road trip 01
road route: dress smart -> hamilton --> waitomo --> hamilton --> auckland (home)
the whole thing was so so so so nice. :) did some shoppin at dress smart.
1, nike sport shoes (finally get to air the one i have been wearing daily for one month)
2. flip flops (start equippin my self for beach in spring)
3. and swim wear!!

drove for about one hour plus plus plus...hamilton was even better. its a small town. not too small. maybe the size of central singapore? haha... we wents to 181 scotts "-" for lunch. wah.. its was mamamiya. ate some apple and honey milk hotcakes. mmm.. then had dessert. double chocolate swisws cake. *swoons*

we drove to hamilton gardens. its really scenic. nothing like our botanica gardens. haha.. saw 2 rainbows together. it was funny that we were rushing here and there cos we reached there quite late and daylight last only till about 5pm. but thank God. it only got dark at 6pm that day.


then reached our waitomo. we stayed in a hut. very comfortable. the duvet was thick and comfy. rachel and i took the second level of the hut. and the guys slept on the first level. ate our packed dinner. then crapped the night away. i seem to do this very often. become expert le.
next morning went to waitomo caves to see glow worms. oOOoooOoOooooooooOOoo speechless. the beauty. the first time i was 34m under ground in a huge huge cave. wat i learn about temperate limestone karst, stalagmites and stalacites all make sense just by seeing it with my bare eyes. there was this river in the middle of the cave, went for a boat ride there. the glow worms were like the milky way in the night sky. the boat was supposed to take us to the jetty but as it was pouring, we had to boat back to the caves. haha.. so good right!!! i will want to go there again.
on our way back, went to big apple. that was kinda disappointing, we were hoping we could see apple orchard, but it was only a restaurant. so we drove to hamilton for a yum yum satay and rice lunch.
dropped by at pac and save and went home. aaron drove the whole trip. it was nice to just look out of the car and wonder at the beauty of the world and also to be pig and sleep.

cant wait for the next road trip... which would be really soon.
