Kapa Haka National

Tuesday at 9 o clock we had a full bus travel to Hamilton for kapa haka nationals, the trip was long and loud music playing in the background with people talking. We were pretty excited to go for a swim at the pools until we got stuck in traffic and that took our swimming time away. But at least we got to do it on our way home after the mean performance. Te rau pou manawa o kawakawa  performed in front of hundreds of people and we were there to support. Hearing their voices gave me chills by watching them you could tell that they have practiced a lot. We stayed at Te Aratiatia te marae in Fairfield collage and the inside was full with unique designs that cover the marae. We also went to see te rau pou manawa at their marae were we saw Kingston waiting for us. The hangi we had for dinner was beautiful, especially the dessert.
