While we were in Hastings my Grandad took us all on a "wilderness adventure". A friend of Grandads owns some land out in the country in Hastings and he runs horse treks and jet boat rides. He also owns some cabins by the river that we stayed in for one night. Rachel and I went on a 3 hour horse trek through the hills, it was a lot of fun. That night we went out shooting rabbits and then went eeling. The next morning we all went on a long jet boat ride. It was a great time and we all had tons of fun, thanks Grandad!

Me carrying Matthew across a little part of the river so he didn't get wet.
We borrowed my uncle's 4 wheel drive for the trip as we needed one for the roads. Mum had great fun with it.
When it got dark we went out and shot some rabbits and then used them to lure in the eels.

On the way to the hut. This is a typical New Zealand road. Notice we are driving on the other side of the road.

This is the view that we had from the hut.
