Sky Tower Trip

 As we were getting off the bus we stood there in amusement. We went inside and met our guide, Maria and her assistant, Cooper. They were really nice. They then guided us down the escalator and into a little movie room.

After some time of waiting, Maria then played a little movie featuring the Sky Tower and explaining how/when it was built. We all sat there in awe while watching the movie being played. It was really fascinating knowing how the Sky Tower was built. The videos were about How the Sky Tower was built, volcanoes around the Sky Tower and a lot of interesting facts. Did you know that Rangitoto is the youngest volcano of them all? Amazing right?

Later on we headed to level 51. Wow! The view was amazing and we stood there in awe. We stood over the glass and stood there in fear, because we were all scared of heights. I got over the fear of heights and started getting comfortable with the whole “standing over the glass” thingy.

After sometime of watching and walking we sat down for a little lunch break and then headed off to level 60. Level 60 has the best view of them all. I’m still shocked that I’ve been that high up. Everyone leaned on the glass and I was scared as an Elephant. Level 60 has to be the best level of them all.

Sometime after visiting level 60 we headed down to level 45, the Refuge. The Refuge literally has no view but metal everywhere. The Refuge is like a safe room but with lots and lots of space. We then roamed around the Refuge and saw the Dynosphere. The Dynosphere is the little circle thingy on the top, top of the Sky Tower.

After that we then headed to the underground and elevated ourselves to level 51 again. Again the view always finds a way to surprise me. From there we then headed down to the lobby.

We then went outside and back on the bus on our way to school. I really liked going to the Sky Tower. I wish we went back there again:)
