Leaving Auckland and Balik Kampung, Malaysia

The day before leaving Auckland, what we are going to do on the last day, no more touring here and there, we just relax at the city, trying the cheap eat that highly recommended by Peter's Aunt, lobster and steak meal at the Auckland Tower (Casino). Then we meet up with Balz and Jenny again for some drink before dinner.

Our last dinner at Auckland, no more budget constraint, just go for the best one, we pick a 'looks nice' western restaurant next to the Auckland pier, then we only realized that the chef is actually a Chinese, haha.. but the food tasted great. Having a great chit chat time with our friends but the feeling of leaving is kind of weird but exciting as well because we are going to back to our Home after 16 months of travelling, we have never left home for such  long time...


Finally, we are in airport, big THANK YOU to Peter's uncle and aunt who send us to airport, we truly have a great stay in Auckland which is much better than our tent and Kiwi zai. Btw, PEte, you really need to get a hair cut as soon as you land! LOL

Good Bye, NEW ZEALAND!!!
Wow, the very last look of NZ for now =) Totally amazing, makes you miss this dreamland so soon! 

What can we say, the 16 months of adventure have been so so SO great, one chapter of life completed, full of adventures and many 'FIRST times' of our life.. First time buy car oversea, first waitress job, first morning cook job, first housekeeping, first fruit picking, first multi day hiking, first diving, first hitch hiking, first time jamming in jungle, first Xmas overseas, first caravaning, first time burning (almost) people's shed, first volunteering job, first wind blown tent till cannot sleep night, first time fishing, first time almost death cause of rip current, first time skiing, first time boat cruise, first time sailing, first swim with sealion/dolphins, first black water rafting, first crabbing and the list goes on... =) 

Truly unforgettable.. Well, now we have our own stories to tell when we are old.. To those that have been wishing to backpack travel for as long as they wanted, so what are you waiting for?? =D
