ASDFGHJKL there was another new zealand ‘geography’ question in the latest trivial pursuit, and jeremy pronounced dunedin like “doon-din” (as opposed to “duhn-ee-din”) and it both pains and pleases me 😂

I visited Christchuch once; I went to New Zealand for two weeks and had a dinky little car that took me all over the North and South Islands, though mostly I lingered in the South, driving aimlessly for the most part. This was in the heady days before GPS or smartphones so it was me and a map and a cassette (remember those, kiddos?) of Norah Jones, wandering around.
I almost skipped Christchurch; there wasn’t much in the guidebook about it, nothing particularly noteworthy. And in truth I can’t remember very much about the city itself; a few nice stone buildings, a particular street that I can clearly visualize in my head but have no idea what its name is, that’s about it.
In fact, I’ve almost forgotten stopping to get some gas and (even though I’d already done it before) not quite understanding how the process should work there. And a very cheerful couple filling up next to me helped me out and joked about how I had definitely taken a wrong turn somewhere to end up in New Zealand, of all places! 
But last night I remembered them; the woman’s bright blue hijab causing her some problems in the wind, the way neither of our accents were like the ones around us. I don’t know their names and I’ll never know if they’re all right; but I suspect they aren’t.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is urging people to remember the names of those who have fallen, and never utter the name of the person who killed them. She spoke powerful words as she led the condolences for the Christchurch terrorist attack victims in Parliament today. Jacinda Ardern has shown compassion & she deserves total respect for the way she has dealt with the aftermath of the attacks. Jacinda Ardern is a true leader 👌 #NewZealandShooting #nzshooting #newzealand #ChristChurchMosqueAttack #Christchuch https://www.instagram.com/p/BvOQx_bnOsU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l1gthlelz8sl

PLEASE WRITE PACIFIC RIM SYMMARAH!!
Lotus Fury was Satya’s baby, her passion project, her magnum opus, and it was nearly scrapped and cannibalized for other Jaeger projects.
Too much experimental tech, they said, too complicated to pilot, too flimsy in comparison to other Jaegers, and most damning of all, was a rumor had started among the candidate pool that its drift didn’t seem to work like any other Jaegers. Pair after pair desynchronized, some chasing the rabbit, unable to maintain a stable drift with each other while interfacing with the Lotus. 
Only one candidate could maintain herself in the drift, and that was Fareeha Amari, but her drift partner, her mother Ana, chased the rabbit into a traumatic memory, and both stated they would ‘never get in that thing again.’
Lotus Fury was a dancer, a warrior, an artist, an olympian. She was grace and desperation, rage and tranquility, and ultimately, balance... for those who knew how to use her. Hard-light shield, photon hook whip, shoulder, chest, and wrist mounted missiles, all fitted on a remarkably slim frame with the most advanced gyroscopics ever put on any Jaeger. Satya wondered if anyone would ever see what she saw in it.
Then the Rift spewed forth a simultaneous destroyer and salvation–a category four, codenamed “Scylla.” The Jaeger Ryu Whiskey had been sent out to stop it from making landfall in Christchuch, New Zealand. The battle had been waging for hours, and things were not going well. 
“They’re going to die,” one technician murmured next to Satya in the mess hall as all eyes were glued to the screen. Satya didn’t finish her lunch. She took a brisk walk through the Auckland shatterdome to where Lotus Fury was all bound up in clamps and cables, and hastily crossed the catwalk toward the head of the jaeger.
“You can’t pilot it alone,” a voice came from behind her and she stopped.
She turned on her heel to see Fareeha Amari several feet away on the catwalk.
“…Thought someone who builds these things would know that much,” Fareeha added a bit more quietly.
“I built her. I can bypass it,” said Satya, turning on her heel and continuing to walk to the Jaeger, “She’s smaller than most Jaegers. Should take longer for the neural load to kill me. Enough time to make it count.” 
“W-wait, are you serious!?” Fareeha hurried after her, “Even if the strain doesn’t kill you, that Kaiju will! Ryu Whiskey’s had 8 successful drops, the record fastest takedown on a category 3, and it’s getting its ass handed to it out there!”
“So it needs backup,” said Satya, entering several security bypass codes to enter the pilot lockers. She started putting on the circuitry suit.
