After a lunch at town with Karina (my mum) I was sun bathing with Lees on the beach!
It was so nice and warm and you can already see a tan ;) ! We both were realxing on our last day of the holidays and had fun!

Finally we went into the sea for a swim! First it was quite cold but the it was nice. Lees took her surf board and showed me some basic skills. there were no good waves to surf really, but it was pretty nice just to let you go with the little waves! When we came back i had soooo many freckles and they were so extreme!! :D

Haha but now you can also see the bad side off laying too long in the sun! I didn´t exspect the sun to be so strong already.
I am a little sun burnt in my face!

Today I had then my first dive training in the pool. That was exciting but also quite scary in the beginning. You have to get used to the breathing with the tank. We trained diffrent things underwater like changing the relator or mask. Finally i recognized how hard and tiring it was. But the weather was so bad today!! It was raining the whole day like mess.

I hope tomorrow will be cool and we will see quite a bit in the Lake Rotoroma.

The test on Thursday was pretty good. I exspected it to be much harder!
After it I went to a BBQ, where i met some more friend of my school year. ( year 12)
My most Kiwi-Friends are in year 11, because they are many also leeses friends and she is in year11. Of my age i would be in the same year, but they put all exchange students in year12. okay thats confusion I know :D

Anyway we were hanging out together outside and inside and playing some fun games as like hide and seeking, flash light or a funny card game, where we create funny sentences!
I enjoyed this evening after all this studying.

Best wishes from the sun Ann Carolin

Hey Darling,
I can imagine that diving is quite an experience... To get used to the heavy equipment and the breathing under water is quit an effort, I guess.
I am sure that it will be easier from time to time.
I hope you see a great underwater world diving in the volcanic lake.
A Spanish customer of mine, who visited us this week invited me for sailing and diving in Barcelona. I hope I can make it next year.
So, I will finish packing my suitcase now. I looking forward to a summer week in India, even I have to work most of the time.
Best wishes & big bear hugs
Papa - not running with broken arm :-(
