Looking forward to NZ
 

Christmas is approaching & I'm getting excited.  Not just with the usual X'mas get-togethers with friends, the yummy X'mas logcakes & relaxed year-end atmosphere, but also the upcoming holiday to NZ with a stopover in Sydney.

Decided to head for Southern Island since it's reputed for the scenic sights.  Haven't done much planning for the trip yet.  Only booked the flights, hotel accommodation & car rental in NZ as well as the ice glacier hike.  This time round, I don't intent to plan too much.. just wanna relax & explore whatever our hearts & maps bring us. 

Super happy when I went to the NZ Tourism Office @ Faber House last week.  Managed to get plenty of informative brochure, maps & a mega thick & up-to-date guide book.  In the next few weeks, would at least work on booking the glow-worm cave & jet-boating to avoid disappointment & finalise the accomodation in Sydney.
