Some of my friends will asked me "Are you excited about your holidays?" Well New Zealand is a country I would like to go again and again. Four years ago, I been there. From there on I knew this is the place... I called my 2nd Home. =)
Why I love New Zealand??? Because weather and the spectacular scenery.
I remembered very well the very first time I go to New Zelaand.When the plane landed at the Auckland International Airport, when I step out from the airport, I'm happy to seem my relatives and welcome by the rainbow… very beautiful rainbow…I will choose to go New Zealand during April because the weather is nice. Well my advises to friend whom are going to New Zealand bring along your sun block… the UV it quite strong in the morning and in the afternoon…
IA Ora" means Welcome to Christchurch & Canterbury!
Christchurch and Canterbury has an Ocean to Alps backdrop spectacular Pacific coastline,snow-capped mountain to the west and the hidden bays of an ancient volcanic peninsula to the South. While walking along the streets in Christchurch able to see the damage cause by the earthquake. People living Christchurch some has lost their jobs, their homes and love ones. Really sad to see such a nice town became like this.
After two days stays at Christchurch we took coach to Queentown. During our journey we stop by a few places. Nice scenery... Ooh... yes! Our coach captain told us the history about New Zealand and how many National Park in New Zealand. Wonderful coach Captain, Ha...Ha.... and he sing the folk songs too. You will know why I love New Zealand so much???
How could I forgets to mention Mt Cook. Every time when I watch the documentary on T.V. Wow!!! How beautiful Mt Fuji in Japan and Mt Cook in New Zealand is.... Finally I got the chance to see it, awesome! While our coach getting closer and closer to the Mt Cook, I got excited. Ha...Ha... The moment I step out of the coach, I took a deep breath... Ahhhh... so good to be true! I'm at Mt Cook!!!! Let me shared with you what my coach captain had told us...
Mt Cook at 3754 metres, New Zealand's highest mountain, beside that yet there are 27 other mountains in this alpine backbone which peak at over 3050 metres, and hundreds of others not far short of that. Mount Cook National Park, provides a range of accommodation from an international style hotel to motels, backpackers and camping. Yeah! My family and I did seem a lot of backpackers. We had our lunch at the cafe... Nice hot coffee and shepherd's pie... We did go to the Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre’s dedicated Hillary Gallery. Designed to educate and entertain, the centre features a spectacular state-of-the-art 3D movie, New Zealand’s first full dome digital Planetarium and Museum which documents the pioneering heart of the region and features the impressive Hillary Gallery.
It really long journey from Christchurch to Queentown. By the time we reached Queentown already about 7 - 8pm NZ time. Our coach drop us at our hotel in Queentown (Tanoa Aspen Hotel) it right at the top of the hill... Thank God! Our coach able to get us there. Before our coach captain left, he says Guys I hope you all have a wonderful time in Queentown.
Queenstown is one of New Zealand’s top visitor destinations and if you come to the region you’ll understand why. From skydiving, bungy jumping, white water rafting and jet boating to breathtaking helicopter flights, wine tasting, Milford Sound. NZ has been blessed with some of the most amazing natural scenery in the world, and Queenstown has been especially lucky, nothing else quite compares to the spectacular Milford Sound. The next day, My family and I when to the cafe at the hotel to have breakfast, before we head out to wait for our coach to bring us sightseeing.
