WE WENT IN THE SEA! I’ve never seen the sea
before – not this close anyway
|
|
I felt a bit sick actually… I thought beaches were all golden but the sand
here is almost black. That’s because it’s volcanic apparently and it has lots of iron in
it. Funny to think of iron beaches isn’t it! We are right by a big old volcano here –
it's called Mount Egmont or Taranaki. It's very beautiful - there's a picture of it on the
page called the journey. There are lots of black and white cows all round – the dairy
factory in Hawera is the biggest in the world. I’m a bit frightened of cows – they’re a bit
big and mooey. I like sheep better.

I like people too. Here's a picture of some of the school children we met in Pahiatua.

And - I’ve got a travelling companion! He
was given to me by the mayor of Hawera, ever such a nice lady called Mary Burke. He has
rather longer legs than me, and a lot of local knowledge. (He IS a bit
pale though - needs to get into the open air a bit more.) When we get to know each other a
bit better I might invite him to write on this page, but for now he has to learn to hold on
tight…

He was a bit worried here that
Borrie was trying to eat him! So he'd better remember who's Number ONE
bear on this trip. Or I'll tell Borrie he's filled with OATS. Or
maybe I'll just send him BACK to South Taranaki!

puzzles for you to do. And remember, if you want to ask me
