New Zealand: Invercargill - The Town

Invercargill, located in the lowest part of the south island, the place where you take ferry to go to Steward island.

In one word, a darn boring city.

Well it is a developed city, as big as hmm... New Plymouth, perhaps. Its a good place for you to take a rest after long drive, but trust me, you don't need to spend whole day in this city, even the tourist information site was telling me here has nothing interesting, except a garden or if you want to take the ferry to go to Steward Island.

Well if you have extra time, you can go to Bluff, a township away from Invercargil like 1 hour, for the scenic view and seafood (only if you have budget lar~).

And we actually been there, the look-out-point from the top of Bluff is just ok, well you can see Steward Island from the point, and seriously there is nothing much you can do over there.

But yea if you have plenty of time, you can always stay there for couple night and experience the life. Perhaps do tracking in Steward Island. Llyord told me that i should go to Steward Island for jungle tracking and kayaking for few days before i left Mot. He emphasized that place is awesome.

I have no time, and i think Steward Island is just okay.. So i have a short stop in Invercargil for lunch and got some grocery before leaving to Queenstown, the town of EXPENSIVE. Seriously, everything is expensive after Invercargil, especially grocery and petrol .



The giant umbrella in front of the high court is the land mark of Invercargil, well nothing special and i have no idea what the hell the umbrella for.

Oh yea, we know there is a most southern Starbucks cafe in this town, so we ask for the map and location, just went there for coffee and tea (i've reaction on coffin la), for the sake of "the most southern Starbuck".




Before we leave to Bluff (and heck i have no photos from Bluff, too bored to take), we pass by a nice building, i have no idea what the hell is it and Ju just jumped off from the car, run toward the building just to snap some photo.

I was guessing what is the building for, and as i guess, it is a water tower. LOL


Got our lunch in Mc. Donald. And HEYYYYYYYYY i suddenly remember, Mc. Donald in Invercargill has FREE WIFI! PERCUMA, MIAN FEI, FREEEEEEE!

Yea so if you wanna go online for free, no need look for library la, go Mc. Donald, bruncha people online there without spending there pun.

People say south island is not as developed as north but heck is not true lo, at least i found more free wifi in south more than north. Che.

Photo below taken by Ju, i was like pig but i wanna show how BIG is the burger in New Zealand Mc. Donald lo.

The one i holding is Legend Burger or something like this, fried chicken fillet with bacon and cheese, damn yummy and i missed it alot!

p/s: oh hell yea! above photos ain't taken by Xiao P, all from Ju's camera. I cant remember why i didn't take any photos in this town, probably i left my camera in the car or i just feel nothing to taking of. So i don't bother to edit all the photos, copyright under Julien Lai. Sekalian, terima kasih.
