New Zealand Trip: Day 6 Mt Cook > Blue Lagoon >Tasman Glacier >Twizel> Wanaka

New Zealand is a peaceful country

especially in south island 

You can't see much people walking around at here

Since it is a must take picture on the road

(as I saw many travellers did that)

so I m took a picture on the road with the mountain too

On the way to Tasman Glacier in this early morning is a great moment to take picture

as NO CAR and NO HUMAN around

Let me tell you,

MT COOK is the best scenery ever among the whole journey in NZ

Mt Cook is a must visit place if you come to NZ

Look at my background,

The view is super great !

Never missed to take Family Picture too

By the way, that day was minus 2 degree celsius only at 7am morning

and we took picture like this in such freezing weather. XD

There is no one else hiking at here except us

Guess was because of too early in the morning

or else was because of the weather was too cold

But we were traveller, time is gold,

so we have to hike following our itinerary

It took 20 minutes of stairs climb to reach Blue Lagoon

I can't see any blue here but the lake was freeze to an ice rink area

and it was green in color.

By the way, never regret to come here as this was our first time experience the lake freeze to ice rink 

and we did stepped on it,

YES IT CRACKED !

Then we continued to climb the stairs

and we realised that we were at super high altitude of the hill that time

I took this picture when I was climbing up the stairs to Tasman Glacier.

Looking back the lake we used to step just now

such an amazing view from the point I stand on.

To reach Tasman Glacier,

it took another 20 minutes to reach the peak point

and yes, we reached.

Let me show my pictures of that day with the amazing background view at Tasman Glacier

forgiving me for posting so much pictures. hehe

Leaving Mt Cook at 10am and heading to Wanaka for our next stay to visit.

I felt so regret that I should stay one more night at Mt Cook 

as Mt Cook is the most beautiful places I have been visited so far in NZ.
The sky was crystal clear that day and no more foggy weather after this 

From Mt Cook to Wanaka took around 2.5 hours of road journey to reach

and we have stopped by at Twizel town to have a quick lunch before we continue our journey

Twizel is a super small town and the population even smaller than Geraldine

I don't understand how the restaurant's gain their profit as there was no customer at all

at this peak hour lunch time 

We have entered a restaurant which selling Thai food and Western food as well

since we miss Asia food,

My mom and I have ordered a bowl of Tomyam soup and a plate of fried rice for sharing

But don't expect the taste can be compared with Malaysia one

as the western people does not eat too spicy 

My aunts ordered Pizza and they said it taste delicious.

well i guessed so, 

pizza always taste the best in western country 

as that is the place where it came from. XD

We even passed by HIGH COUNTRY SALMON

 where they sell salmon fish like supermarket did

and they even serve customer food too like a restaurant did.

The price of the salmon is super cheap indeed.

I mean, you can't find such a cheap price to get a fresh salmon in Malaysia.

The salmon fishes

The cheapest price of a box of salmon inside a tupperware cost NZD8.99

and the tupperware size consider big u know.

Walking through another door is an outdoor area where the lake was full of salmon fishes

They even provide the food for us to let us feed the salmon fishes

and the salmon fishes were too aggressive on competing the food

They even jumped out from the water and we nearly get wet because of them 

Sounds interesting ? and yes it did. 

We even passed by a farm where they feed Alpaca

It is hard to find Alpaca in NZ as we saw sheep and cows repeatedly but not Alpaca.

So we decided to stop our car and took picture with them.

2.5 hours journey is short for us as we kept stop by some areas for sightseeing and photo taking session

We checked in our homestay in Wanaka at about 4pm 

We were like, oh yes, we have our own apartment to stay, yeah !

The apartment is very new indeed, 

the bed is so clean and they even provide heater within each bed 

There was 2 bathrooms, 4 single beds and 1 queen bed in 2 bedrooms, 

The only issue we worry about was the glass door is straight exposed to the main road area

meaning to say, there are no fence for this house, 

outside people can come in just like this straight away if we left the glass panel door open.

LOL

But we believe NZ is a safe country even though we lock the glass panel still XD

Fairway Motel & Hotel

Crn Macpherson Street & SH84, 9305 Wanaka, New Zealand 

Since the receptionist of the apartment told us that there was a market today in Wanaka and will be closing soon at the evening, we drove to the town area and had a visit of this market.

Seriously, it's been quite some days we never see so much people

Wanaka population is consider big as we see humans everywhere at here

and yes this place is quite happening and lovely.

You know, their western market is totally different with what we expected

We always expect market is a place that sells cheap food and vegetables or fruits

But we were wrong when we saw this market. 

They were selling soap, detergent, their handcraft, simple soup set with bread and others,

their price is selling higher than in the shop one, 

the people who queuing to buy is not much either

We had bought bread and soup for sharing,

the bread taste delicious ! 

Waited for around 10 minutes for this bread to be done from the oven

The size is quite large too.

Having my soup to warm up my stomach

Our dinner today is quite awesome too,

chinese traditional pan mee match with salmon and fruits

and wine too !

I fried two eggs for myself as my dinner too as I can't eat the salmon (vegetarian)

fried egg with rosemary herbs and spices

Our living room and kitchen of the apartment

and my lovely uncle too.

Okay, that's how my Day 6 been through in NZ

stay tuned for my Day 7 ya.
