jesslove :): Auckland Trip Part I

Alrighty! I seriously have an urge to blog nownownow. Back from Auckland last evening, and Auckland is fantastic! So much warmer than Dunedin, busy busy busy, buzzling with flashy cars and towered by so many buildings. This is so different from plain ol' Dunedin. Okay, let the pictures speak!

On the day we arrived at Auckland, it was raining!! Horrible weather! But after the first day, the weather was all gooood.

We visited the University of Auckland the next day. The campus ain't bigger than University of Otago.. Hohoho. Now I'm proud of my uni. LOL! But despite that, the school's still nice.. Didn't wander around too much as we had more to do that day.

Went to this Asian food court along Queen Street (something like Orchard Road in Singapore) and had the most disgusting cassarole (claypot rice) ever in my life!! Didn't show it here tho. Haha. But the bubble tea is yummy! My taro bubble tea was purple in colour! Hahaha.

My taro 珍珠奶茶 !

Walked around Victoria Park Market too!

We then drove to a place called Bees Online. We thought we could see a bee farm or something, but it was just a small cafe with see bees trapped in see through containers.

Damn it lah, I couldn't find the queen bee! -pouts-

Then we continued driving and saw a vineyard. So we drove in!

Apparently this vineyard is famous for its super yummy wine. However Ben's parents thought the wine must be really expensive, so we didn't get any.. Aww..
