Cooks Cove walk

After a long drive we finally reached Cooks Cove, when we came to the entrance, Koka ngaire cover some ground rules for safety, and she also put us in groups with different parents. Then the climb started, at the start climbing wasn't that hard, we just had to walk up some stairs but soon after it started to get difficult. It became more steeper and more people were huffing and puffing very frequently, but just then we made it to the Beacon of Light, was was a large structure representing Cooks arrival. there was concrete that went 12 metres deep into the earth to hold it in place.


I sighed in relief but there was way more walking then i had hoped for, we kept on walking uphill until we reached downhill. i spilt some of my water on the dry ground, the thirsty ground quickly drank up the water. Downhill was much less tiring than going uphill, everyone quickly ran down the steep hills and we made it to the porta-potty and surprisingly only the boys had to go. From their I could see the end of cooks cove I patiently but excitedly waited until everyone was out. After everyone came out we made it to the end of cooks cove. But their was still the journey back.


we sat down and ate our food, after we ate our food we went back to the porta-potty where there was a picture frame.
