Got up early to catch 830 bus to Wanaka. Had a exp continental breakfast for $7 consisting of bread and cereal only. Continential? Hmmm... Feeding my spirit on the bus with some words but was guilty of falling asleep after 2 messages. But God was really sweet to wake me up at 930 coz when I opened my eyes, I was feasted with a beautiful scenary of glacier! So thankful to God. And just as photo taking was either in front or on the other side of the bus, making it more difficult for me to snap, the bus just turn left, letting me to have the beautiful scenary just on my side! Isn't this a testimony of how God loves me?
I used to think that whoever came out with the idea of digitally changing the colours of a picture upon animation is really smart. But today I realise God already created auch effect in nature. With the four season. Trees are green in spring, add on colourful flowers in summer, change to warm yellow and red leaves in autumn and add a dash of white snow in winter. God has painted such beautiful nature for man. Isn't such painting more valuable than work by Monet or Van Gogh? It's totally priceless and available for all mankind to see. That's how much God loves us!
The best is yet to come! Stopped by at Lake Tekapo for lunch break. It's really heaven! Nice turqoise water in front of snow cap mountain. Glad that I grab a lemon merigue at the previous stop over so that I have more time to spend at the lake. Walked all the way to touch the chilling water.don't underestimate the bright sun. It really cold here. I'm blue coat. Sat on the rock, praising and praying to God, thanking Him for such scenic view. And nothing beats a clear blue sky for photo taking. Thank you God. That was definitely one of those heavenly moment in my life. Just God and I. Guess the last time was when I was in WMD many years back. Call out to him and hear a voice saying, "Do it". Yeah, I guess I know what it means. My faith. Amen.
Had a photo stop at Lake Pukaki to view Mount Cook. Beautiful. Thought the name of the lake was abit disturbing. Sounds like someone's name.
Finally reached Wanaka after almost 8 hrs of scenic ride down south. Really small town just next to a big beautiful lake. Checked into Purple Cow but got the booking date wrong. Again thank God there was vacant room at NZ$72. Nice cosy place with really friendly staff as they advertised. Receptionist said she has been to Singapore twice and really love our country. Wow. Checked out some café that serve really local cuisine from some brochure but totally forget the name once on the road. The weather really make me brain freeze. End up in Speight's. A drinking place but the lady at i centre said they serve good local cuisine. Most customers are middle aged pple with quite a homely atmosphere. Should be safe for a beautiful lady like me to enjoy my dinner in peace. Ha. Ordered Drunken Steak. Marinated with their in-house beer. Thought serving will be big but its only the fries and salad. Well, vegetables are expensive here. Saw the other day at Mt Eden that 4 capsicum cost almost NZ$7. So ya, the meal is more worth it with more vegetables then. But one thing for sure, whether Asian or local food, they are all really salty. Can I have more water please?
