New Zealand Trip

今天早上我们结束了9天的旅行从新西兰回来了。 我们一开始飞到了奥克兰，然后又飞到皇后城。在皇后城，我们乘坐缆车到了风景迷人的山顶， 并在山顶上玩了滑板车, 安娜高兴得大喊大叫。 然后我们开车去乘坐一整天的游艇开到了雨林及充满湖光山色的野生地带，在百尺瀑布下，景色尉为壮观。离开皇后城后，我们驾车沿着西海岸开到了著名绿玉产地的小镇赫基第卡 , 一路蓝天，白云，雪山，草地，牛羊遍地，享受着大自然的魅力。然后我们又开车横跨南岛， 途经雪山山脉，远眺连绵山川群峰峻脉，零距离欣赏景色壮观的冰川，来到了基督城。基督城被称为花园城市，我们游览了水族馆，教堂广场中心公园。快乐的时间总是过得很快，我们怀着愉快的心情，又飞回到奥克兰，在这里，哥哥和姐姐玩了高空蹦极跳，他们从192米的高空自由跳了下去，真是惊险又刺激。 我们第二天又开车去了荧光虫水洞，荧光虫就像天上的星星， 闪烁生辉，非常奇妙。在这里我们体验了在完全没有光亮的夜晚摸索前进的感觉。新西兰真是个美丽的国家， 风光绮丽。今天一大早回到家，然后各自上学，上班。安娜累坏了，下午在学校睡到了4点半，还是在老师叫了多次才醒的。爸爸晚上五点多去接她时，看见她还躺在自己的小床上。

We returned from a nine day trip in New Zealand this morning. First, we arrived in Auckland. The next day, we flew to Queenstown where we took the sky gondola to the top of the mountains. There we all had fun taking the luge rides. Anna was screaming and yelling while she was riding the luge with daddy. The next day, we then took a nine hour cruise along Doubtful sound to see its beautiful wilderness. After leaving Queenstown, we drove through the scenic west cost to Hokitika. We then drove across the south island through Arthur’s pass all the way to Christchurch on the east coast. We then flew back to Auckland. David and Leah went on the sky jump. They leaped off the famous Auckland Sky Tower and free-fell 192 meters straight down. What an unforgettable experience! We also visited the glowing worm caves 2 hours south of Auckland. New Zealand is such a beautiful country and we all had a wonderful time there.
Everyone was exhausted when we got home early early in the morning. We sent Anna to her preschool and she took a very long nap until 4:30 after her teacher tried to wake her up a few times. When daddy picked her up at about 5:30, she was still lying on her cot.
