We woke up early and went to church in the morning. We went to the Catholic Cathedral in Ferry Road. So happen we were lucky. The mass we went for is a choral mass. The church choir stood above the altar and was singing beautifully and so with so much feel. They were accompanied by the pipe organ. The organist was wonderful. I would love to experience that mass again in future.
After church, we went back to rest for a while then went out for lunch. We had KFC for lunch under my sister's request. It is bout the same in Malaysia but their coleslaw is different for its sweeter and also the whipped potato is called potato and gravy and it doesn't taste as nice as the one in Malaysia.
After lunch, my sister drove us all to Akaroa. It is about an hour and a half drive also. We are heading to the seaside today. Along the way, we saw cows and horses beside sheeps. The road was winding as we have to cross hills to reach the seaside. My dad was hoping we would bypass the winding road if we use the highway but no such luck. I'm thankful our Malaysia highway is straight and the traffic is divided. The view along the way is beautiful. I haven't seen that much green in my life ^_^
We stop a while at the road side to take pictures from high view. It was an excuse for my dad to stop for my sister was driving very fast and my dad was a bit scare. We then continued on and we reach the small town of Akaroa not long after that. There isn't much people there. We collected some sea shells by the beach. After that we drove to the jetty to have a look. There are some cruise companies there. We went in to ask bout the cruise there. It seems that they only have one session a day since it was the start of Spring. My sister bought 2 penguin eggs there to experiment if penguin would come out -_-" I do not know if its real of fake egg.
Since it was getting dark, my dad say we have to leave for the highway doesn't have lights and it is winding. We reach back bout evening and stop by a few Hypermarket. We went in to buy some chocolates which was on sale, bought biscuits which was on sales and can't be found in Malaysia and some other snacks. Besides that, my sister wanted to buy a birthday card to be send to our cousin Janice for her birthday is coming.
After that we went out for dinner at Lucky Restaurant. The food here is wonderful and it is cheapest Chinese food that we had. We had fried dumplings (which is so big), Siew Yoke (roasted pork), Pak Choi and fish with vegetable. The siew yoke was real good. It taste as good as the one in Malaysia. After dinner, me, my sister and my dad went for a walk around. My sister was to fly back to Australia for her weekend was over. She went and buy something to remember her trip to Christchurch. She bought a shaking sheep.
When we reach the hotel lobby, we took a few photos by the fire place which was beautiful. We then help her pack her things to go back. We had a wonderful family holiday. Even it was a short one but we had fun and it was real good to see my sister since she went for student exchange program earlier this year. She would be coming back by November and I can't wait for her to come back.
