Hey Guys,
On Wednesday all Internationals went to the Marae. We saw an interesting light show. We were shown a story about Wairaka, a woman who saved some man in the kanu with leading the boat, and about the Whale Island.
We could have a look around and take some photos. Finally we had Maori bread and tea together.
Here is a picturre of the hall. It is really high(about 7m) and big.


Today I was in Te Puke at the Kiwiland.
we sat in little kiwis as a train and drove through the whole area to the kiwi plantation along many other fruit trees.We learned a few things, e. g. Kiwi is the worldst healthiest fruit.
And at the Plantation we learne about the work , which has to be done with the fruits and the trees through the year. You need one male for 4 female trees. Only the female produce fruits. Here is a picturre of one plant. Of course without fruits because they get picked between april and may.

In front of the main house is a big kiwi fruit which you can see from the road. we went the stairs up to the top and took one group picturre with friends (Ebba, me, Nora, Eve and Maria). It is on the one side green and one the other side more a yellow colour, because there are two types of the kiwi fruits. There are the golden and the green one. On the way to the Plantation we also saw a big figure of a kiwi bird.
On the right bottom it´s me and Kine (from Norway) in the kiwi car.


So tomorrow i go to Auckland for the weekend.
I will tell you about it later..

Best wishes
Ann Carolin
