Day 10

After the hot pools, I went to bed and slept great until the girls woke me up in the morning! Then I made Oatmeal and had Milo Hot Chocolate. It was a great morning, but we had to hike back for 3 hours to the car park. After that the 10 of us went to the springs on that side of the hike. It was so hot, but you can't but your head under the water or you'd get meningitis, which I didn't want to get. But it was all good! Then a 2 hour car ride back, where we stopped and saw one of New Zealand's Lowland Forests which was absolutely gorgeous! Then, us boys, went to a really good ice cream parlor that has been in New Zealand for almost 100 years! It was great, but then I had Orienteering practice after that! It sucked and I practically got last, but that's because my foot got caught on a vine and I biffed it down the hill! And I didn't get up, so I just laid there for like 10 minutes. But it was great, and I really didn't care! I miss my family a lot though!!!
