Twizel

WALT write a recount about what happened in the holidays. In the holidays we went to a small town called Twizel. There wasn't much to do so we went to the surrounding places. Here is my recount of what happened. Have you been to Twizel?

After ballet on the first Saturday of the holidays we went on a four hour drive to get to Twizel and to be honest I don't know how I survived with dads farts. We really needed to buy gas masks because I nearly passed out. I got super carsick but luckily Mum brought seasickness tablets and then I fell asleep.


When we finally got there we didn’t do much but the next day we went to Mt John Observatory. It was snowing so hard I could barely see. I put crystalized snow down the back of Mum’s shirt but she got me back by shoving dirty snow in my mouth. Then we went to Mt Cook. It was still snowing hard so we couldn’t do the walk but there was a cool museum with stuffed animals.


On the third day we went to Clay Cliffs which is a bunch of rocks formed over the years by salt, grit and fresh water then uplifted. I found a ton of Rose Quartz. At one point I nearly fell about 50 feet. We drove back and I collapsed on the leather chair. I felt traumatised (side note, I'm fine) Then that night we went to an Thai takeaway and I had the best Pad Thai. 


So I had a four hour drive, ate dirty snow and nearly died. What a lovely holiday.
