北島遊簡要一

真係好耐無 update，可能你唔想睇咁多字，但喺我都會簡單咁打打我呢排做左咩。

21/01/2008
呢個喺我離開 Auckland 之前嘅一個星期一，同幾個同事一齊請假，諗住約出去玩，行程如下：
中午：飲茶（有冇搞錯！？去酒樓返工仲去飲茶！？）
下午茶時段：唱 K
晚上：食飯
晚飯後：去 Cafe

全日嘅行程都好香港，好城市，不過真喺飲茶搞笑左啲，日日返酒樓，連放假都要去。唱 K 方面，入到去好似香港啲 K 咁，而且啲歌都好新，仲有好多香港無嘅英文同台灣歌，感覺仲好啲，哈哈~唱咗大量香港無嘅五月X歌，而且嗰到炸尤魚好好味，咁大個仔無食過咁新鮮嘅炸尤魚，可惜油左少少。
晚飯就去左食日本拉麵，都喺香港好味啲，不過唔駛食中餐都好好。
而晚飯後就去咗一間由台灣人開嘅 cafe，入面啲嘢又大杯又好飲，仲有好多香港無嘅口味，可惜大家試唔到。

總結：飲飲食食同講講講嘅一日

呢日理論上我應該喺 pack 好自已嘅行李，但係實際上我做左其它更花時間嘅嘢，喺咩？就喺整蘿蔔糕。點解無啦啦會整呢？話說房東知我去咗酒樓打工，跟住就講吓酒酒有咩食，講講吓佢就話啲蘿蔔糕幾好味，跟住佢問我識唔識整，咁識整嘅我無理由呃佢，跟住就約好左得閒教佢整，但係拖拖吓到我走之前一晚都未教佢，見佢咁大條蘿蔔放喺到，我又點好意思就咁走左去。所以我就行李都無點執，就喺到整蘿蔔糕啦。不過由於物資所限，今次嘅蘿蔔糕喺無咁好味，點都好，都叫教左佢，唔知佢會唔會再整呢？

出發往 Whangarei
北島遊出發前最後一個工作天，今日如常返工放工，不過放工後就立即去接 Well 仔同 Den 哥佢地，預備我地嘅北島行。咁耐無見佢地，其實都無咩點變，只係佢地都黑左同頭髮長左，不過一接佢地就收到個壞消息，就喺 Well 仔跌左個水樽，不過由於時間所限，我地都出發去買 Pizza (晚餐），然後返我住嗰到。
好快咁我地食晒嘢，然後我就開始執行李，幾經辛苦，希望工程終於完成，我地成工將幾個人嘅行李同幾個人放左入一架五人車入面，當然架車仲可以開到，不過出發時間比預定遲左半個鐘，我都有啲擔心趕唔趕到去 check in hostel。我地第一站喺去一個名叫 Whangarei　嘅地方，其實我地都喺去訓一晚，跟住第二日就會往北島頂部出發。

經過二百多公里嘅車程，我地趕得到 check in time，大家 check in 完，沖完涼仲有時間相量一吓北島想點玩，利害！不過傾左一陣，我地就去覺覺。

24/01/2008
過左一晚，大家起身食完早餐就要 check out，嚟到 Whangarei，住喺 Whangarei Fall 嘅附近，當然順便去吓，嚟到呢邊去過咁多個瀑布，其實都睇到無咩特別，其實我最想都喺跳入去游水。離開 Whangarei Fall，我哋繼續向北進發，原本打算去一個比影相嘅瑩火蟲洞到參觀，但喺去到，由於過往兩年太多人用閃光燈影相，影响蟲蟲生活，所以經已唔比影，亦都因為咁，我地就離開左洞，去我地嘅中途小休站 - Kawakawa 出發。

Kawakawa 其實喺一個小鎮，出名之處喺一個廁所，連楂車途中都會見到一個寫住 World Famous Toilet 嘅牌，個廁所有幾特別，大家睇吓相就見到。嚟 Kawakawa 除左去廁所，我哋仲食左午飯，由於大家唔想花咁多錢，我地就決定食 Fish and Chips 啦，不過呢到嘅 Fish and Chips 喺出奇地好味，魚味夠之餘又唔會炸過火，薯條亦剛好，而家回想起都算喺其中最好味嘅一間。離開 Kawakawa，我地又跳返入車，向目的地 - Pahia 出發。

