New Zealand Day 4

Breakfast served at Pear Orchard Lodge was super awesome, although is expensive, at NZD$20 per pax. So we only ordered for 2 pax.


The highlight of the breakfast is the sourdough bread that is home baked, together with their in-house pear jam made from the pears in their orchard. Everything just taste so good. Even the muesli and yogurt also taste so good. 

And we received an update about our luggage, that is the luggage has been located at Sydney airport and will be sent to Wellington airport. That certainly lifted our spirits. 

After breakfast, we explored other parts of Pear Orchard Lodge that we did not explore the previous day, to soak in the sights of the beautiful greenery that you can never get to see in sg. 

This 2 tees that they are wearing were bought from KMart. 


The red house in the middle is our accommodation. 

Yuanze really looks good in this hat. 


After Pear Orchard Lodge, is a long drive to our next destination, Kaikoura. 

We stopped over at Blenheim for lunch at Macdonald and groceries at New World, our favourite supermarket because there are trolleys for kids. 

Thank goodness they napped on the journey from Pear Orchard Lodge to Blenheim. The journey was about 2 hours.
  
They were so happy to see Macdonald. LOL. 

This is the kids' trolley that I mentioned. 

So happy with their trolleys! Check out Yuanyi's smirk. Is like he is saying "I am going to buy more sweets!".


We resumed the drive that will take us 1 hour 40 minutes to reach our Kaikoura Airbnb. 

We stopped by at Karaka lobster to buy lobster. Kaikoura is famous for their fresh seafood. 





The place is quite scenic as well, so we stopped by here for a while to take photos, walk around and for the kids to throw stones. We discovered that they love to throw stones, especially Yuanze who also likes to collect stones as he claims that the stones in NZ look nicer than the ones in Singapore. 

We finally reach our Airbnb, and omg it is such a nice house!

We stayed at the first floor and we have our own privacy, the owner stays at the second floor. 

The master bedroom. 

Bedroom for the two kids. 

The living room, with a smart TV, and the kids are so happy because they can watch youtube. 

This is the highlight of the airbnb. Bathtub that doubles up as a jacuzzi. 

The owner provides us cereal and meusli. 

Provide us bread too. 

Even the wall clock also super atas. 

The kids enjoying themselves in the bathtub. 

Very well-equipped bathroom. 

The lobster bought from Karaka Lobster. NZD$100 for one whole lobster. Yes is expensive but no regrets, because the lobster meat is so fresh and juicy. Fish and chips + seafood chowder bought from Cooper's Catch. 

Fruits that we purchased from New World supermarket this afternoon. 

Yuanze super happy with the stones that he picked. 

That's it for Day 4!
