Suddenly, I’m in South Island…

Because of lacking money, and the agent told me there is work available in south island…
I leave Tauranga to start working immediately…

Now I found that I was so stupid!
Because of some financial stress, I spent 1 week accommodation fee to travel to south island~
And when I reached here, I found that the work is not suitable me…
And I missed the Country of Kiwi——Tepuke!

The trip was arranged by the agent…
I was following 2 chinese, Tony and HY to South Island…
It’s better to go in group and by private car because cheaper, faster and safer…
Cost: 127 NZD/Trip

The Journey was from

Tauranga > Rotorua > Road 1 > Wellington > Picton > Motueka

 

The wind in Wellington is legendary strong!
I can’t stand the wind any longer than 10 minutes!

Because the ship start around 6pm and we reached 2pm
So I spent my time on the book I brought with me and the terminal~

接下来的海路旅程!My Sea Journey!Wellington的景点,Place to play around WellingtonNo Bees to South Island? But I still see some there...

At the terminal, I did the most profit spending in NZ…
Which was spend 1 NZD to play the Chocolate Clipping Machine, 3 chances, and clipped 2 chocolate which cost 4 NZD from the store~

About 4pm, the ship had come and time to check-in!

车子是这样出来的哦... How car store in the ship...嗒哒...我们即将上的船~ Tada... Time for boarding~

Waiting in the check-in line…
Wanted to take the photo of seagull outside, but the wind is too big!

海岸上有许多的海鸥~ Many Seagull outside~

Even the seagull also unable to fly~

Time to photography on the ship!

 

This time we are using Inter Islander

Cost: 3 peoples + 1 car 283 NZD

After reached Picton around 9pm, Our driver direct drive to Motueka…
From the map, we saw a shortcut to Motueka, but it’s a mountain road…
Although the road is shorter but the speed is slower too…
At last we reached Motueka around 12pm..

The Journey to South Island ended, and the life at Motueka Begin…

不知不觉就到了南岛…

原本预计在Tauranga/Te Puke赚钱,才开始旅行…
但因为急着找工,身上的钱越来越少…
又听见中介说南岛有工,就马上决定到南岛工作~

现在回想起来自己很笨!
因为一时的紧张,就把还可以住多一个礼拜的住宿费花在去南岛的车费~
而且来到南岛,又不是适合我的工作…
最后连Kiwi的王国——Te Puke都没有去到!

这次下南岛,是由中介安排我跟一辆车去…
车上是两个中国人,一男一女,HY和Tony…
大家一起share油钱,会比较便宜,而且有个照应会比较好…
所以3个人就浩浩荡荡出发了~
价格:127 NZD/趟

这个旅程是从

Tauranga > Rotorua > Road 1 > Wellington > Picton > Motueka

 

到了Wellington,那里的风真的如传说中的大!
我没办法在外呆上10分钟!

因为我们2点多到,而我们的船是在6点才会开…
所以有好大段的时间要等~
感谢神这次我带了一本书去…
除了才车上看书,就是下去渡口走走~

接下来的海路旅程!My Sea Journey!Wellington的景点,Place to play around WellingtonNo Bees to South Island? But I still see some there...

在这里我也花了纽西兰最值得的一笔钱…
就是花1 NZD去玩夹巧克力机器,3次机会夹了2条巧克力,值4 NZD!

大约4点多,船终于来了!

车子是这样出来的哦... How car store in the ship...嗒哒...我们即将上的船~ Tada... Time for boarding~

到了Check-in line,又是要等的时间…
车外超多海鸥的,很想下去和它们拍照…
但风真的是太大太大了!

海岸上有许多的海鸥~ Many Seagull outside~

就连海鸥自己都飞不起来~

上来船,当然又是拍照的时间!

 

忘了说这次我们用的是Inter Islander

价钱:3个人+1辆车 283 NZD

晚上9点抵达了Picton,就1 kali冲到Motueka…
途中为了抄地图上的近路,才发现是弯弯曲曲的山路…
结果晚上12点才抵达Motueka…

南岛之旅就这样结束了,在Motueka就是受苦的日子…

Tauranga——The Bay of Plenty

The searching of Kiwi Fruit lead me to the Kiwi City, Tauranga.
Which located at the Bay of Plenty

At first I booked the YHA Tauranga…
But the reception told I come earlier 1 day before the booking…
What a bad mistake I made!
Finally I went to the closest BBH——Loft 109 to over this night…
Cost: 25 NZD/night

The BBH located on the shop lot, similar to my brother’s House of Kititto…
I was arranged to a 7person dorm, and I only a Malay from Malaysia before I leave…
He’ll be working in a Packhouse in Tauranga~
There is a balcony on the top floor which provide some sea view (Forgot to take some photo)
But it only offer 50MB of internet data… which only can update some facebook and twitter…

Since I found a place to stay, time to worry about my dinner~
On the way to Pack’,Save, I accidently saw the sunset in Tauranga…
The amazing light ray chase away my hunger, build up the passion of photography~
Finally, I spend 20 minutes to complete a Time Lapse and some HDR photo…

The Next day, I immediately changed to YHA and talk a walk in Waikareao Walk

 

Since I have a pastor move to new zealand and have a church in Tauranga…

Then, I check-in to the YHA, and they arranged me to a 6 person dorm…
I met 1 Korean who working as a waitress in Tauranga, and 1 Europe who waiting for a job…
During the day I stay, there are 3 indians move in our dorm…
One of their snoring cause the whole room can’t sleep whole night!
Finally experience the power of snoring~
As overall, I like the YHA so much, clean and wonderful environment, and it own Bush Walk~

Since there is no job, I take a walk to Mt. Maunganui~

 

After taking the walk, still thinking to take a hot salt bath under the Mt.
But received a call from agent about work available in Motueka…
Finally leaving Tauranga a rush~
