2008 紐西蘭北島遊記資料篇

資料篇


 


機票


其實買機票真係幾頭痕嘅事,因為去D Agent到買成日都要叫你等,有時去到最後先可以Confirm咁就會好麻煩,所以我通常買親嘅都係要即時可以Confirm到嘅機票,個D要等嘅通常都係一D團體票,要等D旅行社有位就放出來,無嘅對唔住無位喎 ! 係現今嘅年代重有幾間係網上面可以直接買機票嘅 Agent,不過我就無試過,好 ! 基本上我都係係D Agent同埋D旅行社機票部到問價,最後我係係國泰個網到買機票,因為同出面一樣,重要可以用信用咭找數!

租車篇


紐西蘭真係好多租車公司,價錢相差都幾大下,不過通常平個D都係D車齡比較大嘅車,所以要比較一下先可以租。以我為例,睇D資料同埋問過下人,其實係紐西蘭揸車可以用1300 -1800c .c.嘅車已經好足夠,開頭我係都想租架比較新淨D同埋係1800c.c.嘅車,話晒都想下唔同嘅車架嗎 ! 但係最後我都係租咗架車齡大嘅1800c.c.,一路上都無咩問題,非常之好 ! 兩架車嘅租金相差差不多成$200紐元,所以點解我會揀平個架呢係因為我係網上面不斷咁睇D租車網,有一日俾我睇到佢哋做 Promotion ,我又問咗佢哋攞咗報價喎,有咗個記錄所以就可以用平嘅價錢租車啦 ! 我用咗大約$404紐元租咗成15日車,平均每日都係港幣$130~~~所以真係好抵 !

外幣對換篇


通常好多人都係去銀行到換外幣,但係有時銀行D對換率又唔係好好,所以大家可以去中環一間叫做百年找換店到換,個對換率都幾好 ! 不過呢一間找換店中午嘅時間好多人去換錢,大家可以打電話去訂定換咩貨幣,然後食Lunch嘅時候去攞就會免除咗排隊嘅痛苦 ! 但係其實如果你有外幣戶口的話,其實你可以係個種貨幣個滙率好嘅時候買返D想要嘅貨幣,但係係銀行到買就有一個限制,就係每次都係只可以攞一定嘅數量嘅貨幣出來,要分好多次先可以攞得晒出來

2008 紐西蘭北島遊記第十五日

Day 15 – 10/11/2008



Parnell Inn@Auckland à Ewelme Cottage à Manukau City à Auckland International Airport à Hong Kong



今日係最後一日係紐西蘭,食完個自製早餐之後就 Check Out 去附近嘅地方到兜下,我哋去咗一個係Inn附近嘅古老建築物叫做Ewelme Cottage ,不過原來係早得濟,重未開門喎 ! 睇返D資料話呢個Ewelme Cottage 有係1863-1864時起嘅,嘩~~~距離家下咪有成百幾年,但係都重保存得幾好喎 !




之後就向機場方向行喇,見時間尚早我哋就去咗Manukau City 都行下,其實呢個市我哋第一日來到紐西蘭就行過架啦,去咗市入面個 Westfield Shopping Centre 到行咗陣就去搵油站入油,因為還車嘅時候係要入滿油缸先得架….先前經過見到D油價係貴過現在呢一個,嘩~~真係正 !




D油價又平咗,如果第一日來就咁平就好啦~~~因為預計係機場可能要攪一大輪嘅手續,所以我哋就預早咗到機場。好在真係預早咗,因為個 Airline 話我哋件行李超重要攞返D嘢出來先得,其實我哋件行李只不過係超咗2kg,我哋兩個人係有64kg….點知紐西蘭呢一邊係一件行李計~~~又要開喼攞返D嘢出來之後過海關就比預期嘅順利喎好快就過晒D嘢之後就要去攞返先前買咗嘅戰利品喇….點知等咗好耐都無搵到出來,好在後來Check清楚原來係寫錯收據號碼,最後都攞到,如果唔係真係唔知點攪 ! 之後就入面嘅 DutyFree 到見到有蜜糖買喎..重要係平好多個隻添呀….早知就係呢到買啦不過就有風險就係如果無就真係無囉 ! 最後我哋都買Pack,之後就等上機,我哋係機場入面嘅 Burger King食個 Set 當係Lunch,就咁就完成呢個紐西蘭北島之旅啦 !

2008 紐西蘭北島遊記第十四日

Day 14 – 9/11/2008



Parnell Inn@Auckland à Auckland City Visit à Westfield Downtown à Parnell Village à Dinner@Sky Tower à Parnell Inn@Auckland



住宿 : Parnell Inn@Auckland



今日又係好 Hea 嘅一日,都係係 Auckland City Visit ,由於先前嘅經驗,係紐西蘭嘅商舖有機會係星期日係唔做生意嘅,所以都覺得係無咩可以睇 !


