On the Cruise from Picton ---> Wellington

this is such a huge cruise! i wasnt expecthing something like this at all, there's bar, restaurant, huge family area, 'reclining area' ( area for you to relax and read some books).

the actual size is at least 10000x bigger than this picture

currently they are building cinema and casino in this cruise (another sign that its getting more Asian around the area,sigh..) and the top deck is a open area where you can have some sun-tan and photo session....

this giant ship is so stable that it actual manage to decieve that i am on a land transport. Well, i guess that's because it is cruising REALLY slow.

i think they agreed with me too..

oh, before i got up to the cruise, the train went past Malborough, Blenheim. Then i was told that those unknown plantation is actually wineyard! i cant believe that wineyard can be so beautiful! sadly the grapes are still growing, i am sure the vie would me far more stunding if i come a few months later



i didnt manage to catch the canadian name, but it took me a while to realise why his accent sound so familar to me. OH yes, one of my favourite lecturer Sheila is from Canada too!
back to this giant cruise. there is this 'i-station' machine that give information of NZ famous tourism spots, and the coolest part is that the machine can actually print out voucher! in order to make myself looks more like an Asian tourist (hehe..just finding an excuse to get discount voucher) , i printed out a couple of voucher which includes cheaper deal for skydiving, bungy jumping plus a numbeof x-game. i'm still dwelling whether i should try all this extreme game or not,so i shall keep all the vouchers,hehe.....Oopss, i've totally forgotten t check on the map on how should i walk to the YHA bagpackers. Maybe i should go try and check it on the i-station again,haha.....
