Before proceeding with our New Zealand 🇳🇿 trip , let us revisit & appreciate a quote ..

"'Become friends with people who aren't your age. Hang out with people whose first language isn't the same as yours. Get to know someone who doesn't come from your social class. This is how you see the world. This is how you grow. "What a maturity.. we are all God blessed.. simple , but focused.. mind for others.. seek opportunities & ways to support wellness of everyone .. honest.. thorough in what we do , understand & deliver our daily discussions & actions, vouches these .. Having completed ✔️ 12 days of travel , out of 14 days around southern parts of New Zealand 🇳🇿, our eyes are overwhelmed & filled with greenery.. rich , deep & huge landscapes.. curves & valley.. up & down .. brisk & ready for our next move..

Christchurch & Queensland .. well spread out major cities .. housing buildings on the slopes of beautiful mountains ⛰️.. we have watched raising & setting sun ☀️ from the close ranges.. multiple colours .. doing ‘ hide & seek ‘ games.. inviting our attention & keeping us engaged.. while our car moves around, the brightness, coolness & pleasantness of NZ weather is a delight..

Small small rain 🌧️ drops , here & there .. chilly 🥶 conditions, needing warm clothes.. windy 🌬️ breeze.. covered ears .. coffee ☕️ brings heating within at few spots .. our minds are so alert , ensuring no beauty misses our attention .. we apply sunscreen cream to avoid burning 🥵 because of too much exposure with sun 🌞 & while experiencing delight moments 😋

Google surfing lots of time to choose scenery routes, avoiding highways.. clicks for our memory albums.. google maps were talking & guiding us all the time .. telling us , left & right.. 200 .. 400 meters , like those .. your destination is on the left 😊We have already covered over 3000 KMs & scenery for 2 more days are still left . So much smooth rides.. no policeman 👮‍♂️.. self discipline .. Well groomed trees 🌲 are the boundaries.. lands , getting ready .. matured grains .. harvesting .. practicing economical scales with huge farm equipments ..

Everything on hand & ready.. helicopter 🚁 lands in office backyards & ready to take off .. abundant water 💦 .. no charges.. air conditioner & heaters comforting us ..No morning, afternoon, evening & night have gone without our seeing the huge & noisy changes & happening in the skies, be it sun ☀️ raising or sun-setting . With clear skies, moon 🌙 lights are pleasure to our eyes.While traveling through the spread out valley, sun 🌞 rays & moon particles dances , playing hide & seek games. It brightens the clouds ☁️.. creates lovely shadows .. brings colours at

Climate is so kind . Cool 😎 & sunny. Just come out of winter 🥶, we could spot snow ❄️ spreads in deeper mountains. Landscape is what this country differentiates. Well spread out. Vast . Like chains, mountains 🏔️ in tasteful rows & heights . Some with greenish lawns, small & big trees , Christmas 🌲 like .. huge rocks.. Watching through the car window 🪟 brings heaven.. what a variation.. here, well dressed trees are the compound walls, separating ownership boundaries.. those thicker walls , running like train compartments & huge thickness adds beauty.. it’s shapes , leaves & varieties positions them like ‘ Golu mommai ‘ in those thrilling landscape.To tolerate the extreme weather conditions, sheep 🐑 & cows 🐄 are seen in huge numbers.. milk 🥛 products & ice creams are rich & tasty ..

Across New Zealand 🇳🇿, we could see sheep 🐑 & cows grazing .. enjoying the green 😋 grasses .. it is interesting that animals gets sugar & consequent issues while grazing in early part of the day.. while dry at peaking sun ☀️, sugar goes down the plant 🌱 & leaves don’t passes on sugar 😋What a joy while feeding sheep, calf , rabbits, cooks & hens , alpaca , pigs , ponies .. they eat , picking up food so gently..

Everything is huge. Be it wind 💨.. waterfalls.. chilly weather.. many times, we could not believe that we are so much youthful & flexible.. pull & move that coolly.. water 💦 sports .. kayaking is so challenging & balancing to perfection.. those traveling.. gondolas 🚠.. luge .. tram .. some interesting history.. Christchurch was damaged by earthquakes in 2010 & 2011 .. 185 people died.. 6659 major injuries.. 10,000 homes needed to be rebuilt.. those newly built areas in Christchurch are covered by tram with 18 stops .. it is a jolly ride .. Tour vehicles & coaches are designed in such a way to provide 360 degree view around the surrounding, so that everything we see, watch , assimilate & enjoy 😊 .. click , round the clock. Cruise 🚢 provides so much depth & views while we are on . Snow adventures are winter sports.. now, water 💦 sports.. most of the cars here carries boats 🚤 on it’s top .. people are strong, well built & healthy.. they handles sporting equipments with ease , professionally & fearlessly.. their physic supports .. tall & evenly grown .. brings an element of respect & discipline.. well respecting rules.. hugely friendly.. facilities in our community should shape us too 😋

Road transport is the most sought. Speeding vehicles , those large sizes & numbers while crossing us , shakes ours. .. that was a natural cave .. so thrilling experience.. we are seated in a boat in a group of 10.. complete silence.. Glow Worm 🐛 provides the needed illumination/ lights .. huge sea water falls through the gaps & opening in the corners adds suspense atmosphere..

Tasty eating outlets are so beautifully & noisily crowded & lively .. looking at others, we consumption doubles 😋.. huge screens displays FIFA World Cup matches.. watching the guests ordering, tasting & eating is a great timepass..

Topic should be interesting & varieties.. w could make, looking at their facial expression.. such togetherness & holidays should energize.. we should sit closely.. talking intimately.. exchange ideas .. mutually admiring ..

world 🌎 loves 💕 us .. each of us are lovely 🥰 in our own way.. affectionate .. rarest seen in nature tells us so much .. why such indifference.. discrimination.. we are all children when enjoying joyful nature .. it offers unlimited varieties.. wonders are everywhere.. there is no limit.. it invites & gives us pleasure.. it is universal.. no one could takes them away .. they are permanent .. the quantum of joys rests on how much we could visualise & consume .. makes them our own .. they stands taller & receives us with a pleasant smile 😊

.. those are heavenly thoughts.. spiritual glory.. we should practice yoga to sharpen our absorption.. the care & support amongst visitors & guests are overwhelming..

.. we will be failing in our duty, if we don’t thank our son / daughter & their family, their lovely other half & our grandchildren.. they are so precious.. so sweet, engaging us thoroughly.. while in Hira’s lawns, we watch cute & freedom loving children tries to run away & be their own .. away from parents..

in NZ tour , same kids, now grown up are taking so much care , providing much needed support, making us so much relevant.. seeing us joyful seems to be their ultimate purpose.. balancing their kids on one side & hand-holding us on the other sides is so real .. we are blessed.. thanks 🙏 a lot ..

while telling that we love ❤️ settling amongst beautiful 😻 surrounding, we hear our generation mentioning that with 4 / 5G in place, we could very well stay for couple of months each year, planning & investing from these spots 😊 ..

.. stimulation exercises & AI are becoming common. In Christchurch, we could live for few hours like visiting Atlantic region .. shivering.. but , our experience is unique.. cool 😎.. Julia , with kids seated in the front ..

Pictures & photos, while we revisit tells the fullest story.. let us revisit our clicks.. 🥳
