Interesting Places in New Zealand 8 & Visiting Tips

Now back to Auckland
Just spent some time around Auckland before left Auckland.

The environment is so french. No wonder they call it so.
It is open on Saturday 8am - 1.30pm & Sunday 9am-1.30pm
from raw food to plant, everything is here.
But very be careful especially for muslim the food might not be halal.
I saw a turkish (I think) stall. They sell fruits and nuts like olive etc.
I dont buy anything here just have a look around.




Mount Eden is one of famous attraction spot for tourists and locals.
Local people normally jogs around the park.
Speciality about this place is it has crater and it is located at the centre of Auckland city.
From this mount you can see almost the whole Auckland.

Sky Tower at short distance.
You can do bungee jump as well as walk around the ring here.


Queen Street is the centre of Auckland City Centre.
It is like the heart of Auckland City Centre.
Some said this place no longer has the feel of New Zealand.
If in Malaysia it is like Jalan TAR or Bukit Bintang.
It because too many asian here like chinese, korean and japanese.
Well it is true.
Their shops are here and there not only along this road but the whole Auckland City Centre.

If you going straight you will reach the Auckland Harbour.
Hilton Hotel is located there.



Few tips for visiting New Zealand.

1) For those who who is having budget trip, just find out any coupon in any tourist book and pamphlet. You   
    might find one that can be use. Normally it can give your 10-20% off.
2) For Muslim, halal food is very easy to be found here especially in Auckland. It is every where. Just find  
    the halal sign in front of the shop. You can try find local mosque and there will be halal restaurant around 
    there. For other place just find out at Zabihah.com or  FIANZ. But in Taupo there is only one restaurant 
    Best Kebab opposite the Taupo Public Library.
3) Dont book hotel but book motel. Their motel is cheaper but as good as 2-3 star hotel.
4) Dont stay at one place, get there, rent a car and go around the island. A lot of motor home parking in 
    New Zealand especially in tourist destination place.
5) Prior the natural attractions compare to man made attraction place like theme park etc. Lot of natural 
    attraction over ther like river, woods, see, mountain and lakes.
6) If you to shop for grocery Pak n Save is one of the cheapest retail shop.

Have a nice day in New Zealand!
