My trip to Manukau on the bus

On Thursday week 2, I caught the bus by myself to Manukau. First my Uncle dropped me off at the bus stop in Howick. Then I waved to the bus driver and the bus stopped. Next I tagged on with my AT Hop card and I waved bye to my Uncle. Then the bus went off. The bus stopped at many different bus stops and at one bus stop I saw Bradley waiting for another bus from my window. I waved to him and he waved back to me. When the bus stopped at my location, which is the MIT building, I tagged off the bus and went across the road to the mall. Meanwhile when I was inside the mall I went into some shops like Countdown and the 2 Degrees shop. After the mall I went across the road again to Rainbows End. I met my mum and I went home with her. It was really exciting to go on a bus by myself.

Yesterday we to the America's Cup parade in the Auckland CBD. First we went into the school van to get up to the Orakei Train Station. Then we went onto a train to get to Britomart Train Station which is in the city. When we got there we went down to the waterfront and we waited there for about an hour for it to start and for it to came down to where we were. There was a big band in the parade. It had girls doing back flips, drummers, big NZ flag made out of balloons and all cause the whole Team NZ team. I was like waving hi to them and also waving my flag out. Some from One News walked passed us with a camera. When Peter came with the cup it started pouring down with rain so we ran to the Ferry Terminal to get shade. I was soaking wet like a bucket of water had been dumped onto me. After the rain had stopped we went to the viaduct and we saw Team NZ dancing with David Dallas from the other side of the water. Next we went back to Britomart to get back onto the train to get back to the van. I had a really awesome time seeing Team NZ at the parade. A big thank you to Nicola for taking us along.
