Here's my New Zealand South Island "Adventure" 8 months ago!!! I better start blogging about it before I lose all memory/recollection of what happened...LOL!
This South Island trip was in planning for MONTHS!!! Together with 2 girlfriends Juwinn & Sharon who fortunately clicked really well on that trip.....how bout me? Oh well, I was a bit of a pain-in-the-ass-dominatrix......I'm really grateful for my girls for being patient and kind-hearted. I guess you'll never really know someone until you live with them or go on a trip with them.....
I apologize on toes that I have stepped on but my anxiousness of missing flights, rides, tours got the better of me :-S
Here is a tale of the 3 musketeers! From AUCKLAND to DUNEDIN, OTAGO (also known as the Edinburgh of the South)
 |
| Yes...4th Dec 2011...lol! |
 |
| Rainy day that day.....it rains all the time in Auckland...doesn't matter whether it's winter or summer... |
 |
| Juwinn, me & Sharon...this was when I gained sooo much weight my face became round...luckily now slim edi :-P |
Upon arrival, all these beautiful mountains greeted us :-D We immediately went over to the car rental section of the airport to rent a car....due to good luck and also my awesome negotiation skills, we managed to rent a car for 3 days and 1/2 of what we were expecting to pay :-D
Our lil "Myvi-sh" car :-D
If you think this is beautiful, you haven't seen the rest of New Zealand yet :-)
 |
| Was designated driver for the whole trip as I was the most "experienced" in driving around New Zealand after living there for 6 months |
Anyhow, I've gotten some guidance on how to plan these trip from other bloggers/backpackers....couldn't really remember the sites as it was oh-so-long ago but I did "borrow" some information from those sites which I am grateful from the bottom of my heart as overall, the notes with I printed out (2-inch thick!) did help this trip become much smoother than expected...
Before I move on to Day 1 of my trip, I would like to give credits to Sharon Lum & Juwinn Tan for their AWESOME photography skills & also photographs :-)
First stop was St. Clair Beach!
ST CLAIR BEACH
 |
| Oooo La La....my sexy butt...lol! |
St. Clair Beach is Dunedin’s most popular beach destination. The beach is only about a 10-minute drive from the city center, and a walk along the promenade is a perfect way to start out your second day in Dunedin.
We stopped by a Fish & Chip shop to takeaway lunch as we were super starved! I discovered it was the CHEAPEST fish & chip shop throughout my 7 months living in New Zealand...can't exactly recall the price but I believe it was NZD$3-3.50 for the fish and the chips were only NZD$1.50-2....altogether it's only RM10-12 per meal!!!
You wouldn't see it in the picture, but the girls and I were surrounded by pesky seagulls who were attempting to attack us or our food...>__<" and I was soooo excited to see seagulls when I first touchdown in New Zealand....

| Random girl who dressed funny but had a cute bf :-S |

| At the playground area near the beach |
 |
| Was expecting Baywatch-ish lifeguards...but turned out to be "Ah Pek" Lifeguards...:-S |
 |
| Treasure Hunting....or burying a something :-S |
 |
| Loved this artsy and artistic shot while we were walking back to the car :-D |
Part 2 coming up!!! More beautiful pictures of South Island:-D