食完早餐之後就去 Gucci 到睇嘢,係紐西蘭嘅 Gucci 又係平過香港,重要有D款係香港未有得買添架…. Gucci 到一睇就睇咗成個幾鐘,本來都未諗住今日買,但係尋日聽 LV sales 講要去機場到先至可以用到 DutyFree嘅價錢買,佢哋運去機場又係要一段時間,所以要買就要今日買喇 ! 正當想買嘅時間,突然諗起重有一間真係 DutyFree 嘅商店係附近,於是就去比較下啦….去到睇款唔夠專門店多,同埋價錢都係一樣,但係就發現另一款嘅袋喇 ! 於是就返返Gucci到睇下有無個款袋喇,睇睇下又發現另一款袋,個sales話係新返款式,嘩~~有人真係睇到愛不釋手啦….最後就買咗兩個袋同一個銀包喇。之後我哋就去 Westfield Downtown到行下同埋食埋個 Lunch,入面個 FoodCourt其實都係同紐西蘭一般嘅FoodCourt一樣,無咩特別嘢食 !



之後就去咗 OK Gift Shop 到買咗D嘢食同埋手信。跟住我哋就返去Inn附近嘅Parnell Village睇睇,唔知係唔係星期日嘅關係,都幾冷清下,睇完就返去 Inn Hea !






大約6點鐘就出去食晚餐,今晚係去Dinner@Sky Tower,原先我哋係Book8:15去食,但係後來諗諗下好似幾夜下喎咪試下早D去睇下有無位囉,點知又有位可以早D食 ! D嘢食嘅種類就唔係好多,但係幾Okay (始終都係香港嘅Buffet正好多呢!) ! 同埋D服務都唔錯,入面有個 Waitress 幫我哋執執下嘢無神神彈咗句廣東話出來問我哋D嘢食得唔得….嚇得我哋話 !







食完嘢我哋又去 Observatory 個層到睇嘢,如果先前係上來食Buffet的話,個晚就唔會上來睇喇可以慳返 !






睇完就返 Inn 到休息同埋要執下D行李啦 !

2008 紐西蘭北島遊記第十三日

Day 13 – 8/11/2008



Parnell Inn@Auckland à La Cigale French style Farmers Market à Parnell Rose Garden à Mission Bay à Michael Joseph Savage Memorial Park (1)(2) à Bastion Point (1) à Kelly Tarlron’s Underater World and Antarctic Encounter à Sylvia Park Shopping Centre à Dress Smart Shopping Centre à Victory Park Market à Auckland Art Gallery à Auckland Museum à Auckland Domain & Winter Garden à Auckland Queen Street Visit à Parnell Inn@Auckland



住宿 : Parnell Inn@Auckland

今日唔洗咁早起身,因為主要係 Auckland 嘅市內遊覽,食完個簡單嘅早餐之後就出發去附近嘅Parnell Rose Garden 到睇玫瑰花,點知兜咗去一個不知名嘅 Flea Market (返到香港搵返資料,原來呢個 Flea Market 叫做 La Cigale French style Farmers Market) ,入面主要係買D自製嘅食品,好似果醬、芝士同有好多唔同嘅食物,重有D家庭用品買,雖然細細地但係不停咁有人來睇嘢。




之後我哋就去睇個 Parnell Rose Garden ,去到泊到成街都係車,幾難先搵到個位泊低架車呀~~~重要行好耐下先到個個Parnell Rose Garden ,行都入去都有D人係到睇緊嘢 ! 重有D人係到整緊D攤位買下D食物同埋一D日用品~~~D玫瑰花都有幾種顏色睇個喎….但係重有D未開晒,開得七成到 !




之後就許租車公司到睇下可唔可以用返係網上面Book個個價錢再租多兩日車,因為原先諗住租車租到今日就會還車,然後就會自遊行,因為之後嘅都係會係市中心都睇嘢,所以原先係無諗住要車,同埋走個日都係用得半日車所以就租到今日就算。但係諗諗下,走嘅時候其實搭車去機場重貴過自己揸車去….同埋可以方便D唔洗攞住見行李四圍行 ! 所以就決定租多兩日喇 ! 去租車公司之前經過油站,就順便入去入下油,然後先去租車公司都績租喇,最後都用返係網上面個價錢租多兩日車,但係就會係機場到先還車喇 ! 之後我哋就去Mission Bay ,係去入油個時見到有D警察係到對面線影快相,而去Mission Bay 條線就係佢哋影快相條 Lane 喇,所以要開正常速度。去到個Mission Bay ,感覺有D似香港嘅淺水灣咁,重要係我哋去呢個時間都有唔少人係到 Hea !




