The Easter hols was here and we went up to visit my bro and his gf in Palmerston North! Wee!~ Weather was so so good that day in Christchurch when we took a bus to the Chch Airport. Thanks Yvonne for lending me your Metro card! Will return it to you soon soon! (Btw, it is much cheaper to bus to the airport if you have a Metro card)
This is a pic of us waiting for the bus.. we were waiting in apprehension for the bus.. didnt know whether we got the right bus stop or the right time since it was a public holiday that day.. so yea.. time to cam whore!!

Arrived at Welly international airport and bro and gf were there to greet us!! All the 4 of us bundled into Laura's new car which my bro calls a taxi.. haha.. The car was pretty good and stable throughout the whole journey from Welly to Palmy North! Way to go! On the way, we stopped at some cool getaway (beach like place)... It was really sunny and fun just hanging out for a couple of minutes over there. Took many pics with my bro's camera as my camera died (aka ran out of battery by that time). So, will wait for my bro to send me the lovely pics of all 4 of us!
As my bro lives in Pammy North, he knows all the awesome places to eat! We went to this Chinese Restaurant called China Town.. We ordered 3 dishes of fish, taro with pork and hot pot tofu with seasonal vegetables. The servings were huge!! All 4 of us barely staggered to finish the food.. but we did in the end! Thumbs up! Price was ok too.. about 20 per person.
We stayed at Civello Motel which is a budget motel.. it was a simple room with 2 single beds and a tv.. with no attached bathroom. It was a pretty simple place but was relatively cheap.. so oh well.. just for 2 nights it was fine! :) Ooo... and their wireless broadband is not wireless at all ! We had to bring the laptop down to the lounge to plug it in to some kinda cable. I think the owner does that to save costs.. hehe.
The next day, went to walk around Palmy North city centre . There were lots of shops having clearance and closing down sales. There was even a Glassons clearance store selling tops as cheap as 5 bucks! And they were good quality stuff too! After wandering around for some time, went to bug my bro and his gf.. haha.. All the 4 of us made pizza from scratch in my bro's studio apartment! It was really fun! Ok fine we didnt make the base but everything else was from scratch! Our pizza was a real success.. we had heaps of toppings such as salami, pineapple, tomato paste, chicken, ham, cheese, capsicums and mushrooms ( from my bro's fridge.. haha)) It was really yum! everyone said so.. not only me! haha.. However, dont know why the pizza was too watery.. ? cause? Later that day, Laura drove back home to Hastings and all 3 of us watched movies on my bro's comp.
After that, went to Masterton to visit Chong! Masterton is a quaint, wee town.. It was so so very quiet! We had dinner together at some Indian restaurant.. cant remember the name.. All 3 of us chose the HOT option! So cool yah.. haha.. Had a good time catching up over dinner and wanted to go for a drink after that but Chong lost her way! hahha.. so we ended up walking home in the dark with Chong planning escape routes if ever anything happened but of course nothing did :) We did put up the night in Chong's flat.. Her landlord was awesome and kind enough to let us stay in her flat. Chong was so nice.. she even made breakfast of eggs, baked beans and toast for us.. Thanks so much Chong!
So after that we left for wellington and walked around before heading to the airport on a very expensive bus ride... it costed 6.50 for onli a 20 min ride. Ya. then took a plane back to christchurch and ya... thats all for now. :) will blog again sooN!! tata
