Kingston @ New Zealand

Hahahahaha.... Finally is Kingston @ New Zealand's post! Should be a year ago update >.<''' At first i was give up to update post about new zealand, but suddenly load back hardisk and realize i got so much photo yet to edit and upload to even Facebook. So i have decided to continue the unfinished story about New Zealand.  

From Te Anua to Queenstown/ Arrow Town, you will pass by a small village called Kingston. Kingston is a very small town around only few street. From Kingston to Queenstown around 40km away. The attraction of Kingston is the very old style train. Which is still using steam train. 


Too bad~ the train is not working as usual that day. But it park at a side for you to take picture around. 

Besides that, around the train station there is a restaurant/ cafe as well. But only operate at night. 

The very awesome autumn view from Kingston, besides Lake Wakatipu. 
In between, Autumn is New Zealand will be around March to June. 

My dearest Mum, the view behind is the very famous and huge with big wind blow Lake Wakatipu.

Our group! Before we park aside our car, we saw a small tornado on the surface. Maybe it cause by the strong wind. And is really strong. *nice view and fresh wind*

Te Anau

Te Anau is a very small town, not much local people. Sometimes, you might surprised by their 'peacefulness'. Mostly people here are tourist rather than Kiwi. Te Anau is a best place and the only place to stay if planing to Milford Sound. 

That is a very rare scene which you can find in Te Anau. You may find the emptyness in the street started from 3pm. You may find no one in the town. Like a death town, but definitely no zombie or vampire. XD 


One of their famous activity- Kayak.
My Favorited activity too ^.^ 

Fish & chips is their main course
Which you can find anywhere.
If i stay at longer here, i definitely will get fat.

They actually prepared garden for you to picnic as well :)
Lovely place with full of roses and flower.

The significant bird of Te Anau.


Te Anau definitely is a leisure place.
Best place to relax yourself. 
Of course, nice view to the lake 

Rare scene which can see. The sky turning in pink and due to the weather and rainy day.

And that is our back packer house. 
Very nice design and comfortable to stay.
Seriously, although it called backpacker house, but definitely very clean as hotel!!
Not messy and everyone take good care of the houses as well~~

Last but not least, Im not a drinker. But this drink is good to warm up body. And have a good sleep too~


Have a nice day :)

Dunedin

Dunedin is the second largest city in South Island of New Zealand. And it is one of the city that you cant resist and miss out. Why? For me, because of the Cadbury factory is over there!!!! OMG~ My Cabury factory!!!! *Extremely excited* Flowed in my head is only the scenarios of "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory" starring by Johnny Depp. *Day Dreaming* Have tons of sweet and chocolate waiting for me~ And everything inside the factory are make up with chocolate and sweet, of course it can be eat and take as much as you can!! How happy am i when my sister told me we are going to visit my dream place. *Tears* However, we only manage to stand in front of the door >.<''' why? Cause we miss the last tour to the factory~~ Ahhhh *Heart broke* Is ok, but still we bought some chocolate which cant get in Malaysia. Such as, banana favor, cherry favor, curly curly chocolate (chocolate filled with caramel and like a soft ruler), and more.

And bought 2 postcard and stamp from Cadbury house!
Each postcard NZD2.50, and the stamp selling in set and it is NZD12.50.

The next activity place that you must visit is their baldwin street. Is a consider the world's steepest residential street. Most of the tourist visited place.

As can see the gradient of the baldwin street. A Street under 350meter long. But it enough to kill your energy when walking up. Like climbing a mountain.

Is only half way of it. And can see the slope of the street, and part of the city. Is really beautiful.
Awesome!!!

The next place to be visit is the garden over there (Botanic Garden). Heard of the most beautiful roses, flowers and organic garden which tidy by the resident over there. They are the volunteers. I think they have no gardener? 

I love Autumn! 
The tree turning yellow ^.^

Still consider lucky, we still able to see some  very little beautiful flower in the garden.

Mummy requested to take picture. Why?
She wanted to find this species in Malaysia.

