amazing race reflection  __14.4.11 __ W.a.l.t: reflect on our experience of the amazing race day one - Te Puna - Katikati - Waihi - Karangahake Gorge

My group for Amazing race was jake,beth and me.On the first day we went to Te Puna and we had to look for photos of the statues and the photos were in big snap lock bags we got all of the photos and i and jake got attacked by german paper wasps and got stung 8 times and i ran for my life!! any way we were on our way to the next clue. Katikati here we come.

At katikati we had to look for murals on the walls of shops and buildings. And it took along time it took my group half an hour and a bit to get the murals written down on the paper sheet. and then i felled sick we had missed 5 murals so i had to race back when beth and jake were on the bus when i got back i got yelled it by the other 3 teams on the bus to hurry up so its waihi now.

Ahhhhh waihi new zealand’s heart of gold. The first task we did was the long walk to the big caterpillar dump truck to get the clue and sheet to write down the answers and then we realized that the place to get the answers from was the information center!!! damn because we had been looking for the answers at the dump truck! so we ran like hell to the information center and after 30 minutes at the place we were on the bus ready to go for a long and painful walk at karangahake gorge.

Finally the race ends here {well for today only} the track to get to the railway tunnel was about 2k and tunnel was about 3k. instead of walking with my group i ran all the way under the tunnel seeing other teams on the way and passing them one by one i can see the end of the tunnel now i breathe the air from the river i look back in to the tunnel i look for my team oho!!! i have left my team at the start of the tunnel damn i run back half way though the tunnel and wham i find them as we run back i drop my torch damn but theres nothing stoping me now so i keep on going we come out of the tunnel yay year! woo hoo!! we came 27 that day.

day two-papamoa-te-puke-redwoods-te-puia-amaze me. well here we go again its day to and we have just set out on our next journey the first place well... its papamoa and we are doing this corse thing sorry i have forgot it but i do remember eating one whole kiwi fruit with the skin on yuck! after that we get the clue and quickly scrambled in to the car and headed on to kiwi 360.at kiwi 360 we came to the big kiwi fruit thing beth got out and quickly ran up the stairs and got the clue it said to the red woods oho!

when we arrived at the red woods we did a bit of onintering it took us 1 hole hour to do the map and some one had covered up number 4 under some grass and ferns. We we had got the next clue it said te-puia so here we come. when we arrived at the place we went in side a place were we got the awsers from a place with heaps of mouai people that told us the anwers so its the maze now?

yes the last leg of the race its the amazing-maze-a-maze it was hard and it was anoyying because its confesing and we got there 5 in the center sorry i can not talk more but it was easy no kidding we got though there in 7 miunets. bye

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Dear Daryl

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Thank you very much for driving our amazing race team to the tasks and clues. Thank you also for going fast! I very much enjoyed the bus ride with all the other teams I thought that it was great! The 2 things I hated the most were eating the kiwifruit and the maze that we had to do. The funnest thing to do was the Waihi gold mine challenge and watching the beach hop. I had a really great time.
