Kiwispeak

Haven't had much to blog about lately so I'll have to continue searching for the next adventure out here in Kiwiland :)

Spent a reasonable amount of time last week planning and consequently finalising the year-end holiday plans - encompassing Auckland, Queenstown and (almost) everything in between. Pretty excited about it so will have loads of stuff to talk about then :)

In the meantime, let me feed you with some Kiwi speak that I learnt so far during my stay in this very interesting country:

Tangi Te Keo

Kia Ora folks,

If you're looking for great views of Wellington city, this post features my best (and first-time) takes of the windy township and everything around it.

We must first of all address that triangularish shiny prism-like unidentified immobile object.


I knew what it was a few weeks back when I visited it, but I porgot (Mom: aiyo! Leon must eat more fish or gingko for your memory!). Anyway, I believe it's some commemorative ...thingy.

Where we left off...

... more of my short hike to Mt. Victoria. Headed past the park entrance and straight into the deep end.


Yes, bad photography on my part, was playing around with the exposure. Blame the weather, one minute it gets cloudy and dark, the next minute it becomes all sunshiny and bright. So on we go...

Hello city!

Mount Victoria Lookout Point

Remember that great view of the city that I got from the botanical gardens? It actually gets better from the other side of the city. Let me introduce you to the Mount Victoria Lookout Point, a pictorial tour guide below.

Flashback - the view from the Botanical Gardens. Destination's at the opposite side of town.


First, head all the way to the end of Courtenay, the Embassy Theatre is your landmark. Take the Hill to the left. Forgot the name of the road. Was is Marjoram?
