Day 5 in New Zealand

Day 5 - Queenstown, Milford Sound

Scenery just outside the hotel




Visit the mirror lake


I totally love this pic. Look at the reflection of the mountains in the lake. They look even clearer!


A sign that looks like some russian words but says "mirror lake" when u read its reflection


Scenery at Milford Sound.






Taking the cruise












Seals, which looked like small black lumps on the rocks.


Trying to pose with the seals.


Me trying to make Daryl an angel... see the ring of cloud on his head?


This waterfall was really nice!! The cruise went so close to the waterfall that we were drenched from it. And it felt like heavenly rain.


Bye waterfall...


Love the scenery

Day 6 in New Zealand

Day 6 - Queenstown & Farmstay

First we went to Arrowtown. We arrived so early that only a few shops were opened, bad planning from Chan Bros la. The whole place looked so deserted that it is better for me to post this photo:


Next, Bungee!! I would have tried if I am a totally healthy person leh. (i think lah) It is high but I think once u overcome the fear of bungee, nothing is scary le. Here is a photo of a guy jumping!




Church of the Good Shepherd








Lake Tekapo
 

Garden + Fruits and other food souvenirs stall










Farmstay - We were divided into groups of 4 - 5 and dispatched to different farmers for our farmstay.  I thought my farmstay was quite fun until i hear the other fellow tour members' experience... one of them got to hug and feed a sheep, ride on a pony and play with the house dogs. I only get to touch the sheep.

Outside the house


Inside the house.. a nice fireplace and cosy living/dining area




Our snack and SUPER yummy dinner, I think the best meal I had in NZ.




Pics of sheep












Their smoke house


We're under the tree!


Life is so simple, quiet, slow and relaxing.
Daryl and the pet cat. They have 2 pet cats, no dogs. :(
