Oscar @ Lake Rotoiti
We had a great
time at Lake Rotoiti. We spent 3 days there and it was awesome!! We soon
discovered a cliff with a huge hole in it, covered with creepers. Through that, was a secret beach with a jetty
(that's where we got some pictures). The water was sort of cold but manageable
(Mum wanted me to put my head under for a picture but it was a bit too cold for
THAT). On the last day, Lockie, Dad, Bruno and I, went kayaking. We paddled
round the shore to get to another beach (on an island) were you could dig a
hole and find hot/warm water. We had forgotten to bring a spade so we used our
oars. When we paddled back to our batch the water was very shallow and we had
to get out and push the kayaks along.
On the way home we
stopped at the Red Wood forest park for orienteering. It was very hard because the controls were tiny
and hidden VERY well. I could only find
the first checkpoint, and after a vain attempt to find the 2nd
checkpoint point I decided to walk back and admit defeat.
Dad said the second
one was on the side of a Bridge at ground level!! We weren’t timed either so I
couldn’t see how long I “got lost” for. (At least I have a 2-point advantage for next
time.)
