New Zealand~~ home of the kiwis....and penguins.
flying over the snowy mountains feels sooo good, the sky clear blue, what a beautiful world


arrived first at Christchurch, a nice quite little town, it is the entrance to the south pole, so if you wanna go to the south pole, you will board the 8 hour enclosed army flight from the flight center in Christchurch, and be sure to dress for the weather... as for me, I am good with just visiting the Antarctica Center, can't deal with cold too well. There in the Antarctica center, I pay a visit to the little blue penguins, they area sooo cute.



Queenstown, wow what a beautiful town, surrounding by endless mountain ranges, facing a crystal clear lake, heaven feels so near now.....the views are amazingly stunning, the water are pristine. Pristine, a word I can really understand now.

Milford Sound...what's the difference between Sound, Fiord and Gorge? they all look similar, but Sound is made by the float of river, Fiord is carved by glacial activity from the last ice age and Gorge is form as a result of tectonic plate movement. you know what, I have been to Fiords in Norway, Gorges in China, and I am just finding out their differences now, in New Zealand, how ignorant I have been, and I am thankful for learning something new now. Milford Sound which should be Milford Fiord, but some how no one is bother to making the correction, any way it is beautiful as every where else in New Zealand

en route back to Queenstown, some locals drop by


After Milford Sound, I was put on hole for a day for my horseback riding due to bad weather in Glenochy, so I went on the driving tour of Lord of The Ring...since the movie was filmed about 10 years ago, there aren't much of the set left on site, NZ goverment had done an amazing job protecting their natural landscape and wildlife habitats. I my self is not a big fan of the movie, so I am on this tour mainly for the landscape, which I have to say is amazing......we stop at a very small town name Glenochy, which has about 6 blocks between endless mountain and a beautiful lake, all are one story housings, so you can see the whole town standing at any point on the road......




after LOTR tour, my last day in Queenstown I finally get to my horseback riding and kayaking, it was also amazing,

this is my horse, Harry, he was in Lord of The Ring
