There are things in life that we sort of discover each day along the way. I have been to farms and zoos alot of times. Most of the time you tend to look at the animals as a whole. Until one day I looked into its eyes up close (its my friend Billy!). I only realised those gazing eyes are not only bright, its pupil is soo different. It is long trangle shaped, how facinating for me!

Holiday New Zealand

Mount Egmond in New Plymouth

Pretty Mosses grow on bushes near the top of Mt. Egmond

Went Hiking and pick up a giant pine corn, amazing!

Juicy Prickly Pear at Auckland Zoo

Too many miles, too thirsty!

Its only approx 8 hours from Perth. Never was keen to go to New Zealand because of the long hours (which I was told more than 10 hours?!). Now that I know, I wish I have visited the place sooner. What a beatiful country it is. So scenic and peaceful. The scenery is so breath taking and green green fields with cows and sheeps, surely I will be visiting again. This time, I will take longer than 8 days for sure.
