I am back to town.

As much as I love traveling, there is still no place better than home.

I was back on Friday night and had a me-time for the past 2 days. Fiuhhh.... So good to be home.

Time for the report...

New Zealand is okay, at least the north island is.

I am not sure about South, but people always say the South is better which I think it's true.

My friend from Indonesia also went to NZ at the same time as me but he went to the South one and his pictures look amazing, not like mine ;p

Dammit!

The north one... hmm... what can I say? It's kinda boring.

Only few attractions, mostly are outdoor activities in which if you won't do it there is nothing much to do left. Not that I am not an outdoor person, it's just not the time. We did not go there aiming for the outdoor things; besides I have done skydiving before in Melbourne.

First, Auckland is just another city. I would like to say metropolitan city but it's not that metro as well.

It's big but the city is small. If you don't rent a car, you're screwed.

It's quiet, not that a lot of people (even) compared to Melbourne.

We visited Sky Tower which I admit the city view is amazing especially in sunset. But that's all about it!

We also went to Bay of Islands to see Hole in the Rock and 'dolphin' supposedly.

In fact, no dolphin which I was really really disappointed. The hole in the rock? Well..... for me it's not attractive at all.

The Hobbiton in Matamata is the nicest one of all places we visited in NZ.

At least it's unique, special and beautiful.

Rotorua and Wellington are even worse. There is not many things there.

Polynesian Spa and OGO in Rotorua are the only one I like.

I am sure NZ is popular for the view and nature but I did not see this in North Island.

Ohh... by the way, the food sucks and it's expensive too.

The food I had that I considered good in NZ was only the steak from The Grill by Sean Connolly in Auckland.

So, if you are going to NZ, make sure you go to the South instead of North and hope that you are outdoor activities person (ski, bungee jumping, skydive, rafting, diving, etc).

I am going to New Zealand. Confirmed!

It's all so sudden and we just talked about it last week, plan the trip and destinations, arrange the time and finally book everything today.

Anw, after a long thought, we decided to just go to Auckland and Wellington for now, but we will also stop over in Rotorua.

Don't think it's cheap, it's expensive considered it's close to Melbourne.

Anyway, will be a tiring week but hope everything is going well and smooth.

I know it's been a while since my last post.

I understand my previous post's title is 'til the second day',

but 2nd day, 3rd day, 4th and so on... I have no more energy to blog.

We always got back home really late between 11pm to 1am.

Our feet were killing us every day. We were super duper tired but it's all worth it.

We enjoyed every moment, every food, every heat in Singapore. I swear it's so hot.

I remember Singapore is used to be chilling and has just a perfect weather. Guess global warming is really happening.

Anw, my boyfriend went back to Indonesia already this evening. Sad? Of course.

8 days are too fast. And just because he went back, I have a lotttttt of time to do whatever.

In fact, I don't know what I should do. I will also have the whole day tomorrow to spend. Haiz....

I wish I can go back to Melbourne today as well.

Well, forget about that, now let's talk what we did this week.

We basically just eat eat and eat, walk walk and walk.

We were being a tourist for few days and it's so damn tiring.

Ohh... we also went out several times with our friend here.

Being with a local is always good, we tried new food, new things, know new places. Just nice!

Not too forget... we watched Fast Furious 6. Of course! And it's the premiere one, with the normal price. I have no idea how this works in Singapore, or is it normal?

Last but not least, we shopped. In Singapore, who doesn't?

00:00 now... Good night!