Pahia 算喺紐西蘭其中一個最北嘅鎮，到最北嘅旅遊勝地 90 Miles Beach， Cape Reinga 都可以喺 Pahia 出發。我地到達 Pahia 經已約下午四點，喺旅客資訊中心 (i-Site)　訂好晒第二嘅行程，我地就返 Hostel 食晚飯，開設工場預備第二日嘅午餐（芝腿治）同休息。

25/01/2008
由於我地今日嘅行程喺要上午七點四十五分前到達另一個城鎮 Kaitaia，所以我地五點幾就要起身食早餐同離開，經過個多小時車程，我地到達 Kaitaia，去到旅行團集合點等待出發。

今日報咗呢個本地團主要喺去紐西蘭最北嘅幾個地方， Cape Reinga 同 90 miles beach。

Cape Reinga 喺紐西蘭最北嘅一點，其實去都喺為咗到此一遊同影張相，所以都喺唔講咁多。

90 miles beach算喺呢邊最長嘅一個海灘，但喺其實無 90 miles 咁長，只得約 64 miles，點解叫 90 miles？喺因為當年啲大以為自己可以行 30 miles 一日，佢地由頭到尾行完呢個灘要三日，所以以為有 90 miles 咁長。
不過其實去到呢個咁大嘅灘，只能感到一片空虛、寂寞同凍。
除咗以上嘅感覺，其實去 90 miles beach 嘅另一個目的就喺玩滑沙 - 由幾層樓高嘅沙滑落嚟（當然用滑沙板），的確幾喺好玩，但係行上去沙頂的確幾喺辛苦，小弟玩左一共三次，玩完其實成身成面成口成耳總之有得入沙嘅地方都入咗沙。只於小弟玩成點？拍左精彩片段，大家密切留意！

其實去呢兩個地方之前，本地團仲帶咗我地去另一啲地方，當中最特別可算喺 NZD 兩蚊但係超大杯嘅雪糕，有幾大？都喺睇相好。

Sorry for no time to manage them in different album. Enjoy!

大家好嗎？

又喺一個 general 嘅 update，不過今次想講吓去到今日，我對成個 trip 嘅感覺。
好多人話呢到好靚好靚，但係我到而家，去過所謂靚嘅地方，都只係“哦”一聲，其實未有好強烈嘅感覺比到我，可能我去嘅地方未算最靚掛？
到呢一刻，令我感受最深都算喺 farm stay 嗰一個星期，最深刻唔喺環境，而喺農場主人。
主人喺一個德國人，點解移民嚟呢到？其實有好多因素，佢最開頭嚟到係做有機酒，但係今日佢經已變左一個心理醫生（正確名我未肯定喺咩，不過大約喺幫人解決心理上嘅問題）。喺佢身上我學到同人相處可以有更好嘅方法，令大家都開心啲，咁講講好似好空乏，其實喺因為我都未敢好肯定咁打出嚟，我好希望我打完工搵夠錢之後，再有機會去佢到再留多一至兩個星期，再喺佢身上學識點整果醬同點同人相處。
亦都因為呢個經歷，令我覺得其實好可能成個旅程，令我最大得著未必喺大好風光，而喺同唔同人相處嘅時間。身在香港嘅各位朋友，雖然你哋好多人都有 Blog，但喺我實在唔夠時間睇，唔知大家過得點呢？希望大家過得開開心心。

P.S. 我而家整理緊我北島遊嘅 blog，希望精簡化後可以盡快 upload。

Got some problem to upload photos without my laptop and a restricted computer.

Very part of the photos

Vineyard work @ Blenheim

Hey all I've got a vineyard job in Blenheim, what I have to do is cutting off those green grape cannot catch the season, its not a hard job but start everyday from 7:00 am to 1530. I am work with a Kiwi contractor, the best kind of contractor here.
:)
Update later

I am still alive

Dear all, sorry that I didn't update my blog for a long time. I've been travel around the North Island of New Zealand, during the travel period, I've take some nice photos, but here its hard to upload them, I will try to show to you guys later. And now I am in South Island, at a place call Takaka.

Recently I am doing some wwoofing job - doing somework for someone to get meal and sleep, and most of them are organic farm. My wwoofing is not at a large scale organic farm. The owner is not a farmer, but he has his own garden, green house, chicken house and etc. Basically I do anything that can help him, like stacking up fire woods, painting, feeding chicken, fixing computer, fixing electronics stuff etc.

Compare to other farm, here may be quit special as the owner make fruit jam, wine and beer himself. So I am planning to come back to here later to learn how to make fruit wine. :)

This Friday I will go to a place called Blenheim to start a new job. I am not sure what I will do but probably I will work in a vineyard.

Hope I can update my blog more often.

P.S.
Happy Chinese New year for all of you.
