Moat

A moat is a deep, broad ditch, either dry or filled with water, that is dug and surrounds a castle, fortification, building or town, historically to provide it with a preliminary line of defence. In some places, moats evolved into more extensive water defences, including natural or artificial lakes, dams and sluices. In older fortifications, such as hillforts, they are usually referred to simply as ditches, although the function is similar. In later periods, moats or water defences may be largely ornamental. They could also act as a sewer.

how to train your dragon description

In a world with dragons, this movie takes place on the island of Berk. Hiccup, son of Stoick, wants to be a dragon killer like his dad, but his dad refuses. One night on an invasion of the dragons, Hiccup catches a Night Fury, the rarest and an unseen dragon of them all to prove to his father he is worthy. But while his father is a way to find the nest of the dragons, he allows Hiccup to start training to kill dragons, and at the same time, Hiccup trains with his newly found dragon Toothless since when he was caught, lost a part of his tail. But while Hiccup tries to persuade the other Vikings that the dragons are good, not bad, they have a hard time believing so.

My trip to Tauranga

My trip to Tauranga

Last Friday my dad and I went to Tauranga. We drove to Tauranga from Auckland, it was a three-hour drive.

It is now the end of my holiday and I will continue my story on the first night.  It was very late so my dad and I went to Cob and Co for dinner, it was the best dinner ever. I had a cheeseburger and a traffic light drink and for dessert, I had the caterpillar. It had cherries for eyes which I thought was cool. After I played on the PS4 and had a few turns, then we went to the Aquarius motel and went to bed.

The next day (which was Saturday) we climbed up to the top of Mount Maunganui. It took half an hour to get up so it took an hour in total. After we went to a historical village, it was very small ( small as Coromandel ) and we stayed for little time. After we went to the hot pools, we probably spent most of the time in the hot pools. Later that day and we got pizza for dinner, I saved 2 pieces for the morning then went to bed.

On Sunday we went for breakfast then went back to the historical village again because of the fair then we went back to Auckland.

And that my friend is my historical trip to Tauranga.
