blogged a rather short post yest cuz was super tired.. but now i'm feeling so refreshed!!

juz spent some time lying on the grass outside st david, opposite the clock tower building, basking in the sun!!! the weather was so gd today and we shld have gone to the beach!! oh well.. had lessons until 4 but we left our tut early cuz there wasnt anything to be done.. and i ended up drinking ice choc with ice-cream in the sun!! while tess had her ice coffee with ice cream!! there were many pple enjoying the gd weather too, and there was this half-naked guy juz sun-tanning himself while doing his readings.. it was quite funny.. haha!!

i had always envisioned myself sitting on the grass and enjoying the sun while studying.. and today, i finally had the chance to bask in the sun while listening to music!! oh manz!! wad a wonderful life!! hope the weather will continue to be gd and i can do this more often b4 winter comes!! or before it turns super cold..

more on the otago peninsula trip..



visited the larnach castle which was on top of a hill..the garden was very beautiful and the view from the top of the castle was magnificent!! too bad we couldnt take pictures while in the castle.. budden there wasnt much in the interior anyway.. it was the gardens that was breath-taking =)


view from the top of the castle



shld go back in winter when there's snow!! i believe the gardens will be very beautiful with all the snow too!! the pictures taken in winter tt we saw were seriously amazing.. looking forward to gg there again!! =)

drove to portobello, the small town in otago peninsula.. and it was seriously small.. only had 2 cafes, a mini-mart and mebbe tts all?? the fish and chips from one of the cafe was really gd!! lots of chunky chips and the battered fish was yummy!! the apple shortcake from the other cafe was equally delicious!! had a great lunch there!! anyway.. wouldnt have tried it if my sandwiches werent left in the car of the driver.. haha.. so mebbe its a blessing in disguise?? =p

drove up to the albatross centre to hopefully get a glimpse of the royal albatross.. but too bad we din have a chance to go in.. mebbe the next time.. but we managed to catch 2 sea lions basking in the sun at the coast juz below the albatross centre!! and we were so up close!! jia yih went onto the rocks and was so close to them.. but they were not even afraid of us!! they were juz lazing in the sun.. haha!!


such a lazy one!! =p


posing for a photo =p

drove to allan's beach in the hope of catching a glimpse of the penguins.. but too bad we didnt had a chance to see them.. cuz they only came out at dusk.. haha!! mebbe after the easter trip.. maly and i were discussing tt mebbe we could cycle around the peninsula and mebbe spend a nite at the beach!! and we could catch the penguins in action den!! =)

saw many mehmehs and cattle dotting the hilly landscape.. we were so funny.. kept stopping the car to take pictures of the mehmehs and cattle.. and the roads were so narrow!! we were so amazed that the road can handle 2 cars driving in different directions.. it felt more like a 1 lane road than a 2 way road.. my conclusion was tt NZ drivers are skilled!!

interesting mehmeh photos for my beloved friends who love mehmehs!! haha!!
