Journey to NZ - 17th March
We left for Australia on the 17th march 120pm flight and reached Auckland,NZ on the 18th March, 330pm local time.
Our flight route to NZ :
KUL -> MEL -> AUK
Airasia Pacific Blue
We arrived in Melbourne Airport at 1 am midnight after 8 hours flight from LCCT.
The seats in the Airasia X i are not adjustable, so we had to sit up straight.the orientation of the seats in a row is 3 3 3. So i chose to sit at the left most so its easy to get out when i want to use the lavatory. There was a British guy sitting on the window seat.
We pre ordered our food, nasi lemak with a 300ml Spritzer mineral water. The nasi lemak tasted quite bland.
When we got to Melbourne, we have to wait another 8 hours for our flight to NZ. So, we didnt have much to do but to sleep. But it was very cold. We tried sleeping on the steel chairs but in the end we had hot chocolate at the indian coffee house...and tried to get some sleep.
In the morning, we had Mcd breakfast...Mcmuffin breakfast set that comes with coffee.
Our flight was at 10am, another 3.5 hours to get to Auckland.
Everything is smooth sailing and the immigration officer was from malaysia too.
My cousin came to pick us up from the airport. He came with his gf...and li fah noticed that he didnt help us with our luggage..and she thought it was weird...yeah i thot so too but i didnt wanna say anything coz he was kind enough to take time off to fetch us to our backpackers.
He dropped us off somewhere at queen street and we walked all the way uphill to our backpacker at the frienz(http://www.frienz.com) which is located at
27-31 Victoria Street. It is located near Albert park.
We booked a four bedded female dorm which is located on the 3rd floor..
We liked the bathroom with hot shower and also the free internet access. There are 3 computers that we can use on first come first serve basis. Sometimes we waited for more than 40 minutes to use it. Most of the time, the ppl here use it to check facebook. Too bad, internet here is not free. It cost NZD2 for 1 hour usage in the internet cafe.
After we had settle down, we went to walk around the city.Had burger king for dinner...
