The Kiwi Capitol

Ok saya kepala sakit, i bet you guys stare at the photos longer a bit pun sama.

Ok la failure in editing the photos, i try to make the photos to more hmm... more hmmm.. beau..ti..ful?

Yea yea yea a failure. But i don't care coz i'm lazy to edit all over again, just let the photos to stimulate your eye balls just for once.

Alright as mentioned in the last post. The journey to Te Puke from Auckland.

We got Yoyo, and we travel with Yoyo in the 4th day i arrived in NZ.

Leaving from the city

Heading to the rural


Feed Yoyo before the journey

Mei Yee is sleeping..

Sun is driving..

I'm looking at the map!

I'm so nervous the day before we departed to Te Puke, coz wireless and free internet connection is not popular in NZ yet, you want to online and you have to pay, and its hell expensive. In the hostel, we bought 1 hour internet time with 3NZD, around 6RM.

Ok this is not the main point, the main point is, we're relay on the internet much, and sun and mei yee don't have any experience in backpacking in western country. I feel like i have the
responsibility to lead them and settle everything for them.

So again, the main point is, we cant find the way to Te Puke from Auckland!!!!

All we have is the map, hard copy one.

If you know me well, i cant read the map well, but anyway, i jsut have to try, i don't have other choice.

So i figured out a way to go onto the highway the night before depart.

And yea, i did it :D.

This is the best thing of backpacking, things come suddenly, and you just have to solve it, i just love the feeling when i achieve something like this.

And of course, NZ highway is pretty clear and simple, and, small.

They called the 2 lines road as "highway", which in Malaysia, we refer this as "kampung road".

Stop at the road side for lunch, cool campervan at front

The owner of the campervan bring doggies along!

Taking photo, placed my Xiao P on the dustbin.

And continue the journey

Its easier to found a cow than a human here.

From Auckland to Te Puke is 200km++ according to Google map, if i drive in Malaysia, its around 2 to 3 hours to reach, but in NZ, took us 4 ++ hours.

No kidding, we drive slow, coz NZ very strict on the traffic, i stopped by a traffic just for random check, and everyone is follow the law, follow the speed, and drive really safe, so we adapt the culture, and follow the speed.

We follow the State Highway 2 to the direction of Tauranga, before Tauranga turn to Te Puke, but we took wrong turn and the road leaded us to Mountain Maunganui, an attraction of NZ.

The seaside of Mt. Maunganui

I love this one :D

Sun and Mei Yee
