Day 12 was rainy. We set off and drove straight to the viewpoint of Three Sisters and the Elephant Rock.

Was raining so we set off to the next viewpoint where we could see the elephant.

Thereafter, we continued the journey to another viewpoint, at Te Rewa Rewa Bridge for the Mount Taranaki. The bridge was newly painted, but the Mount Taranaki was missing in action unfortunately.

Expectation.

Reality.

We went on to get brunch at Knead where it is famous for it's donuts. We were too late for other flavours and just got what was left.

We wanted to have a picnic at the park with donuts and coffee but ended up just eating in the car as the weather was wet, and raining on and off.

We came out to explore the Pukekura Park after noming the donuts.

Brooklands Zoo, pretty impressive for a free zoo!

So much space for the Meerkat!

Korea Trip June 2017 Day 0 ~ Asiana Flight OZ752

Back from our much awaited Korea Trip! And having so many (three to be exact) travelogues to go, I decided to work on this Korea trip travelogue first then going back to Bangkok, Switzerland and London since the memory is still fresh and with so many photos which makes it very messy and difficult to tidy up. Else, if it's put on the waiting list, I might only start on it in 2019 haha. So we decided to book the air ticket to Korea in Jun once again when I found that Asiana Airlines had a promo. Paid about SGD750 for round trip plus a domestic flight from Gimpo to Yeosu. Furthermore, having taken Korean Air the last time, we decided to try Asiana (not that Korean Air is not good) and it's also one of the member of Star Alliance. However, think the next time I'll go back with Korean Air again for the better baggage allowance regulation. So this time round, we planned a 14 day trip, one less than the previous trip. We took a redeye flight again (which I prefer since I ...
