NZ Trip Day 18 & 19 - Wellington and flight to Auckland

The weather in NZ just the same as AU, it could change so fast.
Day 17 feels like a storm, but day 18 was the best weather I ever had in NZ, strange huh~?

Woke up at 9 at start my one day city tour, first went to the cable car station by bus, which cost just NZ$1 because it's in the city sector. But when I arrived the cable car was CLOSED! what the hell... Well...safety test from 31 Oct to 3 Nov... sigh.... So I decided to walk around the city. Well...The complexity of the street is comparative with the street in Central of Hong Kong... but of coz there's no problem for me... XD

The Old Parliament House of Wellington had a nickname, " Beehive", due to it's shape and appearance. Visited the church, the train station... well.... those kind of stuff... XD

After that I walked down to the waterfront park. It was so nice, so relax, people were playing different kind of sport on the grass~ oh my god~ I gonna miss these after I returned to HK...

For dinner, I used a lot of oil to cook some beef and Onion~ Is it more oil = taste good? I'm not sure before but now I started to believe it. XD

6 people in the room, one of them was snoring so LOUDLY! and everyone can't sleep... -.-" Annoying... but that's a dorm room...


From Wellington



Day 19, got up at 9am to catch the bus, route 91, to the Wellington airport.
I was on flight NZ426, from Wellington to Auckland. The Air New Zealand have a baggage tag machine which you could print the baggage label for yourself... And the Domestic flight are just so easy, simple security check in front of the gate, then jump in to the plane.... that's it....

The flight was done by a Boeing 737-300, depart from gate 17, push back and taxi to RWY 34, take off without any problem, chips and coffee and tea were served when the plane stabled, and candy. The plane started to descend very soon after reaching cruise level, I didn't have time to finish my Sudoku! Feels like use POKOM arrival, runway in sight, make a right turn to align runway 05R, keep descend, touch down, air break, reverse throttle, taxi to gate 32, left the gate area, take the backpack, that's it~

Jump on a bus from airport to the city which took around 20min~ then arrived YHA~ Easy~

From NZ426, Wellington to Auckland





Well, got to find something to eat doh~ Can't wait for the hiking in the coming 5 days, but the bad news is, it's going to rain, heavy rain! well...See one step, walk one step... XD
