I never knew that fishing was so hard! In Singapore, we never go fishing. However, it was a really fun experience because we set off after a breakfast of bread and ham and fished until evening!
A teacher named Uncle Ernest taught us how to cast and retrieve a line. We decided to share a rod. He then taught Uncle Patrick and Aunty Sarah how to do it. After 1 or 2 minutes, both Jinxgirl's parents complained that their arms ached and stopped for a tea break. Jinxgirl refused to eat because the fish might bite while she was eating and she might be too late to stop it from escaping. I agreed with her.
We then headed down to a river in the forest where Jinxgirl and I borrowed waders from Uncle Ernest. Mine was a special type. Although Jinxgirl and I did not catch any fish,Aunty Sarah was so amazed Jinxgirl could stand still for more than 2 hours that she gave Jinxgirl 20 Singapore dollars.
It was quite late so we had dinner at a nearby Thai restaurant. Jinxgirl tried Tom Yum Soup( My favourite) and for the first time, she loved it. Another sign of maturing because she eats much hotter food these days and loves it. We then drove to the Lake Taupo campsite. And yes, once again Jinxgirl swallowed a pill.
