Rotorua Day One

Last Friday, me and my rugby team went to Rotorua for a rugby tournament. The first thing we did was go down to Marist Rugby Club at 11:00 AM. Then, when we got there, we had to pack all of our stuff in the back of one of the vans taking us to Rotorua. After everyone got there, we split everyone up in half, which meant that half of us went in the van, and half of us went in one of the managers, Hine's, car. After about 20 Minutes, we all left to go to Rotorua.

While we were going there, I was in Hine's car, along with my fellow teammates Leon, Maddison, Kenneth, Siakupega (or Pega for short), and Troy. Before we went on the Motorway, we stopped at a gas station, where Hine got gas, and Leon bought some food and drink's to share on our journey. Then it was time for our long ride. The ride itself lasted about 5 Hours, including all the breaks, where in that time, we talked, laughed, slept, and listened to music. It was awesome! After we finally got to our Holiday Park, I looked around, and saw how wonderful it was. There were lots of plants, dinosaur statues, a big room which was two stories high and was where we were sleeping, and the coolest thing there was the heated inside pool near the entrance. When we stopped, I wished it could go on for longer, but I still happily grabbed my bags, and went to the house.

When we got inside, we were told where we were sleeping, put our bags there, and sat in the living room, ready for dinner. For dinner we had pizza, which we ate happily. After we ate our food, which was about 7:00 PM, the coaches said that we all had to stand up, and say a little bit about our self's. Around in order, the players, coaches, and supporters all said a bit about them. Then the coaches told us to get ready for the pools, so we all went into our cabins, and got our togs on. After we got our togs on, we all went down to the pools.

The pool was small, but awesome. It had a slide, a spa, but the spa was useless unless you wanted to be away from other people, as the pool was so warm, there was also a area the coaches said that we could bomb and dive and push other people into the pool. First, everyone went on the slide, which was fun, then, we swam in the water for a bit. Then, after going on the slide a few more times, and playing Marco Polo, we all went to the bombing area. We all jumped in the pool at least once, and then we started pushing each other in. After being in the pool for another 15 Minutes, it was time to head, which we were all sad about.

After we got changed into our Pajamas, we all played spotlight in our room. After playing spotlight for 10 Minutes, it was time for bed. We all went into bed, and even though it took me about an hour to get to sleep because, I still had a wonderful first day...
