Tane’s Diary 10 of June. Day 1. It was one very very humid and beautiful day and my best ten friends and I left Hawaii. We were going to New Zealand. We all packed up what we needed and chucked it in the waka. We needed some spares, spare clothes, lot’s of water, and lot’s of food. We said bye to all of our loving families and they wished us the best. There was a huge storm on the way to Samoa there were only seven friends left after we got out of the storm. It took us five days to get to Samoa. Day 5. We finally got to Samoa and dragged the waka to the island. We stayed there for one day. We ate some food and we drank some water too. We also prayed for the ones that didn't survive in the huge storm. When it was morning we dragged the waka back to the water and set sail again. Day 7. It was very cold when we left Samoa and then it got colder and colder every minute we got closer to the next Island and then it started to rain heavily and we got even more cold because we had no shelter. Finally we arrived to a beautiful island called Cook Island at first the chief and the people who lived there wanted to fight with us because they thought we wanted to kill them and use their skin to make a roof for our shelter. We tried to talk to them but they didn’t understand our language and started to fight but luckily one of my best friends knew how to talk cook Island. He talked his way out of the fight and they let us stay for a few days. We ran out of food and water we were starving to death. We were so lucky because it was Cook Island they had lot’s of fruit’s like coconuts and mangoes and lot’s of clear water we can drink. When it was about night time we had a big feast with or sorts of food. After that some friends was fast asleep because they were full. A few friends came with me to go fishing we caught a lot of fish. In the morning we woke up and said bye to the people who looked after us and said bye to the people who was giving us a lovely feast. Day 12. It was very hot on the way to New Zealand and there was another storm but it wasn't that bad and everyone survived. Finally we arrived in the bay of Islands it’s also known as New Zealand. It was very beautiful there and there were lot’s of trees and birds. We could use the tree branches to make some warm shelter said one of my friends. After building our shelter we settled down. We were really happy that we made it to the bay of Islands we couldn't believe that we made it so far we were proud of ourselves. The next day we went fishing and caught lot’s of fish. Then we had a long hike over the icy mountains. After taking a hike over the icy mountains we hiked up another mountain but this time we stayed there for a little longer to enjoy the beautiful view.
