Day 4 - swimming with the sharks

By the end of Day #3, you have seen a lot of the north island of New Zealand.  Hopefully you have enjoyed it and you’re excited for the next phase of your journey – the ferry trip across the Cook Strait from the bottom of the north island to the top of the south island. You will spend the next two days exploring the south island before you head back up to Auckland, via Wellington (the capital city of New Zealand).

Activity 1 -
There were a lot of people in this together. Trying their very best to keep these whales alive. Unfortunately all they can ever do is to keep these whales wet. At the time tide was also racing out. Volunteers work until nightfall and hope these whales return to sea in high tide. They all tried to keep the whales blowhole clear and making sure everyone stays away from the whale tail. At  first they thought it was just a black swan. Until they took a look at what it really was.

I rate this trailer a 4 out of 5. This trailer was about a young girl named paikea uperanar. Paikea grandfather, had said in the first trailer, When paikea ( the young girl ) came along that's when everything went wrong between the chief ( Maybe ).
Paikea grandfather then gather all the firstborn boys, and said that's the only way they're going to find the answer. All the firstborn boys will learn all different sorts of qualities to become a chief.
Paike wanted to do it, but she couldn't because she was a girl, and girls could not do it except for boys.  So paikea did it herself, well with some amazing family members more like it.
Bonus activity -
I truly agree. Fisherman or any fishing people should be banned from the farewell spit. Because out there's a whole lot of sea creature that i'm surely, everybody care about.

  2. It is very sad when whales are stranded but such a heart warming scene when you see members of the public trying their best to help. Its such a Kiwi way of living to care about the animals and nature around us. Your journey is looking very interesting. Packet with a lot of activities and fun. Keep up the good work Whitney.

  3. Hello Whitney
    Good job on day four. Hopefully the locals managed to save some of the whales. Also, I agree with you, fishing at Farewell Spit should be banned otherwise all of the Hector's dolphins will get killed. Keep up the fabulous work.
    Daniel
