Day 13 - Milford Sound

1st July, Sunday to cruise along Milford Sound using Kiwi Discovery $155/pp bus-ferry cruise-bus, with free lunch. Its the cheapest among all the tour companies. While we were walking to our pick-up at Millenium Hotel, at 7.30am, it was still pitch black & masih ada bulan, full moon lagitu...

In the bus, the road we're going along Lake Wakatipu, was so amazingly beautifull....it was still dark, but still you can see the mountains so clear, just behind was the full moon over the Lake Wakatipu....it was breath taking. Wanted to take a picture, but failed coz bus moving kan...
kinda looks like the picture below, but lagi malatup cantik...just replace the bukits to snow covered mountains....


this is not Lake Wakatipu, just to give gambaran...
at the mirror lake...
fiord covered with embuns...:(

mirror lake supposed to look like this...
snow di jalan raya...

the chasm bridge..

i took this picture because, the waterfall tidak sampai bawah, but halfway kena tiup angin...nice kan!!!

Milford Sound was also the location used to film the scenes of the Argonath in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring".
spotted some dolphins...


one of the many waterfalls..

ferry got up close with the waterfalls....many believes the water can get you 10years younger....

im soaking wet..
behind gerry macam wall saja..
Milford Sound, is a must go when you're visiting New Zealand...mesti bawa mama & daddy ni pigi sini..

Day 12 - Queenstown

30th June, Saturday, We took 7.30am Atomic Shuttles from Christchurch to Queenstown $50/pp. We took this bus, because its the earliest, so bulih sampai Queenstown awal sikit. But we forgot that the Christchurch public bus punya timetable start 7am onwards during weekend, and we have to be there 15 minutes earlier, nasib ada bus juga at exactly 7.00am...tapi berlari-lari juga lah after kami sampai city centre....sempat jugalah, phew..!!

We stayed at Scenic Circle A-line Hotel $105/per nite standard room, usually $248 good deal from I-site. ;-)
Luckily, when we reached Queenstown, the weather is so clear...the sun shinning & we can see the mountains...so cantik!!!!


woo hoo!! can see snow along jalan mau pigi Queenstown...when we passed Lake Tekapo the whole town coverred with snow, but sayang the bus did'nt stop there.
have u seen white rainbow before?
embuns coming..


i love the room...worth the money, got extra bed somemore.
right view from our room is the mountains

left view is the town center..
while we were walking mau pigi skyline gondola...we saw people playing rugby, interesting game...also you can someone doing paragliding at the back...so best...I want...but mahal..:(
Gerry watching rugby... nice kan the mountain view..

ngam-ngam when we were there got Winter Festival..so got Authentic Carousel just for $5/pp never ride this galloping horses before, so sya jadi kanak-kanak skejap...hehe so syiok...
