Of Freedom and Solitude
Lalalalalalalalz... i'm going to backpack in New Zealand... Yeah man, gonna leave on the 12 of April 2005.. . after the SYF competition... thank god that Emirates have a flight that leaves for Melbourne at 3pm... and the competition time for Springfield Military Band is at 11.45am... And oh boy.. i am sooooo excited about it.. staying in YHA over the country and the best thing is that i get to fly...
EK404 from SIN - MEL...
EK404 from MEL - AKL...
EK407 from CHC - MEL...
EK407 from MEL - SIN
What's so special about flight EK407 is that i get to fly on Emirates A340-500 aircraft... equip with more movies than other aircrafts, better seats and its got those special lighting feature in the cabin to replicate natural lighting at certain times of the day... cool huhz... And becuz the Melbourne Int'l airport's main runway is going under upgrading to suit the requirements of the A380... the 2nd runway is being used for all departing flights... hence becuz of the shorter runway, weight restrictions are imposed on Ultra Long Hual flights, esp. on fuel... therefore EK have to make a stopover in Singapore... If it wasn't for this runway upgrading... the only way to Fly on Emirate's A340-500 is to fly the Dubai - Australia, Dubai - Zurich or Dubai - USA routes...
Well the basis for my trip have already been partially planned but now.. i have to do my planning again... and it's kinda confusing whether to go from the south island to the north island or the other way around... but so far my plan is to go from;
Auckland > Rotorua > Palmerston North > Wellington > Christchurch > Methven > Mt Cook Village > Queenstown > Te Anau > Hanmer Springs > and back to Christchurch for my departure back to Melbourne...
Sigh.. going alone is exciting but it can be kinda lonely especially when you go to those senic sights and do the nature hikes in national parks or forests... The truth is, backpacking will be much more fun if you go with a friend or maybe in a small group of four. Becuz in a pair or group, the experience felt will be better as it's experience as a group and not alone. The feeling that you feel, your friend(s) will also feel the same too and its the sharing or the same feelings that's really worth in friendships. Still... nothing is impossible and nothing is gonna stop me from going.. its gonna be an experience for me and really useful since i've chosen to go to Temasek Poly and study Hospitality and Tourism Management.
