Yesterday I posted a meme on vacationing, and it brought me such good memories of our New Zealand trip that I went home and began digging for some pictures we took...thought I'd share these with you. Here are some of my favourites (they are not really good shots because we took these from a videocam, and the rest are developed from films but I haven't got the time to scan them and put them all here. Moreover, they are too many!)
It wasn't even summer (it was towards winter season actually), and yet we found these beautiful yellow flowers by the roadside. I asked hubby to snap a picture of them because I don't think I will find them here.
A visit to the Kiwifruit Orchard. You wouldn't believe how excited I was! I was like drooling at those big, fat fruits and wished I could pluck them off the branches just like that. 
This is another symbol of New Zealand - the silver fern. It has a silver-white colouration on the undersides, and the tour guide explained to us that this distinctive silver colour is useful for laying along tracks for night walking. Wow!
One of the natural reserves we visited. Just look at this waterfall! Whoa! Such a majestic view!
This lake is steamingly hot! And I just love the colour.
There are lots of mountains in New Zealand. The sceneries there are breathtakingly beautiful!
Look at the snow. It was extremely windy when we stood on these mountains. But I enjoyed the cold experience because we don't have four seasons here!
This is another great scenic spot. The tour guide told us that some of the scenes from The Lord of the Rings were shot at this place!
Sky Tower, Auckland
Isn't this beautiful? I wish I have a house like that. Over here, we stay in high rise apartments.
