New Zealand!

Helloo!
Oon ollut superkiireinen lomalainen, joka ei ole ehtinyt päivitellä tänne kuulumisiaan... Oltiin siis Seenan kanssa Gold Coastin jälkeen Byron Bayssa neljä päivää, mutta sieltä ei kertynyt juurikaan julkaisemisen arvoisia kuvia tällä kertaa :D Byronista tultiin takaisin Coastille yhdeksi yöksi ennen kun napattiin Virgin Australian lentokone ja jatkettiin lomailua Uuden-Seelannin puolella muutaman päivän ajan!

I've been a super busy girl on a vacation and haven't had any time to update the blog... After Gold Coast me and my bestie were in Byron Bay. The few pics I took from there aren't really anything worth publishing. After Byron we came back to GC for one night and then we took off to New Zealand!

The tourist info and our ride to Hobbiton

Such a pretty place

The tree is a fake haha! Peter Jackson didn't like the trees they naturally had in NZ so he decided to make his own ones

All the little details made the place feel so real!

Hobbit holes!

They make the fence look old by putting some mixture made of yoghurt and other food on it

My fav gal <3

We had a tiny bit of a rain in the beginning of the tour but luckily Hobbiton provided everyone a brolly

Sheeps – they're everywhere in NZ!

The most famous of all the Hobbit holes!

The things in front of the Hobbit's hole gave away his trade

Too tall to live in there :(

Where the fireworks happened

mushies

The footpath we took looks just unreal

Love these notes!

The Green Dragon!

We had pints of locally brewed, yammy Apple Cider – that's something you can't buy from anywhere else

I know I already said this, but seriously, look at all these little details!

Hobbitonin jälkeisenä päivänä mentiin Sky Toweriin, maailman 12. korkeimpaan ja eteläisen pallonpuoliskon korkeimpaan rakennukseen. Flunssa oli tehnyt tuloaan jo Gold Coastilla, ja tollon sunnuntaiaamuna se todella iski päälle! Silti sinnikkäästi jatkettiin vielä Sky Towerista keskustaan vähän tutkimaan mestoja. Tosin kaupat piti kiertää kaukaa, sillä kummallakaan ei ollut enää tilillä pahemmin katetta...

On Sunday we visited Sky Tower, the 12th tallest building in the world and the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere. I really caught a flu that morning (and it still hasn't vanished!) but I still decided to hit the down town! Although, we had to keep a distance to all the shops because of the financial situation...

Standing on... nothing! Eeeks!!

This is rare – THEY HAD MY NAME !!!

Queen St

The old Kiwi side of NZ was visible in everywhere

Just like Melbourne the city of Auckland is a mix of old and new

I was sooo excited of seeing the leaves in these amazing colours after missing the Finnish Autumn!

Maanantaina palailtiin tänne Gold Coastille kylmästä Uudesta-Seelannista. Oltiin tänään Dreamworldissa, ja mennään huomenna uudestaan. Sitten illalla suunnataan Brisbaneen ja vien ton neidin lentokentälle... Aika lentää!

We flew back to Gold Coast on Monday. Luckily, it's a bit warmer in here than what it was in NZ. Today we were in Dreamworld and we'll go again tomorrow. Then in the evening I'll drive my gal to the airport already... Time flies!
