Shotover jet boat

In New Zealand we did the shot over jet boat ride which is a jet boat that goes through the famous shot over river canyon the driver drives us right next to the rocks which was really scary because it felt like you were going to crash into the rocks and at the last second our driver veers away. Our driver also does 360 spins which was really cool because it creates a surge of water that makes you lurch up and then crash o back on to the water. I really loved the ride because it felt like a roller coaster.

Math

Also in New Zealand I did lots of math with my mom and dad's friend Srini. My favorite thing I did was probability and cons. I also did calculus and trigonometry with him. I learnt about delta in calculus sin cos and tan in trigonometry how to work out cons and how to work out probability. A specific moment I remember is when we were walking to an ice-cream shop when me and Srini were talking about probability and it felt great because it was the first time I did it with Srini.

Hang gliding

In new Zealand a few weeks ago I went hang gliding. It was really fun. Me and my instructor took lots of pictures with a pole attached to the front of the glider facing backwards at me. I did it 2 times because my 3 year old brother was to young to go, the second time I took a few pictures with the camera facing the other way. The first time I was really scared to take off. My instructer told me to take 2 big steps and then run as fast as I could. It felt great to soar high high above the ground. I wish I could do it again.