“You’re insane,” said Fareeha.
“Insanity is standing around and doing nothing while that Kaiju gets closer and closer to Christchurch,” said Satya, putting on armor before turning around, “…would you mind….?” she held up the magnetic interface for the spine.
“I’m not letting you do this,” said Fareeha, “You’re a Jaeger architect, not a pilot.”
“39 successful drops in simulations,” said Satya, circling her wrist in her drivesuit gauntlet. “The problem isn’t Lotus Fury, the problem is the pilots.”
“What makes you so sure there’s nothing wrong with your design?” said Fareeha.
Satya held a spare drivesuit helmet out to Fareeha. “Do you want me to prove it to you?” she asked. 
“What makes you think we’re drift compatible?” said Fareeha.
“You’ve followed me, you’ve argued with me, the simplest solution would be to call security on me to keep me from getting in that Jaeger, but you haven’t. Just as much a fight as a conversation. We aren’t exactly wielding bo staffs, but isn’t that how you pilots determine these things?”
Fareeha opened her moth for a rebuttal, then closed it, then took the helmet.
“Just to get Ryu Whiskey out of that mess,” said Fareeha.
“Of course,” said Satya.
—–
For Fareeha, drifting with Satya wasn’t like drifting with her mother, there was no venn diagram of memories, but two paths laid in parallel. There were images of a crowded street and so much terrible noise and filth—so much filth–how could a collective mass of people like this stand it—Then there were books, sanctuary, order. Creation as control. Then Kaijus attacking. The world needed builders. Fareeha’s memories rushed on Satya like a storm, then eventually had the sensation of wind around her, not overwhelming, but a feature of her environment. A mother’s embrace, the smells of kushari and sweat and gunpowder, the impact of fist on punching bag, arguments, orders being barked in her face, post-attack memorials. And god there was Lotus Fury herself. Pharah only felt something like what Satya felt for the Lotus when experiencing her own mother’s memories of holding an infant Fareeha in her arms. Their memories converged on one image, a pair of small hands wrapped around a candle. Neither of them could really recall whose memory it was before they surfaced from the rush of memories to the sound of a computerized voice announcing, “Neural Handshake successful.”
Satya and Fareeha made eye contact with each other, then both brought their hands up, balled one hand in a fist, and punched the palm of their other hand, wrapping the fingers of the Jaeger around its fist. A voice came over the intercom in a roar outside their Jaeger.
“This is Commander Morrison. Neither of you are authorized to pilot that Jaeger. Return to your posts immediately.
“All due respect sir, but Christchurch is in danger and Shimada and McCree need our help,” said Fareeha.
“Amari!?” Morrison spoke, “I thought you said you were never getting in that thing again!”
“Not a lot of room for ‘Nevers’ in the apocalypse, sir,” said Fareeha.
There was a pause on the other line. “You’ve got a stable drift?” said Morrison.
In perfect sync, Satya and Pharah brought up Lotus Fury’s hard-light shield and angled it in front of the Jaeger.
“Perfect harmony,” said Satya.
Morrison let out a weary exhale. “I’ll get the transports prepped,” he said, “Best of luck out there.”
“We’ve got thoracic and epaxial hull breaches! Right arm is dead!” McCree shouted over the comms as Ryu Whiskey fired several plasma charges onto the charging Kaiju with its one viable arm. The cockpit of the Jaeger was a mess of sparks and alarms and screens blaring red warnings. McCree’s armor painfully sparked along his neck and shoulder. “Han! Any time you wanna wake up from that nap of yours would be fine with me!” 
Hanzo was unconscious, a trickle of blood visible through the visor of his helmet as he hung limply suspended by the the Jaeger’s spinal interface.
“Left Hemisphere pilot is still unresponsive,” said McCree, his voice hollow.
“Remain calm, McCree, Shimada’s vitals are still stable,” Morrison spoke over the comms, “We’re sending in your backup now.”
“I thought Seraph Retsu was still under repairs!” said McCree.
“It’s not Seraph Retsu,” said Morrison.
“Say what now?” said McCree. The Kaiju, only briefly slowed by the plasma blasts, leapt at Ryu Whiskey and McCree raised the Jaeger’s one remaining arm and braced for impact.
