I AM BACK~~ hehehe, gosh it's been an eventful week, anyway... i'll do my Waiheke trip update today and Wellington one tomorrow ;)
ok.. waiheke trip.. that was on Sunday 20th Feb
NOTE: this is goign to be a photoblog, so... lucy apologises for ppl with slow internet connections.
We all met up at half moon bay at around 9:45am, and around 10am. off we went to Waiheke on the ferry ^____^ oh~~ and just before i get into anything, the ppl of this trip are Gilainne and Ronald (our driver), Tina and Henry, Stefan, me, Joel and Mei who came later at night.
Tina and I before we depart
Can't remember much about the ferry ride to Waiheke, but i remember sitting in those very comfortable chairs planning the places we are goign to visit and stuff.
From left, Tina, me and Gilanne on the ferry ^__^
view of Eastern beach from the ferry.
Our first stop is this really really pretty beach somewhere close to the ferry terminal? (correct me if i am wrong ok) ^^
Stefan enjoying his lunch at the beach.
The Liew couple posing for the camera.
After that we made a trip and visit our motel ^^ we booked for 3 rooms (a girls room, a guy's room, and joe and mei wanted their own room) but when we went there, we found that insteand of having 3 beds in a room, there's like... 6 -___- so we cancelled one room bringing our accomodation fee to a nice $28 ^^
Our lounge
Where Stefan and Henry suppose to sleep
Where Tina and I suppose to sleep
The lounge again, Gilainne is sitting on where she slept.. well.. kinda... and on the right u can see a tiny bit of the sofa bed
Kitchen where len cooked nice breakfast for us in the morning ^^
Afterwards we went driving around looking for the Lavender farm, and one the way we came across really really stunning views.
Nice nice views ^^
GROUP FOTO!!!
And so the search for the lavender farm continues.. we went passed one, but we thought it was the wrong one so we keep driving forward until eventaully the map ends.. hahah can u believe it.. the map just kind... 'finished' in the middle of nowhere, so our navigator Stefan have to use many maps and the one we printed from the lavender farm shop to roughly guess where it is.. eventually we made a U -turn and decided just to go to the one we passed by earlier.. and guess what? it is the one we were looking for.. LOL To get to the farm we either can drive there with 4WD or take a 5 mins bushwalk. since we dotn' have a 4WD, we took that scary tiny path bushwalk.. -___- took us about10~ 15 mins.. and when we get there.. this is what we saw
A pretty small farm with..er.. very pathetic looking lavenders
uh huh~~ apparently they just cut it like 2 weeks before we came... oh well~~ so much for all the effort finding that farm.
AT least their pond looks nice~~
Went and visit a vineyard after that, and bought a nice bottle of hand cream which emily told me later that i can buy the same stuff at farmers -___- oh well~
Tina and Len at this beach at Onewa village
Hm.. we waited at the beach till the time comes and we picked up joe and mei from the ferry terminal and went and had dinner at this cafe (dont know the name) after that we pretty much just stayed at the motel for the rest of the night.
Tina, Henry, Stefan, Joe, Mei (who can't be seen in this foto) and Ron were playign some drinking game, Len and i were just watching spiderman. heheh love that movie ^^
Hehehe IN the morning.. len woke up early and cooked us really nice breakfast.. ron did the bacon.. and i can't believe how much bacon guys can eat -_____- ANYWAY~~ we went to the beach we had lunch the previous day before we left.
Last look at the nice beach.
Hehehe on the ferry back, since this time round we don't need to plan anything, i just stood outside, it's such a ncie feeling, nice breeze blowing in my face. ^^ nice calm sea.. heheh eloved it ^^ except after a while i had salts everywhere -____-
NIce view from the ferry.
Anyway.. so here concludes my Waiheke trip.. thank you to everyeone for organising ^______^ i look forward to the next road trip.. and my Wellingon trip will be updated hopefully.. tomorrow ^^
NOTE: feel free to take any fotos u want, EXCEPT!!! plz don't foto shop the fotos, not nameing anyone in specific but er... yes.. i like those fotos just the way they are ;)
