suit for a ball, which is in one week, some hunting gear and maybe I can drive a Quad there, too.
In addition to this I am going to start training for a halfmarathon.
Best place to go for a run
Before I start to talk about what happened the last days I just want to apologise that I wrote nothing for a long time....
I was very busy the last days....
First of all I joined a gym and I founded a band with two other guys for a talent show which is in next month. I play the drums.
On monday I was kayaking during Outdoor Education for the first time and I got badly smashed by a wave.
Today I made a daytramp trough the bush which was also with the OE group.
It was an amazing trip and a beautiful day.
Last weekend I went surfing for four hours and I think it is getting better and better.
After that I went to a farm looking after the horses which belong to my hostfamily.
The farm is in a beautiful valley and on the top of a hill Matt ,my hostbro, saw some goats.
He stalked them for a long time and at the next day my hostdad Brendon talked to the farmer and the farmer said that one goat has got a broken leg and so we gonna shoot this goat this weekend.
The middle one has got a broken leg
I had a lot of fun and experinces at this weekend.
On Saturday I went with Constantin a other German exchange student to Onemana to make some cool photos of Whangamata.
It was a very long mountainbike trip and we decided to cross the habour which was quite shorter and it was low tide.
It was a very bad desicion we had made. The water was to deep.
But we were lucky cause a man saw us and came with his boat to help us.
On Sunday I went to Doughnut Island with my homestaybro Matthew by a kayak.
It is the most beautiful place I have ever been.
I cannot describe it.
Everything is quiet. Your are alone. The entrance is like a laguna.
You are surrounded by trees and rocks. Just beautiful.
The only thing which is annoying is that a case, which is normaly waterproof, failed and my phone is broken now.
I hope I can it fix as fast as I can.
Its my second week here in Whangamata and I feel more and more like at home.
On Monday und Thursday I playing soccer and I am so happy about it.
I try to go surfing every day and I have just a good feeling.
Whangamata Area School
This was a very good first week at school.
I met a lot of nice new guys and had a lot of fun.
This week I wanted to go mountainbiking,but I missed the group two times :o
Nevertheless I really enjoyed my first week and maybe tomorrow I will go surfing, when the waves are good enough.