Except the impact never came. Scylla made a choking sound, a glowing bright blue chord wrapped and burning around its thick neck. The kaiju opened its squid-like beak in a half-choked scream and McCree saw that the blue chord was attached to the hand of a narrow-framed cerulean Jaeger.
“What in the goddamn…?” McCree started when the cerulean Jaeger yanked back and on its plasma whip and hauled the kaiju off its feet before punching the kaiju in the face and firing a wrist mounted missile into the Kaiju’s head at the same time. Scylla fell, kaiju blue staining the water around both jaegers.
“Lotus Fury, reporting,” Fareeha and Symmetra spoke at the same time over the comms as the cerulean jaeger waved at a worse-for-wear Ryu Whiskey.
“…to be fair we softened it up for you,” said McCree.

Spending 13 days in Middle Earth, New Zealand
Tumblr media
Akhirnya waktu yang di tunggu-tunggu datang juga, yaaa waktunya liburannn!!! Setelah berhasil mengurungkan niat, tekat dan juga hasil tabungan selama 14 bulan, FINALLY semesta mengaminkan doa-doa saya untuk pergi ke New Zealand.
Rasanya kebayar banget ngumpulin uang selama itu dan berhasil untuk discover south island of New Zealand. Masalah keindahan alamnya gaperlu di ragukan lagilah ya. One word in my mind about NZ “Spectacular”.
Keberangkatan kali ini saya ambil pada waktu NZ masih masuk pada summer season, so waktu matahari tenggelam cukup panjang. To be honest selama di sana suhu udara rata-rata itu 16-18 derajat, tetapi ada beberapa spot seperti di Milford Sound, Franz Josef dan Mt. Cook suhu udaranya bisa mencapai 4 derajat. Suhu udara yang dingin di south island ini karena letak geografinya yang dekat dengan Antartika ternyata.
Berawal dari iseng-iseng check tiket ke NZ dan akhirnya dapet juga harga yang cocok, yaitu 4jt flight Jakarta to Auckland dengan Air Asia pada bulan Februari di tanggal 21. Dan memesan tiket pulang menggunakan Qantas flight via Christchurch to Jakarta pada tanggal 5 Maret dengan harga $856 sudah include baggage 30kg, untuk kurs NZ$1 itu sekitar Rp 9.500an pada waktu itu. Dan memesan tiket domestik Auckland to Christchuch di tanggal 22 februari dengan harga 650rb sudah include baggage 20kg menggunakan jetstar. Saya memutuskan untuk menghabiskan 13 hari untuk menikmati alam New Zealand.
Setelah membeli tiket PP di bulan Januari, minggu depan nya saya langsung mengurus visa ke NZ dengan menggunakan jasa Dwidaya tour dengan harga 2,2jt. Visa akan cepat diproses apabila berkas yang kita berikan lengkap, hanya membutuhkan 8-10 hari maka visa sudah ditangan.
Jadi hal yang perlu disiapkan pertama kali untuk pergi mengunjungi New Zealand yaitu passport, tiket PP dan juga visa. Untuk akomodasi yang saya gunakan disana yaitu dengan jasa bus yg dikelola oleh Planit Nz. Selain biaya untuk bus selama 8 hari, saya juga mengambil trip ke Milford sound dan heli hike di Franz Josef menggunakan Planit Nz, keuntungan yang saya dapatkan dengan menggunakan Planit Nz harga yang diberikan sedikit menghemat kantong saya. Untuk harga bus nya saja selama 8 hari dikenakan $695, untuk heli hike to Franz Josef $409 dan Milford sound trip $125.
Trip kali ini ternyata saya tidak jadi solo travelling,ternyata teman kecil saya yang bernama Gessya yang akrab dipanggil gaz akhirnya ikut juga di perjalanan kali ini. Sebelumnya kami sudah pernah melakukan perjalanan bersama ke daerah Sulawesi Selatan dan akhirnya kami mendapatkan kesempatan untuk discover NZ bersama lagi. Kami ber2 sepakat untuk bertemu dan memulai perjalanan dari Christchurch, jadi saya berangkat dari Jakarta dan gaz berangkat dari Sydney.
