TRAVEL | NEW ZEALAND DAY 2
 |
| Queenstown |
Coming into our second day
in New Zealand, we’re actually pretty anticipating it and looking forward to
this rather impromptu trip, hopefully will go smoothly.
 |
| Queenstown |
As we’re flying off to Queenstown via Air New
Zealand, we need to go over to Domestic Departure which is actually some
distance away from the main Auckland International Airport. But fret not, there
will be a GREEN shuttle bus available
meant for this internal transfer. So just make sure you arrived before the
boarding time or earlier if you have luggage to check in.
You could opt to check in
online or on the spot by scanning the barcode in your pre-booked flight ticket
at the designated machine. Just hover the code under the scanner and your
details will be automatically read before your actual boarding pass is printed
out (and also luggage tag should you have check in luggage on hand too, the
weight starts from 23kg)
After which, we headed to
some cafes nearby for some quick caffeine-fix at D Bach Café and Take Off Espresso.

After about 2 hours, we
finally touched down at the much more visually appealing city of Queenstown!

With excitements
exuberantly filled within us, we went to get our Toyota Corolla from Go
Rentals, Queenstown Airport branch. Service was swift and fast, not
forgetting the amiable staff too. Tēnā
koutou!
Without further ado after
brief checking on the car fitness, we immediately kick start our maiden journey
to the central down and grab some must-have signatures such as the Fergburger!

We really devoured the
lusciousness of this Fergburger! No wonder it was widely recommended and much
loved by the locals! We’re pretty lucky that we need not queue long that day,
perhaps due to the coincidental odd hours, we were guessing, hehe….

Rather full, hence we took
a stroll nearby Beach St and there’s where we found the stunning Laka Wakatipu by chance, bravo!

Soon after that, we left
and made our way quickly to Wanaka as it was about an hour plus away, hopefully
to reach by early evening. We were rather lucky as the weather was fine, still
in time to snaps a few quick shots along the way, before finally arriving at Wanaka View Motel, another
peaceful town to look forward to.

This quaint lovely town would enchant you with another
of its asset- Lake Wanaka! But let’s
keep that for Day 3 Travel sharing alright? Hehe……
Room was comfortably decent
with ensuite bathroom, yeah!
 |
| Yeah, i can do my own French Press! |
We then sought the friendly
staff’s suggestion on what’s food to try over here, which eatery was more
frequented by the local- and that’s when we made up our mind to Speight’s Ale House!

So far, the impromptu
birthday getaway had been nice to us. Least that I expected that I could really
see them for real- rolling green mountains, pristine lakes and azure vistas!
All of which usually I used to adore them from Google picture prior to my trip!
Truly blessed and wish could enjoy the moment a little longer.
Simply put it, create your
own trail and stop at nothing to see everything!
(Yeah, we travel around
South NZ by driving, and that also means we stop (almost) at every nook and
corner with picturesque views that instantly enchant us along the cruise! So you
can have a good guess on ‘how well’ we keep up with our initially estimated
arrival time at next pit stop,
Cheers for now and follow
us at Carpe Diem for more ‘food-ful’ discoveries! ❤ℒℴѵℯ❤
And our travel journey
continues....................
