I heard of a lot of wonderful stories from them after they came back from the trip. It was a really enjoyable trip experiencing the heaven like scenery and on experiencing how people make their living there at this little country near the south pole. Needless me to comment about how astonishing and beautiful the landscapes there are, just do a bit of Googling and one can see tons of them. I would presume that you at least watched The Lord of the ring, right? The movie is made there.

Well, anyway, I’m in no position to be to deliver their experience here precisely though but it was really an enjoyable trip! Worth it! Photos and videos captured would speak for them.

Auckland – City of sails

Auckland is known as the ‘city of sails’, and an often quoted – though difficult to prove – statistic is that there are more boats per capita in New Zealand than anywhere else in the world. (Quoted from NewZealand.com)

I hope I know at which cable car station they are at though.

Serene, peaceful, beautiful town. My parents said that you can never get into traffic jam as they have once counted that there are only 5 cars that pass through a town road in 10 minutes.

Oh wait, some time you do get into traffic when sheeps are making their way across the road to feed on other grassland.

That’s all for now. Enjoy your weekend folks.

Well, of course, we are given hour long lecture before we can pick out our stuff and get kicking!

It costs us RM 125 per pax for the white water rafting activity. I’m not sure if the price tag is too steep or what as this is my first time joining in. The water level is quite low on that day so we did not really experience any really steep drop that would surely send everyone going haywire panic screaming! Too bad.

There was a part along the journey where it’s called The Broken Dam. It was about a meter plus in height and if the the water stream flow above the wall, surely it gonna be a bang.

We did not know that they are going to charge us a whooping shocking expensive RM 150 for the shots. Fortunately, they shot a couple photo of ours.

After the grandmother story telling session, here’s some advices from HugoLim.com on your next water rafting trip.

Before getting wet.

• Bring your own (waterproof) camera.
• Of course, bring spare clothes to change after the trip.

While you are getting wet.

• Listen to what your guide say, they won’t kill you although you have signed the letter of liability release.
• Is your waterproof camera with you, still?
• Enjoy crushing into stone.

After you get wet.

• Congrats. You are alive. Get a shower, go home.

PS: Just enjoy the show.