Day 1, 21 February 2017
Perjalanan pertama saya untuk berangkat sendiri ke luar negeri akan segera dimulai , super excited for it. Di mulai di bandara Soetta pada jam 3 siang, kemudian transit 5 jam di Malaysia lalu lanjut lagi night flight ke Gold coast Aussie dan lanjut ke Auckland. Karena ternyata tiket promo yang saya gunakan rute penerbangannya itu dari Jakarta-Malaysia-Gold Coast-Auckland.
Tumblr media
Day 2, 22 February 2017
Akhirnya sampai juga di Auckland pada pukul 04.30 pm ternyata perjalanan belum selesai saya harus melanjutkan perjalanan saya menuju Christchurch 1x penerbangan lagi menggunakan jetstar. Meskipun hampir hopeless buat ngejar domestic flight menuju Christchurch akhirnya saya berhasil untuk tidak membeli penerbangan baru karena masih diberikan kesempatan untuk check in. *tips penting agar tidak tertinggal pesawat berikutnya di hari yang sama sebaiknya perlu untuk spare time approx 4 hours or more.
Tumblr media
Sampai juga di CHC ( Christchurch ) ga nyangka ternyata bandara di sini super duper sepi entah karena sudah jam 9pm atau memang kota ini memang sepi penduduk. At least waktu keluar bandara udah di sambut sama sunset dari langit Nz. Kemudian saya langsung menuju hostel Urbanz dimana gaz sudah menunggu saya disana. Dari bandara menuju penginapan saya menggunakan supershuttle bus dengan harga $24. Sesampai nya di Urbanz kami ber2 mencari makan malam di sekitar hostel. Untuk biaya hostel di Urbanz sebesar $40 untuk 2 malam per orangnya.
Day 3, 23 February 2017
Perjalanan hari ke 3 ini saya memutuskan untuk mencoba meng-explore kota Christchurch. Pagi ini kami ber-2 berencana untuk breakfast di salah satu tempat makan setelah itu berencana untuk melihat gereja yang pernah menjadi tempat shooting Harry Potter yang sudah hancur karena gempa bumi yang hebat pada tahun 2011 dan setelah itu lanjut ke Christchurch gallery. Untuk masuk ke Christchurch gallery ini free.
“Lokasi gereja di pusat kota”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Christchuch Gallery”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Setelah itu destinasi berikutnya kami menuju Christchurch Gondola. Dan lagi-lagi view nya never disappointed us, karena pemandangan nya bukit-bukit, danau yang sangat indah dan juga banyak sekali domba. Rasa nya betah untuk berlama-lama di tempat ini karena view nya sangat memukau sekali.
“Christchurch Gondola”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lalu sekitar jam 5 kami ber-2 sudah sampai lagi di kota Cristchurch. Kali ini giliran perut saya yang mulai kelaparan dan akhirnya memutuskan untuk makan di Mexico Restaurant yang letaknya dekat sekali dari tempat penginapan. 
Setelah itu malam nya kami lanjut packing karena besok pagi akan pergi menuju ke Franz Josef glacier menggunakan bus yang dikelola oleh Planit Nz. Kami ber-2 berencana untuk membeli beberapa snack & makanan yang bisa kami makan untuk breakfast besok pagi. Selain itu saya juga membeli nz travel sim yaitu vodafon ternyata agak shock quota disana mahal sekali haha (maklum mahasiswa) akhirnya saya membeli simcard dengan quota 3,5gb dengan harga NZ$50 kalo di rupiah in itu sekitar hampir 500 rb. Dan untuk membeli quota 1gb yaitu $20. Dan ternyata selama di sana saya membeli 2gb lagi. Hmmm beli quota aja udah nguras kantong hahaha.
Day 4, 24 February 2017
Hari ini waktunya kami akan memulai meng-explore South Island dengan tujuan pertama yaitu Franz Josef. Kami ber-2 janjian dengan pihak stray bus pada jam 8 am, karena kami tidur terlalu malam akhirnya kami kesiangan dan untungnya saat sampai di Christchurch Main bus Exchange mobilnya masih belum datang. Perjalanan pun di mulai dengan tujuan ke Greymouth. Sepanjang perjalanan mata saya benar-benar dimanjakan oleh pemandangan alam yang betul-betul tidak pernah saya bayangkan. Gunung yang membentang sangat indah juga hewan-hewan ternak yang sangat banyak sekali, tanpa ada 1 bangunan di sepanjang perjalanan tersebut. Hampir 3 jam mata ini di manjakan oleh ke indahan alam dari New Zealand sampai-sampai mata ini tidak ingin menutup mata alias tidur. 
