My cousin's holiday in NZ

My cousin Julia came to visit us a month ago. It was her first trip travelling by herself overseas. She is so brave. Julia is a foodie like me and we are both chubby and sweet. During her trip here, my super grandma took my sister, Julia and me skiing at Mt Ruapehu. We took the Naked bus there. Our bus broke down during the journey, some tree branches broke the windows and so we got stuck in a farm for 2 hours. The bus company sent a new bus, guess what happened? It broke down again. So another bus was sent to rescue us. Finally after 8 hours stuck on 3 busses we arrive at Whakapapa. Thankfully there was wifi in the bus. Otherwise I think I would have gone crazy. Mum googled and found us a nice place to eat. It was called Tussock Bar and Restaurant. We ate a yummy dinner of burgers and pizza. Nom, nom. We were so tired and now with our full tummies we went to sleep to prepare for our skiing day the next day. The next evening after a whole day skiing, grandma tested us to a buffet dinner at the Chateau restaurant. Wow, the food was super super yummy. It's a good thing we exercised the whole day because we just ate and ate and ate. Definitely a must to do if you ever visit Whakapapa and stay at the Chateau. The following day we headed down to Taupo and stayed the night there. I wanted to try the hole in one golf thing at the lake but grandma said no. We visited the gardens and spent time walking around the town. The next day we went back home to Auckland. I miss home and I miss my mum, dad and brother but most of all I miss my dog Patrick. Home sweet home! When we got home I had to teach her how to make my specialty cotten Japanese Cheescake, it was fun but really messy.
