Kay people. New Zealand updates for Day 3!Anyway, this photo was taken on during debriefing on I cannot remember which night already. P/s. My photos are a bit disorganized cos it's taken from people all over the place.
So, in the morning after breakfast, we climb onto Mount Maunganui and it was super chuan one lah. Super tiring morning exercise. But the view was superb!

And this is Mrs Hua's daughter.



After that, we came down and walked along the coastline, and to the rocky shores to do activities.





And after that, we had lunch by the shore. And there were lots of seagulls!
Next, we went to Marshall's Farm to see animals! And god damn it. The farm was super huge!
And the scenery was super nice!
So of course, we had a group photo!


Okay. This is supposed to be at the last part. But I will blog about it first. We went to the porthole and very sadly, I dropped my camera there and it spoilt. Damn it man. Sad sad sad. Super sad. It was only the 3rd day lah! So the rest of my photos were koped from other people. Big thank you to you all esp Ahgwee! ♥
And this was at the rocky shores. I have no idea how my photos are so disorganized. Sorry!
And our guide, Alan!







Okay. Back to the farm. So we saw Animals! Haha.

And this is damn cute! The 2nd time I carried it, it was like in a super unglam and obscene position. I forgot who took a picture of it but yah. It was hilarious. 
And this pig is sniffing its nose around all the pooop!

And feeding the animals is fun! Though you get lots of their saliva and sometimes, their poop! Hahaha!








With Mr Tafran and Miss Deepa!
After the Farm visit, we went to explore McLaren Falls Park, where there was this waterfall! And we saw glow worms! :D



Then we came down and did small stream study and exploration. Dint do much there though.And yah. One pic of the porthole before my camera died on me. D:

Reflections that I wrote --
Starting the day off by climbing up Mount Maunganui was indeed a challenging morning exercise! Nevertheless, it was super FUN! The overview of the city was great. Walking along the ocean coastline, at least I learnt something about weathering and erosion. Well, that was the only thing I learnt I guess. It was a lot of exposure to sea creatures and their habitats as well as their way of survival in the sea while we were at the rocky shores. Along the way, the local people that we saw showed great friendliness towards us even though we may not know them. Something that you won't get in Singapore. Lunch by the sea with the seaegulls was fun! Next to Marshall's Farm and getting the chance to feed the animals was a rare chance. The stream study after, getting to see a real waterfall was majestic. The stop by the portholes was nice. But it turned totally bad when I dropped my camera and spoilt it. Totally dampened my mood by a great tad! *Heartbreak*No more pictures for the rest of the trip!D:Labels: ♥ New Zealand. Everything was nice till my camera died.
