You went where? - Alexandra

For our writing we did we went where to talk about where we went on the Christmas holiday, I chose Alexandra because I spent 1 week there with family and spent Christmas there as well.
Alexandra

Alexandra is a nice quiet town in central Otago not many people live there, and it’s boiling, so it’s a nice place to go in the holidays because it’s also near Queenstown which has lots of fun things to do, in Alexandra, there are some things to do the most popular would be going to the lake at the dam or going for a bike ride on the many trails they have. And there are lots of people with horses there everywhere you go you’ll at least see some horses if it’s the right day and the right area. Alexandra also has lots of orchards to grow fruit in so most of the surrounding area is pretty much orchards and places like wineries.

Alexandra at day: In Alexandra, its always a hot dry day everyone’s lawns are full of dry grass no green on the site, the concrete feels like Lava if you don’t have shoes on, and all you can hear is sprinklers in peoples backyard trying to make the grass green. Alexandra is a small town located in central Otago in the south island which is near Dunedin. Alexandra is not the best place to do fun stuff but there are Queenstown and fun towns next door. Alexandra also has lots of orchards that grow fruit the most favourite fruit is cherries over in Alexandra the cherries only sell up to $10 a kg, and at the cost there $25 a kg and due to that there are lots of places with fruit ice cream and fruit snacks the best place there is a cafe/ice cream shop mix with a playground, minigolf, a big ball pit and other fun stuff to do. Also, near Alexandra is a dam which made a lake in that lake used to be parts of a town but when they got the notice they had to move, and I have lots of family in Alexandra as well so we went down there in Christmas to see our family. Also, there are lots of bike tracks to ride in Alexandra people normally rent electrical bikes to help them bike it. Also in the lake, there are lots of people with boats and people are jet skiing, water skiing, and all that. 

Alexandra at night: At night Alexandra is cold, unlike day. Sprinklers are no longer running in peoples backyard, the concrete is now cold and not lava hot, and everyone is in there houses unless there working the night shift. Normally before 8:00 I’d go to the park and go on the playground with my nieces, and we’d play on the roundabout and nearly puke. Not much people are around just some teens playing their music at max volume with there windows down driving past, and people going out for a jog. And really nothing else.