可能係星期六嘅關係呱 ! D紐西蘭人其實D生活都幾寫意,踩下單車,散下步、跑下步~~~完全同香港人好唔同 ! 之後我哋就去Bastion Point,呢個Bastion Point 睇返D歷史,係一個係紐西蘭重係英屬殖民地時候嘅軍事同埋農業嘅重要據點,附近重有一個紀念碑添 !




跟住我哋就去睇一個叫Kelly Tarlron’s Underater World and Antarctic Encounter 嘅水族館,呢個水族館主要係睇企鵝嘅,但係我哋都無咩興趣,加上入場費都唔平,所以係到此一遊算啦 !




之後我哋就去一個叫 Sylvia Park Shopping Centre ,呢一個 Sylvia Park Shopping Centre 其實係一個 Shopping Centre 其實都幾近 Auckland 市中心,一陣間嘅車程就到咗,我哋經過咗呢個 Centre 都唔知道,其實我哋一路沿住Mt. Wellington Road直行,行行下見到有一個幾大嘅建築物,附近重要有好多個停車場喎….於是咪兜入去睇下囉點知原來係到咗喎 ! 泊好車就入去行下,呢個Shopping Centre 都有兩邊,要行晒其實唔洗半個鐘就攪掂 ! 其實紐西蘭嘅嘢真係唔係咁啱我哋鍾意買嘢嘅香港人,因為D款唔係最新同埋價錢真係唔平 ! 係個 Shopping Centre 入面有個 Food Court ,我哋食咗D壽司,然後就走人 !




之後就去搵返尋日搵唔到個個Dress Smart Shopping Centre ,今次我哋再兜多次應該會搵得到,同埋時間比較早就無咁心急,睇完地圖去到個 Dress Smart Shopping Centre 附近都係搵唔到,最後就入油到問下人喇 ! 原來我哋都去到個Dress Smart Shopping Centre 附近,原來呢個Dress Smart Shopping Centre 睇落去根本就唔似一個 Shopping Centre,所以尋日可能我哋經過過唔知都唔定 ! 行咗呢個所謂 Outlet 之後又發覺無嘢買,重要好多嘢都貴過香港添呀 ! 我哋係入面嘅 Subway 到食咗個包




然後就去咗 Victory Park Market 到行,呢個 Victory Park Market 其實都幾近市中心,所以呢泊車又成為一個問題喇,好在附近有D錶位可以泊下咋 ! 入面好多舖頭都係閂咗門嘅~~~都唔知係執咗定係未開門做生意,睇咗一陣就睇完,因為又係無嘢睇嘅 !




 之後我哋諗住去個Auckland Art Gallery ,但係無位泊車,所以就直接去Auckland Museum ,途經呢個 Auckland Art Gallery ,於是就影張相留念下喇 !

去到呢個 Auckland Museum 又係無入去參觀,因為就快夠鐘閂門,我哋唯有係外面影下相啦 ! 之後就去埋附近嘅 Auckland Domain & Winter Garden ,呢個公園都幾多人係到,有D人係到行來行去,又成班人係到踢波 ! 入面重有個叫 Winter Garden嘅溫室,入面都幾多花種咗係到,但係唔係好靚囉 !




然後我哋就返間 Inn 都休息下,Hea 一陣就去返尋日食個間韓式餐廳到食晚餐。

今次叫咗個豬扒飯同海鮮烏冬食,味道真係唔錯呀 !




之後就去咗附近嘅一間 Internet Bar Check Email 同埋要Check-in & Book返個機位先,上到去Check 個機位,唔知係唔係航空公司會幫成客劃機位先嘅呢 ?





但係D位就真係唔係好正喎,劃咗座係中間喎 ! 所以我哋就自己揀過~~~揀窗口位 ! 見時間尚早,於是就去市中心到行下,睇下D LV 同埋 Gucci ~~~但係 Gucci 就閂咗門,唯有睇住 LV 先喇,一睇發覺平過香港喎 ! 但係都要等埋 Gucci …..之後就返 Inn 休息喇~~~

2008 紐西蘭北島遊記第十二日

Day 12 – 7/11/2008



Ash Grove Motel@Haruru Falls à Devonport à Ponsonby Heritage Walk à Lunch@Auckland 壽司店 à Parnell Inn@Auckland à Mt. Eden à One Tree Hill (1) à Cornwall Park à Stardome Observatory à Dinner@KU BICK@Auckland à Auckland City Visit à Sky Tower à Mt. Eden à Parnell Inn@Auckland



住宿 : Parnell Inn@Auckland



今日7:30就出發去 Auckland ,因為想早D到達Auckland 多D時候行下,我哋大約11:30就到咗 Devonport




係個碼頭到行咗一陣,又去附近嘅 i-site 到睇下同埋攞D資料,本來攞完D資料就諗住走人去Auckland,點知睇到有D資料話呢到有D維多利亞式嘅建築物,所以就兜返轉頭,就係咁就睇到呢個區嘅海灣景,成個海灣咁都幾靚架 !