Peter Pan monument in the garden.
He went here before??

Besides seeing the beautiful flowers and roses in the garden, there have a pond with ducks. They allow the tourist or people to feed the ducks. As you may ask the duck food from their i site (Information Counter)  in the garden. Is free of charge! Just let the person on duty how many people in the group, and they will give you each person a pack of duck food. Nice?

While feeding the ducks. I called it reality ducks!
They are smart, when they notice you are holding something in hand, they will jump off from pond and walk towards or follow you. Is quite scary moment, when face so much ducks walking towards you in far. LOLX...

Happily mummy.

Racist is not only happen in human, but also animal! *Seriously*
This special species of duck, is the only one in the pond. It look like an eagle. 
When we feeding ducks, it get isolated and bully by others ducks. Its so pity, when seeing it have no friends, and bully by others. OMG! It not even dare to grab food from the floor. >.<'''

The "da gor" in the pond. 

It look like a bird, but swim like a duck. 

Sister and mum.

Pretty mum~

The train station inside Dunedin. Look like a court from outside.

The three of us ^.^

Playing modelling with sister at the train station. 
So embarrassing >.<''' hahahaha 

The building is not train station, but also a museum inside. Art gallery/ theater as well.

This is the real court. But it look like "Da Zhong Lou"
Few step to the left is a student gathering paradise. Most of the student or couple gather at that place. 

This is the "paradise". 
Lolx... They can smoke since young, even wearing school uniform. 
They are too many people starring at me. Im seriously not dare to take picture of them. I scare they smash on my camera. hahahahaha

I realize something oversea there. Which is they have varieties of gift card, which rally see in Malaysia. 
As above. They even have gift card for holiday, jeans, game and iTune card. Lolx....
Nice? The card can be found in everwhere, especially supermarket there. 

Thats all about Dunedin! Still got a lot activities can be done in Dunedin. You may visit the website here. Dunedin

Next post will be about Milford Sound. Cheers~ and have a nice day!

Lake Tekapo_2

续上一篇文章,这是早上的Lake Tekapo & Church of the Good Shepherd 的简介。当天气温应该有到1-2'c~
一早起床就可以看见满地冰。仿佛,昨晚下雪了~*可惜,那并不是*

利用DSLR的Marco mode, 就可以拍的一根根细细的冰条 ^.^

我,妈和姐姐 :)

Lake Tekapo 清晰的湖水。
纽西兰的大自然一点也没有被污染。他们的国人都很努力的保护大自然和爱护动物。
看来,这种精神真的很值得我们去学习学习~

这里是Church 后面的风景。
听说,很多pre-wedding 照片都会在这里拍

从里面拍出去的画面,又有另一番风味~ ^.^
它,虽然普通但它胜在古老。也简单美。
最衰后面的天并没有很蓝,不然应该会很美 XD



就算不是情侣,也不妨和家人一起拍照留念吧~
我以后,一定要再回到这里拍夜景,拍婚纱照!!
那个笨笨的你,悉做啦?!~


没多远处,有一间日本料理。还不错吃,可以尝试。
它叫Kohan, 名为湖畔。那是因为,它的座落位置就在湖边,可以一边欣赏湖,风景与雪山。
真是一代享受~~

这应该是老板和老板娘。他们是道道地地的日本人,正中的日本料理~

室内也摆放了很多木,布制品。

这是,Kohan bento。Bento=便当

这是,蜡笔小新最讨厌的纳豆。
而我最有胆量的姐姐就点了这个,纳豆三文鱼饭。
我接受不到咯~~~>.<'''

这是我的烧烤三文鱼饭!
好吃!!!!

这是妈妈的生三文鱼饭。
重点是,它不只是上面几片三文鱼,而是饭里面也埋藏了不少三文鱼叮哦 。
喜欢吃三文鱼的我们,有如何放过呢?~~

Lake Tekapo 完!

