The voyage out to New Zealand (NZL)

In NZL I wrote a letter from being on a voyage heading over to New Zealand leaving my country and then writing to my mum and dad about the voyage.

New Zealand

Date-1834

Dear Mum and Dad,I have arrived safely in New Zealand.The boat ride aboard the Sir George Symour was rough and tiering.The living conditions were rough and there were a few problems aboard the boat.I was happy to find all the little kids doing some fun activities that were provided. When we were close to New Zealand I could see all the land and it was amazing.

Paragraph 1 Ideas and examples
The living conditions on this boat was crap the beds and the cabins were so disgusting and they were really disgusting and very uncomfortable.The boat was very very crowded with a lot of people on it coming from England going to this new place called New Zealand.The food and water had run out a few weeks before we got here and I am starving and thirsty.There were a lot of babies born on this voyage. There were also a lot of people that had passed away on this voyage from starvation and falling overboard.

Paragraph 2 Ideas and examples
There were a few problems on the voyage heading over to here. One of the main problems was diseases on the boat infecting a lot of the people on the boat which in some case caused death.It was scary to see people just dying in front of me sometimes in the room I was in.There were also some other problems with the winds breaking masts and sails and also also the rough seas going through the hatches.

Paragraph 3 Ideas and examples
There were some activities to do onboard the boat like making some cards.I made a card for my new friend that I made on the voyage over.Her name is Elisabeth. I made a lot more new friends on the voyage because that was one of the only thing that you could do on the boat for this long time.We visited some places on the way to New Zealand that had some nice things to look at.

Paragraph 4 Ideas and examples
When we arrived in New Zealand it was beautiful. When I got off the boat all I could really see was bush and water. The weather was not the greatest when we got there it was windy and raining. I got off the boat and headed to where I was told to go and I was excited to be here in New Zealand because I got to see a new country and to see the land that they have to offer here.

I hope that you can get over to New Zealand to come live here and to live a new happy life.

Lots of Love Elizabeth
