pangjang kisah di sebalik preparation nak pegi NZ ni..... meh meh denga dan baca
for this year, we chose NZ to be our VACAY2011. we bought ticket last year.. sbenanye target nk pegi Korea but terlepas promo price.... ku pon tak bersemangat sgt nk pegi Korea. sekali keluar NZ promo!! sememangnye tak menyesal~~ its was like a race for us beli ticket ni. actually promo price only started at 7.00am masa 2Dec2010, and we was heading north masa tu.. sempat jugak exit kat ipoh n cari McD semata2 nk beli ticket.... alhamdulillah berjaya!!
after few months waited with a LOT *seriously* dugaan came by and go utk pegi NZ ni, kitorang sangat hampir tak kesampaian ke sini.... thats why Jakarta getaway termasuk dlm senarai *hehe* setiap hari berdoa supaya Allah mudahkan kami ke NZ. and i pon tak packging langsung sbb tanak berharap sangat. but not until 2 hari sebelum flight take off~!! ku baru dapat confirmation release for this VACAY2011. syukur yg teramat sangat n masa tu baru la terhegeh2 i nk booking segala transport, baju, food etc. gelabah akak u ols~~!!!
on the day nk pegi tu was the day ku balik. selamat la flight malam pukul 11.40pm...... so night before tu i packing segala baju and food. bile ku sampai petang tu around 5pm, terus buat final check and repack. bawak 2 big bags to my dads house and repack balik sbb half of barang i kat situ. then tepat kul 8pm my mom dah readykan dinner n makan dgn sgt laju *10min je kot!!* and off we go. bak kata my parents "u all ni nak pegi holiday macam nak pegi perang" LOL~~ memang sgt tepat mama!!! spot on!!! sejuk2 tangan and jantung dup dap dup dap tak henti2 sbb penat punye pasal~~ sampai airport... aduhai!!! panjang gile kot queue....... mau pengsan nak tungu~ dah setel sume and check in segala... masuk dlm flight, then we pandang each other.... "akhirnye dapat jugak kite pegi kan bang.. macam mimpi" ku smiled and terus tido sbb dah terlalu letih!!
ok mesti dah penat baca ni.... mari kita mulakan pengembaraan
VACAY 2011
South Island, New Zealand
11 days 10 nights
Christchurch - Tekapo - Mount Cook - Wanaka - Queenstown - Te Anau - Milford Sound - Franz Josef - Greymouth - Arthur Pass - Kaikoura - Christchurch
Day 1 was our travelling day from KUL to CHC. it was a direct flight with Airasia. our ticket was RM2013 in total for 3 persons. it is way much cheaper than MAS or other airlines. landed in Christchurch International Airport around 1.55 pm local time. beza time is 5 hours. flight was full altho after earthquake. alhamdulillah we dont experience any earthquake during our stay in NZ. custom clearance was very easy and friendly too... tapi i punye bawang, cili api, cili merah tak lepas..... sob sob. so make sure u all bawak bawang or cili yg dah di blend or goreng... if not kempunan lah jawabnye!
dari airport Pacific Horizon shuttle took us to their office utk amik our rental campervan. meh nak cite pasal campervan. since we was confirmed to travel only 2 hari sebelum our flight, and altho i dah buat research on campervan, we picked Pacific Horizon and yes! we highly recommend this company.. they call me straight from NZ masa i kat KL to confirm my booking and to add any other extra requirement. since dah last min booking, our price is very much similar to other campervan company. so i took this based on our gut feeling. mesti ada yg tya nape tak amik budget or cheaper campervan... my answer.. dah fully book!! alhamdulillah the campervan is GREAT!!

sementara ku setelkan payment, fill up form etc, qistina sempat main2 lagi kat situ. i tak habis dok minum hot chocolate.. kata free kan~~ haruslah! we seriously satisfy with this campervan sbb everything is inside.. fridge, microwave, heater, toilet, shower, stove, grill, toaster, tv..... u just name it!! owh i lupe nk share why we choose campervan kan~ actually we have been planned to have a caravan holiday since 2009. but masa tu was our VACAY2009 to London, Spain, Paris, Morocco dgn my family and ku kata tunggu dulu... for NZ, this country ni mmg design for motorhome (campervan, caravan) so takde masalah dari segi mana nak parking. easier than check in-out hotel coz we need to travel from one place to another
masa amik our campervan pon dah almost pukul 4.00 pm. maghrib kat sini dalam 6.30 pm gitu. so terus pecut lah... isi minyak and zoom to Lake Tekapo~~ disebabkan first day kat sini and tak tau plan lagi, where to park our vehicle masa malam, kitorang end up kat Lake Tekapo Holiday Park. i sbenanye nk parking kat tepi Lake Tekapo tp since dah malam so kitorang pon tak tau where we are sbbnye tak familiar lagi dgn map segala, kitorang bayar jela NZD15 per person just to park kat situ.. they have banyak facilities.... lepas parking, masak, makan, solat, terus zoom~~~ tido!! kononnye esok tu nak bangun awal lah sbb tanak rugi masa.... kite tgk ape yg jadi!!
to be continue with VACAY 2011 South Island, NZ Day 2
