Isabella's & Sunset’s Adventures

This summer I went to the South Island with my family.  We did lots of great stuff with Sunset but one of my favourites was the whale watching.  We went on a big boat that drove us around.  First we saw a sperm whale.  The sperm whale looked like it was resting but it was getting some air to go under water again.  Later, we saw another whale and a giant pod of dolphins, they were jumping everywhere! 
We also went to Te Papa Museum.  There was a nature exhibition on and there was a massive whale skeleton, a real one!  There was also a DreamWorks Animation exhibit.  We could learn how to make animated movies on computers.  I dressed up in Viking horns and my brother dressed up as a penguin.  I had an excellent time at the museum.

We also took Sunset to Fox Glacier and Mt Cook, the highest mountain in New Zealand.  And no, we didn’t climb it!  I wish I could have done all of it again with Sunset.

  12. Dear Isabella,
    It sounds like you had a great time with Sunset. All those dolphins are very cool, your lucky because we don't have any dolphins where we live unless we fly to Hawaii! The whale and the whale skeleton was cool too! What was your favorite part?
