Air and leaving....

Christchurch is my end destination for my NZ journey... After 3 month... spending 2.5k NZD...
Thanks a lot to Jess for a ride to air port in early morning...
Awesome alps of South Island..

Domestic flight bring us back to Auckland again for transit... is a long time i never see such wide area of city...
Transit in progress... Is a good day to leave....
They hope i can publish their intention....

A day before departure, i wonder if i can stay longer in NZ... I think this is the experience that i never forget in my life... Experience that inspire, and improve myself... and ready for life of my career...
While waiting at departure hall, i can't wait to be home... back to the place that i should appreciate....
Upon touch down at KLIA....
"Back to my life... a life with tommorow..." and i want to eat char ying yoong.....

Romantic Tekapo

Color of this lake is like a jade. There is a church beside Tekapo Lake, which is a famous church for wedding ceremony... Couple look out through this window and look at romantic Tekapo Lake...

Beside the lake, is a day with mist and sunshine... Those rock really seem shining...

Now i know why this place is so idea for wedding.... is some kind of romantic in nature way...

Wind is cold, and a bit of rain... so i wear my winter cloth... This view is so origin and classic that bring me few hundred years backward...

Oamaru

Oamaru is a resting point, as we don't want to make our trip so rushing... We stay at Swaggers Backpackers, which more like a home stay... I didnt take much photo there...
I take some time for my dinner, my own recipe for mesh potato now added with onion....
Dusky view at Oamaru... Looks like Mordor with fire from far.
Lamp post on pier... A lot labor standby here waiting for fisherman...
Pier for birds...
A lot of bank in NZ is using historic building for business purpose...
After good rest, we are leaving to next destination.

Loyal lion, stay firm even sun shine, strong wind and cold air... Protecting raiway station here...
Most stepping road in the world...
In Dunedin, there are few way to watch penguin, commercial way is goto zoo, or marine park. But in order to see wild penguin, they are several point to watch. At particular time in evening, with binacular, you can see penguin came out from sea, walk toward bush, which shall be their house, they afraid of people, so no light allow, and we need to stand far from beach, on designated tower, my camera can't zoom much, but i manage to shoot a tiny view of penguin, with digital zoom, from viewing tower at Shaq Point. hehe...
