Hey people, I am back! And since I am free today, I will just kinda share my experiences during my trip to New Zealand. That country rocks and it's flawless. Haha. My family almost covered the whole of New Zealand including the North and South islands. Even though there was no snow in the north island, the scenery really tranquillises me. Haha. It was winter time by the way. We had to wear thick clothings just to go out shopping etc. We even had to wear thick clothes at home and even when going to bed. The people down there were very kind and helpful. I will show anyone who reads this some pictures at the end of this post. Haha. I went there with my family of four plus my grandparents. We were there for 3 weeks from 25 May to 17 June. On the first day, my family spent time with my aunts and grand aunts who stayed in New Zealand. They brought us to eat at a restaurant called "Sanook". It's a kind of Thai-Indian restaurant. We ate as much as we could as we knew we were going to lots and lots of places after that. After eating, we went to a volcano called Mt. Eden. It's no more active therefore we could walk as close as we want to the crater. As New Zealand lies between two actively-moving tectonic plates, the country itself has more than a hundred volcanoes. At the peak of Mt. Eden, it was extremely windy. We seriously had to hold on to each other when taking group pictures. After we had snapped a few group pictures, me and my cousin, Nadia, and her brother, Hamzah, went for a walk to get a closer look at the crater. After enjoying the blistering wind at Mt. Eden, we went to my aunt's, Nadia's and Hamzah's mother, place. She has a very beautiful house. It was a two story house with a built-in garage. She drives two cars and when not in use, she parks them into her garage. I realised how clean New Zealand was. It was many many times cleaner than Singapore. But during winter, night falls as early as 5.30 pm, New Zealand time, which means in Singapore, it is only 1.30 in the afternoon. Haha. Strange rite. After having a light dinner at her house, me and my sis played the PS2 in Nadia's and Hamzah' own living room. We had alot of fun playing the PS2 together. After that, we then went to my grand aunt's place which is located in Papatoetoe, Auckland. Her house is like anybody's dream house. You can find anything to entertain yourself in her house. Her hse has a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a huge, i mean very huge garden. She loves flowers so she planted lots and lots of them in her garden. We slept there for a few days before leaving Auckland. But in the few days when we stayed at her house, it was the best days of my life. Spending family time chatting and chatting away. She even cooked prata for our breakfast. She also has a garage which she stores her nice cute little car in it. The next day, we went off to get meat at this place called Oriental Meat and it's Halal. We also went to buy fishes at this fishing port. We then headed for the beach. It was very different from the beach in Singapore. There was no one taking care and sweeping the floor but it was much much cleaner than the beaches in Singapore. It's like the people in New Zealand really appreciate whatever they have in their country. After that, we went to the shops near the beach and bought a few souvenirs. We then went to another mountain which used to be a fort called Fort Victoria. We then went of to eat at this Indian restaurant called Punjabi Dhaba. We then headed straight to my grand aunts house. After having fun together at her house, we had to leave for Houhora. It was a very long distance ride from Auckland to Houhora and along the way, we stopped at a museum and a few scenic lookout points. We went to this museum called the Kaori museum. Kaori is a kind of tree whereby the tree can grow extremely large. After we left the museum, we headed for Waipoua forest. And in the forest, there lies the lord of the forest, Tane Mahuta. It is actually a still living kaori tree and the width of the stump of the tree is 16 metres. We gaped in awe. Along the way, we had to cross this river so we took a ferry ride whereby the ferry would carry your car with you. As soon as we reached Houhora, we headed for the house which we have already booked from Singapore. It was damn big. Eventhough I don't really find the location that good, inside, the house was clean and tidy. A day later, we then went to this small fishing port. The sea water was crystal clear. We snapped a few pictures and went on with our trip to a place called sand dunes. We stopped by at this small little mosque. Again, we snapped a few pictures and continued our way to the sand dunes. We reached the sand dunes about an hour later. Interestingly, the sand dunes is their seaside. And it is damn huge and high. Along the way to the beach, a whole lot of beautiful sceneries passed by our car. About half an hour later, we reached the beach and had our breakfast in the car. My grandfather than drove us to the most legendary place of New Zealand, the Cape Rienga. We were excited as soon as we saw the sign board showing, Haere Mai ki te rerengga wairoua, in english, it means welcome to cape reinga. It is actually the extreme edge of New Zealand, where the Tasman Sea and the Pacific oceans meet. We also went to the light-house of cape reinga. Haha. It was a moment of fear as we were all standing on the edge of a cliff. The cape reinga is a spiritual place. That is what the maori's believe. We then went to another kaori meuseum. we saw this sofa set which is made of one piece of wood which cost $36 000. It was crazy man. We then drove along the beach. The houses by the beach was beautiful. We then headed to another of our house which we also booked from Singapore. It is located in Paihia. The house is called the Blue Marlin. Its the best house ever. Its well taken care of and has a nice view out of the window. We stayed there for 3 nights. We then took a ferry to a place called Hole In The Rock. Its a huge HOLE on this tall island caused by the strong waves. We then stopped by at another place called Russell. Its just a small town. It kinda make me feel like I was in the era of the cowboys. There were tiny little souvenirs shops and even houses. Haha. We then took a super speed bout back from Russell to Paihia. Fortunately, not one of my family members has seasick! Ouh ya!!! We even managed to see dolphins while on the boat ride. They were swimming right beside the boat. I still have a lot more stories to share with you all but I guess I gotta leave now. I will write the continuation on another post. here comes the pictures...Oops! sorry as there is insufficient space, I did'nt managve to put all the pictures here so I have to put them in different posts.
