Dear Jones,
Our trip to New Zealand was wonderful.
First, we flew Wellington, the capital. We stayed at the Sheraton for two nights. We went sightseeing and
just relaxed at the swimming-pool because of the hot weather. From Wellington, we flew to Roturua and
rented a car. We went sailing on Lake Tarawera and we climbed a volcano, Mount Tarawera. Then in the late
afternoon, we took a bus to a tribal village, Maori and stayed for a dinner. It was really a special evening.
We plan to come back to New Zealand soon, but for now, we’re on our way to Australia.
