Reached Malaysia Yesterday.. so good to be back home. New Zealand is a beautiful country.. nice summer weather yet I am still glad I am back to Malaysia..
This time travel was a real on the road travel. Well most of the time. We traveled about 200km every day. Reaching motel almost mid night every day O.+
We are traveling around the south of New Zealand Island.

The red line showing our journey starting from Christchurch to Akaroa and ended the journey to Hakitika and back to Christchurch. It’s a tiring journey yet worth it!! Seriously make me thinking to come back to do another on the road travel on the upper side of the island and this time renting a Caravan.. haha.. finger cross..
So I am starting my New Zealand travel journal here on our 1st day.. I selected the best pictures only to put in my blog.. others I will upload in my facebook.. so please join my facebook if you interested to received my blog updates and photos.
It took about 11hrs flight from Lcct to Christchurch International Airport (We took Airasia X this time).

We reached New Zealand around 10am (NZ time).. and we rent a car from ‘Go Rental’ company. We book the car in the airport and they will bring us to their car area to get the car.
That tree is the 1st picture I took when arriving at New Zealand.. haha.. I think it’s beautiful..
. The weather was very chill.. Most of the time below 20°c.. and it’s summer. Even tho the sun was shinning the breeze actually chilling.. and I like that.. hihi.

We started our journey after got the car. The housing area remind me of Canada and Perth along the way
.

Kind of hungry.. and my 1st meal was the Fish and Chips.. the most famous food here I guess..
You can get it almost anyway.. BUT.. most shops closed at 5.30PM.. We didn’t know about it on our 1st day. We actually having a hard time finding food on the 1st day.. haha.. We learnt a lesson from there ..

We didn’t go around Christchurch 1st.. because we will be back and stay couple of days at the end of our journey. So we heading to AKAROA.
Along the way I saw yellow fields only.. Something different but breath taking views. My boys been nice along the journey.. most of the time they will be sleeping. Sometimes I will woke by big boy up to see some scenery. Don’t want him missed some nice scenery.

Some scenery taken while on the car heading to Akaroa.

We stopped at 1 of the road side and the sign board said ‘Waikoko.. The home of LightLord’..

I am admiring the small road together with the view.

Continue our journey.. and as usual New Zealand have the best scenery.. the landscap are awesome.. I can’t stop taking pictures even tho’ they looks the same all the way.. ;p

I love looking at the sheep.. it’s exactly like a wall calendar picture I saw when I was little..

Me with the view.. Can’t believe I forgot my other jacket..but I survived with the knitting jacket the whole time.. not so bad.. I got thick fat flesh to warm my body.. haha..

It’s almost sunset.. when the yellow field met the golden rays… it became gold! Picture perfect!! It looks just how it is in real life.. every where gold!

The Akaroa Lake view from hills. Amazingly beautiful!!

.. and another.. ha! How I admires the view..

On the other side of the road was mountain hills with gold in colours..

Okayyy.. Not done with the lake view ha.. me with the view.. hihi

My family members.. Hubby and the brothers.. this was how we are that moment.. ;p

At the back was our car.. front was my in laws..
To be cont..

Beautiful sceneries. The summer weather there is very mild. We dream of finding time and enough extra money to travel to New Zealand by caravan one of these days. Sini kat Adelaide pun banyak kedai tutup pukul 5 petang.
