Tui (native Nz bird).. Very unique vocalisation with clicks and wheezing sounds...
Aotearoa is a Maori word which means the 'land of the long white cloud'. Exactly a year ago, we arrive Perth, Australia. And today we are here at
Auckland, New Zealand! Peter's cousin came to the airport to fetch us
back to his house. We had no problem passing the custom and quarantine
restrictions. It was really nice of George and his gf Melinda, giving us
a warm house to stay while we arrange to buy a campervan in Auckland.
Spring flowers blooming all around Auckland =)
Our first day in Auckland, headed to McDonalds to try out their NZ LAMB burger. It's huge!! And yummy.. The frozen coke did not taste as good as we thought.. =P

However we got no chance to try the train because bus is cheaper and more convenient for us.

Finally we can have a great dinner together with Lim family in Auckland, we feel so glad to meet Anson and Rosie for the first time that night. That dinner was awesome as we are having 'Poon Choi' which need to be booked in advance and this is probably the best chinese meal P&A have since we left Malaysia.
Hearty Poon Choi with abalone, prawns, sea cucumber, duck and roast pork!

A smartie, knows how to dance Gangnam style and eats lemon!
A healthy breakfast prepared by Melinda.. Rolled oats in yogurt with apple and Goji berries =)