之後就去Auckland Ponsonby Heritage Walk 到兜咗一陣睇下D歷史建築物,其實呢一區都幾多歷史建築物,可能佢係近海岸邊,所以比較多人聚居咗係到。




跟住就去Auckland嘅市中心到兜下,睇下有D咩嘢睇 ! 開頭都幾亂下,因為揸咗咁多日車發覺佢哋D指示牌指示唔係咁清楚,兜完一排就係市中心嘅一間壽司店都買咗D壽司當做 Lunch ! 食完就去搵間住宿嘅Parnell Inn@Auckland 喇,間 Inn 都幾容易搵到….不過就遠離咗市中心都幾多下,揀呢間 Parnell Inn@Auckland係因為有得免費泊車,我哋大約1點鍾就到咗,諗住未有得咁快就可以 Check-in 添,點知又可以俾我哋 Check-in 先喎 ! 整好晒D行裝之後,我哋就去 Mt. Eden到睇下Auckland 市嘅風景喇,呢個Mt. Eden 其實係一個火山口,不過係好耐之前嘅事囉 !




係呢個山頂到居然會有法輪功嘅人係到喎一有人到佢哋就係到派嘢 ! 睇完呢個Mt. Eden ,我哋就去 One Tree Hill,呢個One Tree Hill其實係好耐之前已經係無咗個棵樹架啦個棵樹係俾個毛利人斬斷咗,之後為咗記念就起咗一支石柱喇….係呢個One Tree Hill附近個山都有一個火山口架,似乎呢個係Auckland好多年前都有好多火山爆發過~~~




我哋係到睇呢個One Tree Hill嘅時候其實都幾多遊客到來參觀,重有就係呢個位好大風架~~~之後就去咗附近嘅一個公園叫做Cornwall Park ,呢個公園聲稱有羊、馬、牛之類嘅動物係到,但係我哋淨係見到有D羊係到食草,D羊一見到人行埋去佢哋就會走人 !! 想行過去同佢哋影張相都唔得呀 !




不過佢哋都幾寫意,係個草坡上面一路食一路行….之後我哋就去咗睇一個天文台,叫做 Stardome Observatory,唔知入面有無星睇嘅呢 ? 因為我哋都係係門口到睇下咋 ! 跟住本來想去一個叫做 Dress Smart Shopping Centre ,但係兜來兜去都搵唔到係邊到喎 ! 呢個Dress Smart Shopping Centre 其實係一個 Outlet ….但係搵唔到唯有放棄啦 ! 之後我哋就返去Auckland 嘅市中心睇下有無D咩可以今晚去食嘅呢 ?! 係市中心附近搵到個位泊低之後就睇下附近D食肆。係Auckland 嘅市中心有好多日本同韓國嘅食店,價錢都唔係好貴,但係有D韓國食店就無標個價錢出來,你知啦….無價錢都唔知會收幾多架嗎 !所以有D我哋係無理到嘅但係睇咗咁多發覺好多都係大約$50-60一個人到,本來想去Sky Tower 附近睇下有無嘢食,咁行行見到近Sky Tower 有D車位,所以就去睇下泊唔泊到近一D,就係咁行返轉頭去泊車嘅地方到發現咗一間頭先無留意嘅韓國食店,入面重要有壽司食添呀 ! 我哋叫咗一個飯同一個烏冬食,都唔錯,可以之後反o桌 !




之後我哋就去咗一個叫 Sky City Metro,其實呢一個係一個商場來嘅,入面有個Food Court都有唔少嘢食 !




之後我哋就去咗Sky Tower Cassino 到睇下,入面有大小玩,不過要就要最小$5嘅下注額,重有就係無機玩嘅大細機囉 ! 之後我哋係到登記咗做會員,有汽水同埋有D Discount Coupon送,上去Sky Tower 嘅觀望層只需要$10(原價要$25),平咗成 $15!!!




跟住我哋就緊係上去睇下啦~~~其實呢個觀望層同澳門個個差不多,係上面可以睇到Auckland 嘅夜景,都幾靚下 ! 睇完我哋就去咗食 Buffet 個一層到睇下個 Buffet 要幾多錢一位,原來都唔係好貴,都係 $61 一個人,於是乎,我哋就Book9/11/2008嘅位喇 ! 之後我哋就去咗日頭去過嘅Mt. Eden 到睇下Auckland 嘅夜景,上到去泊滿晒車,好難先搵到個位泊架車




不過當時都幾凍下,但係就無日頭咁大風~~~睇完夜景就返去 Inn 到休息喇~~~
