A Trip to Newzealand

This time my visit was to the country of New Zealand. I have dragged my brother and some of my cousin’s with me to this trip at first no one was ready later when they heard the name bay of island they packed up there things faster than me... lol... Well they say that New Zealand is called the cleanest country.... they are absolutely true. I always wanted to visit some islands in New Zealand so I taught why not now.... so I have planned to go to "Bay of Islands" its an amazing place to be... the beach and the sound of the waves.... it was like I was in a different world.... many fear from well so do I... but hey... trying everything is fun... so I gave it a shot of trying skydiving 4000 ft above in the air... droping down at nearly 200km/s its one amazing feeling... and then dropping slowly with the help of the parachute and finally gliding over water and landing.... it's AWSM!!!!...




Hot air balloons... they are indeed one amazing things.... getting up in the air slowly and getting an outstanding view of the ground is one outstanding things... that any one have to see it to feel it and that too if it is over a sea this will be even exiting getting the spectacular view of the land and sea with the sun rays falling on the surface of the water it simply superb.... spending time in hot air balloons is amazing..... After all this excitement had to take a break.... a nice hot bath and enjoyed a delicious meal... near the shore... with the friends and family.



we did get to see some of the seals.... they were amazing... altho a bit funny rolling in the sand... and making all funny noises... but we did have some great time with them.



After all that the next day morning we all went for a boat ride in Taupo the ride was for about half hour... but it was one thrilling experience... going around 50-60km per hour... the twits and turns of the River (Waikato River) it was one amazing feeling... well this wasn’t enough we all went for a Bungy Jumping in Queenstown on the River Kawarau.



Well after getting exited enough take a couple of hours of break and having a nice meal then all of us went for a swim with the dolphins in Akaroa harbor, Well from what I heard that this is the only place where the visitors are allowed to swim with the dolphins. Well playing with the dolphins was fun but, now tasting the wine in Marlborough was there... The sweet taste of Newzealand wine....




Although the Trip was for a couple of weeks... we enjoyed every single moment… Our stay at Auckland city hotel, Pretty good being a 2 start hotel it provide ensuits as in hotels restaurants exotic continental food, and a bit tobby though it was to my cousin’s... Perhaps was our best ever and Memorable one.

A Week in Norway

Norway... I never would have taught that i would be visiting this place... I had my own plans to go some other place near Newzealand... This was planned by my cousins and my bro... They all wanted to spend some nice quality time so they dragged me along with them.... Although I didn’t wanted to go... when we all reached there and seen the beautiful views I did changed my mind.


Cross country skiing... is the best attraction here in Norway… And trust me it is one feeling any one would like to have.... skiing from top of the mountain... Skiing in Rondane and in Venabu... After playing in the snow was finished... we left to fjords... the breathtaking views of fjords is simply mind blowing... Glacial melting is also accompanied by a rebound in the earth's crust as the ice load is removed. well all had fun playing in the lake Loenvatnet in stryn. It’s a fresh water lake... so there was no need to worry that any one getting ill.



After that we all went for Kayaking in the Geirangerfjord. It takes a lot of muscle power to pull that kayak. Just few inches from the water it’s an amazing experience. When finished with the kayaking all went for a scuba diving in Lake






Lygnstøylsvatnet when I was there swimming underwater.... it was like I was in a different world. It’s an amazing view when you come close to a fish, crab, or any other animal it's one experience that any one has to do it to feel it.







And now its time for hiking... although they didn’t allow us to go up to much extent but yes we did go pretty far... it was the time of winter... although we didn’t get see the polar bear but we got to see the Musk ox, reindeer and grouse.





Hunting the grouse was fun, when everything was done... it was the time for freshwater fishing.... guss trout fish was mostly in common... all of caught one for each of them, and it weighed amazingly heavy..... We did a few other things... like Mountain climbing and ice climbing, river rafting... and finally the National parks... It was fun and exiting all this made me do a lot to work out....




Norway
This is the were I have made my accommodation from…
