New Year eve@Thames to Auckland

The wave musical of Thames~~ If you see what I mean... It's there, right there, on the left! Right?!

We are making our way back to Auckland already??! Another 90minutes drive and we get to see the most populated city of NZ.. Again..We want to celebrate New Year in Auckland, with Pete's relatives..

 Pie time @ Thames

A detour from our route to this farm cafe (unfortunately, we can't remember the name of this cafe), which we were attracted to cause they are serving Lala Coffee, a roastery in the Coromandel Peninsular here. I'd really like to get a taste of this boutique roaster's coffee.. Good thing they are selling Lala coffee beans in bags too, I can get some home now! We saw many cafes serving Lala in the peninsular.. Quite renowned around here.. It's quite good with a strong body.. 

LaLaLaLa~~

Lovely birds in this cafe/farm...

After the coffee time, we drove straight back to Pete's Uncle's house, yay, free stay there for few nights =)

 That huge yellow light at the center is not from spotlight but it is a REAL full moon....  Beautiful~~ It's New Year Eve, and we are in Auckland to countdown..

Sky Tower Fireworks @ Happy New Year 2013!!

Enjoying our first NEW YEAR eve in the most southern country we've been to =) This picture is the best of the fireworks to be honest and we are lucky to capture this! Hehe... And it's so windy, lucky they didn't cancel the fireworks!

Certainly the most crowded place in NZ ever!
