The Big New Zealand Trip

So this was my brilliant plan.

To land my bottom in the main hub of New Zealand - Auckland, and somehow someway find my way all around the country in two weeks time, travelling from North Island to the South.

But only taking one domestic flight from Auckland to the Capital city - Wellington.

Before finally flying out from Christchurch two weeks later.

Not difficult to sort it out eh?

So basically I just have to figure out my transport from Wellington to Christchurch.

Afterall, it's just an ocean apart and some 337km of land journey away. o.O
*will talk about that later*

Back to Auckland. My stay in Auckland started with a bang.

that's flame coming out from her mouth

Nothing beats a good old hit-the-pub-and-get-drunk first evening.
(actually it was the 2nd evening considering I landed at night)

I met up with my Auckland reader Amy (as read here) who introduced me to her boyfriend and they brought me to a local pub for some authentic Flaming Lamborghini.

Actually it was the table next to us who ordered it.

Now that's what I called a F.Lambo!!
(Makes our Malaysian style looks pretty fag.)

Basically the human induced flame will melt the straws and let the colorful liquors drop into more liqours. But the stunt was awesome!

I opted for something more feminine.

A special concoction donno-what-its-name made up by the bartender.

All tipsy and ready to go!
Let's get this kiwi entry started!

My host was a friend-once-removed who picked me up from the airport and comfortably tucked into their house on my first night.

(And later transported me to a friend-twice-removed house the second and third night, wtf)

The second morning, Amy and bf took me on a roadtrip to the north (it's actually a personal affair trip but I itchy butt tagged along).

All the way up to Kaitaia (or near there).

With this little fellow.

Name's Junior and he's the horniest little thing ever.
(Will mention about that in a bit)

I brought my little friend along too.

Meet Cookie. Again. (Little fellow has traveled with me to quite a number of countries now)

We took the backseat while the driver drove on toward Kaitaia. Which would take HOURS, considering the nauseatingly windy road.

And all this for what?
You'll never guess.

To meet Junior's wife.

actually that would be Junior's little playmate
and actually the playmate is the little puppy to the left, not the mother jumping at the leg

She's the cutest little thing ever.

Gave me the impulse to get a chihuahua of my own really.

Then for the first time in Junior's life, despite the youth of the female puppy, he got an erection. CONSISTENTLY!

Haha!!!

He can't stop wanting to hump her at every possible chance the whole journey back. LOL
To the point that Amy has to sit at the back just to hold Junior back while the other sat in front, or vice versa.

Poor little girl, probably has been raped a million times by now.

On the way back, we drove pass Kerikeri, which was really near to Bay of Islands.

Stopped by for a lunch break

Now Bay of Islands was made popular by this author named Zane Grey who took a turning at the Edge of the World, aka Cape Brett, and discovered the beauty of Bay of Islands almost 90 years ago. You can read about the story here.

Intrigued by how beautiful this place would be, I made Amy and bf made a detour to travel back to Auckland via the seaside route, and dropping by the corner of the mainland where the bay laid, just to take in a breather.

Obviously I was too far from the true wonders of the bay and the group of islands lying far off from the mainland.

But standing where I was, I could almost imagine how amazing this place could be.

Surrounded by clusters of small emerges from the sea.

Not wanting to drag the long haul roadtrip for too long, we departed for Auckland almost too shortly. Arriving back in town just in time for dinner.

Next day, I met up with friend-thrice-removed Annie together with my second night host (also friend-twice-removed Ms Sook Ping) (This is getting confusing) for a shopping spree in Auckland!!!

Oh but look, what's this?

A Shih Tzu!! Inside a trolley bag! Going shopping!!

Guys, this was (is) the 6000 Autralian dollars dog that migrated/flew from Malaysia and now was (is) the legal citizen of New Zealand, complete with chip inside him - Teebo.

You lucky pampered little thang.

As for shopping, I bought quite a few things and a few gifts for love ones back home, and also this.

A beret!

Now I was all french.

Just in case you critical asses out there who want to judge, I DO realise there's a proper way to wear your beret.

Which is to cup it over your head down to the upper front part of your forehead, and tilt it to one side. Like this.
