A early start in Christchurch in order to catch a train to
Picton. This train ride was similar to the one on Day 4, but now as stunning as it. While I departed from Christchurch
YHA, I met a Germany girl Susanna, she's traveling alone New Zealand. Unfortunately she's not going to
Picton but
Kaikiura :\ anyway it's always good to have someone to talk along your journey~
Most travelers will go directly to the ferry and don't stop at
Picton, but I decided to stay there for an hour to have a look to the town. But it's
actually a "One street town", small and nothing much to see. Had a lunch in Subway then head to the ferry terminal.
The
Interislander is a ferry service between
Picton and Wellington, or say, the North and South island which transport passengers, cars and also cargo. Everyone said the view during the cruise was really great and yes that's true! Same as other place in NZ, the view is just spectacular.
On the ferry, I met a Mexico couple which I first met them at Dunedin, and also my room mate in the Doubtful Sound overnight cruise. All of us got our own schedule but we met on a ferry. What a small world!
A bit sad when I look back the south island, I had fallen in love to it and I just don't wanna leave. But I can't. Bye South Island!! I'll miss you!!! ~o~""
Arrived Wellington, well, back to a city, feel not really good
doh.... Modern, tall building, crowd, traffic, I just can't really get use to it... ( What's gonna happen when I returned to
HK?! )
Jump on the shuttle which brought me to the train station, then take bus no. 2 to Wellington
YHA. It's already 7 o'clock. Settled down and went to super market to buy some stuff to cook~ OH I miss supermarket!!! Bought a lot of stuff including things that I can't finish in 2 days such as oil...bread.... And used a lot of oil to cooked some pork with onion~ The taste for the pork..err...
ok la... But the rice mixed with the oil tasted so so so good! May be
becoz of the onion..~ ha~ Haven't eat such kind of
Hong Kong's food for so long~ 正!
After I finished my dinner and started to clean up my dished, a guy suddenly come and ask if I'm Chinese or Korean. And I said I am from
Hong Kong. oh... the guy was a Korean and he was arguing with another
Chinese about where am I from...
LoL.... well they then invited my for a beer. Two Korean,
Joo and
Mer-Lin, and a Chinese from
Shadong, Yang, are studying in the same
English school, and they're having a beer
coz it's Friday night~!
Well they are all funny people~ We had a nice time till 11pm and they got to go home~ What a wonderful time~!
Take a shower and went to bed at 12am.
The fire alarm started at 1 am... -.-
I wanna stay in bed but one of the alarm located inside my room that force all of us to leave :\
And it's a false alarm :\ :\ :\
Woke up at 11am, had a great
breakfast then it's time to go out!! But the weather was so bad today, similar to a Typhoon signal number 9 in
HK, but there was
actually no typhoon -.-"
Planned to go to the gondola with cable car, but the view won't be good so I decided to go to Te
PaPa, Museum of New Zealand. Te
PaPa was the second best Museum I have visited, the best one is still Melbourne Museum, and it really worth a visit. Didn't take many photos
coz museums are more or less the same.
XD When I was on the way back to
YHA, the gust wind blown my glasses away on to the road! I told my friend, "雖然我很輕，但我下盤還算紮實"
XD But the wind was just so strong! that I can't even stand well! Luckily there was no car. After I managed to stand and walk I went to pick up my glasses which was 20m away. -.-" (
Imagine how bad is the weather!)
Quickly walk back to
YHA, good, another lazy day.
XDThe weather should be fine tomorrow, at least I can't hear the wind shacking the window now.
Tomorrow, the last day in Wellington, and will up to Auckland on Monday~
Bye everyone, have a good day!
OiOi : Yes... come next time when you visit Australia~
c : Need some lazy day after so many stuff,
coz I'm lazy~ :p

Kevin Reed, 36, of Pensacola breaks down and weeps upon seeing the oil-defiled shores of Pensacola Beach on June 23, 2010. Reed's father taught him to swim in these waters, and Reed just taught his five year old son to swim here. "This will never be the same," he says. "I'd like to take the CEO of BP and jam his face in that pile on the beach."