Lake Tekapo

在纽西兰的第二天,并没有在Christchurch多呆一会儿。随便逛逛,买了一些华人口味的材料为了准备接下来的晚餐。


在大城市不难找到华人餐厅或商店。可是,较小的地方是完全找不到。像Sunson Market就是位于Christchurch里的华人商店。*听他们的发音应该是中国人营业的* :) 里面卖了很多中国,台湾的食品与香料。可以回到住宿自备晚餐 ^.^ 一来可以省钱,也可以煮自己喜欢吃的食物。

逛了Sunson Market 后,去了Shopping Center 买了电饭褒和午餐就往 Lake Tekapo 跑了。从Christchurch 驾车到Lake Tekapo需要3,4个小时的车程。所以,为了赶在太阳落山前Check-in,我们随便买了午餐就跑人了。(原来秋天的纽西兰是夜长日短。也就是说太阳上山大概是早上7点钟可是太阳下山就在下午4点开始了。唉~那么美丽的风景却只有那么少的时间供我们欣赏>.<''')

秋天的树叶有着别一番风味,特别是枫叶树 ^.^

我们随便找了个地方享用了我们的午餐。这里是Dunsandel,一个小镇 :)
野餐我也是第一次,而且还要是在外国。
当地的气温真的冷得一个不行,即使是下车一会也要套外套。(别看上图的阿姨穿很少就以为不冷,其实不到3分钟她就冲上车拿外套了^.^)

看吧~都穿的厚厚的~~真的很冷~
就好像左二的那位穿的像北极熊的阿姨(其实,她是我妈啦~哈!),一点也不夸张。别看阳光普照,风吹来时真的不是开玩笑


这是我们的午餐!鲜虾沙拉与三文鱼寿司。
鲜虾真的超赞地^.^

这~~应该是越南式的沙拉薄饼与三文鱼寿司。
(因为外国人的胃口特大,所以寿司的饭也格外的多!*超饱的*)

不用多说~这也是三文鱼 :) Avocado salmon roll
对,我们就是爱死三文鱼了~~~ 

看了看,其实纽西兰的风景真的很不错!随随便便乱拍的照片也很好看。可能,是因为天气的关系吧。
火车路与没有云的蓝天。
那片蓝天,我还念念不忘呢~

纽西兰出名的是风景。到处可以见到雪山~
像没有看过雪山的我当然很兴奋啦~要求姐姐停车让我拍拍照,留念留念嘛~
这是穿的像“北极熊”的我和漂亮的妈妈

这是我们的导游,也是我姐。
在她身后的雪山是鼎鼎大名的Mount Cook。还有与它一起入镜的湖就是 Lake Tekapo。
传说,它湖的颜色是奶蓝色的哦(其实也不是传说因为那是事实!哈!^.^)

纽西兰真的很方便,背包客的住宿都有提供厨房与餐具。所以,我们都可以轻易的煮出一道好菜。这也让我们省下不少的旅费 :)

这是我妈她们随随便便煮的菜肴。
我的妈呀~要是认真起来还得了??



备注:Lake Tekapo是一个旅游圣地。除了出名的湖以外,还有就是晚上的夜景!找一个没有灯光的地方可以看见超多的星星。而永远留在我记忆中的是一条星河(真的像一条河般的星星高高在上)和那颗无意看见的流星。那是超级浪漫的夜景,即不用花费却可以浪漫浪漫~啊,记得要带tripod才能把星河给拍下。真的很遗憾,我没有做足准备,不然我就可以拍到那一幕浪漫的史迹!据说,那里还经常可以看到极光,可惜当天我没遇上。可是还是高兴的看过我人生以来最多星星的一刻~~

还有,当地因为接近雪山,那里的气温真的很冷。记得穿厚一点以便可以呆久一点,等待更多的流星~~

当晚的星星就好像上图般的多。而图中的地方是Lake Tekapo 出名的Church of the Good Shepherd。 在这个地方看星星格外浪漫也看的比较多(因为远离灯光)。


第二天,完!
Lake Tekapo待续~