Tumblr media
Setelah menempuh perjalanan sekitar 3 jam akhirnya mobil travel berhenti disalah satu tempat dimana terdapat restaurant, toilet umum, juga tempat penginapan. Dan sempat mengabadikan moment disana, yaitu berfoto.
Tumblr media
Kami diberikan waktu isitirahat sekitar 30 menit, lalu melanjutkan perjalanan lagi sekitar 1 jam untuk pindah kendaraan dari mobil travel menuju bus. Sebetulnya mobil travel ini hanya mengantar kan kami ber-2 sampai bertemu dengan stray bus bukan mengantarkan kami sampai ke Franz Josef. 
Perjalanan menggunakan bus pun dimulai hampir sekitar 2 jam perjalanan menuju ke Franz Josef, di dalam bus stray ini banyak sekali traveler mancanegara dan hampir tidak menemukan wajah orang Asia sama sekali haha.
Sesampai nya di Franz Josef kami langsung mem-booking travel trip untuk heli-hike di gunung tersebut, dan mendengarkan beberapa pengarahan yang diberikan oleh petugas. Lalu kami langsung meletakan barang ke penginapan, dan harga penginapan nya itu sebesar $25 per person dengan 1 ruang kamar di isi oleh 4 orang, kami ber-2 pun akan menginap disini selama 2 malam. Setelah selesai mengurus penginapan kami langsung jalan-jalan disekitar untuk mengambil gambar. Sore itu langit sangat cerah dan banyak melihat helicopter yang sedang berlalu lalang.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Setelah melakukan sedikit perjalanan, akhirnya perut mulai terasa lapar. Dan memutuskan untuk membeli bahan makanan dan juga snack lalu memasaknya di penginapan. Tujuan nya untuk save money karena kami hanya ingin makanan di luar yaitu  pada saat berada di Christchurch dan Queenstown saja. Dan dengan memasak sendiri jauh lebih hemat dibandingkan dengan memakan makanan di luar, ya kira-kira bisa menghemat sekitar $60 yaa sekitar (600rb).
Day 5, 25 February 2017
Sudah 5 hari saja saya tinggal di negara orang nampaknya tidak terasa. Pagi ini saya bangun pagi sekali yaitu sekitar jam 6.30 am mungkin karena sudah terbiasa bangun pagi untuk berangkat ke kampus dan sangat excited untuk naik helicopter sambil hiking di gunung ice. Saat membuka pintu kamar ternyata langit sedang bersedih alias mendung dan juga berawan. Berharap pada saat itu langit mulai cerah di jam 10 am karena saya dan gaz mendapat giliran itu pada jam 11 am. Setelah selesai sarapan dan kami melakukan perjalanan ke hutan di dekat penginapan, tujuan nya untuk mencari alternatif lain jika kami batal untuk mengikuti heli-hike trip . 
“Tarate Tunnels, Callery Gorge”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dan waktu pun tak terasa kami sudah berjalan di hutan sekitar 1,5 jam. Dan langit masih berawan, sehingga kami gagal untuk heli-hike mungkin belum rejeki atau harus datang kembali ke sini suatu saat nanti. Ternyata jadwal kami untuk heli-hike sudah di cancel dan kami mencari another activity, yaitu Valley walk dan tidak perlu khawatir karena perjalanan ini terdapat 1 guide yang akan mengantarkan rombongan sampai bertemu glacier dan memberikan panduan berupa informasi-informasi penting selama hiking. Untuk biaya nya yaitu $125 (1juta 250 rb), dan kami tinggal memotong biayanya dari heli hike, untuk biaya heli hike sendiri yaitu $409 kami mendapat harga tersebut karena menggunakan   trip bus dari Plantit NZ karena harga aslinya itu $450. 
“Franz Josef Glacier Valley Walk”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Setelah selesai hunting foto dan juga hiking 2x hari ini, kami memutuskan untuk makan di restaurant dekat penginapan. Dan membersihkan diri,lalu packing karena besok kami sudah pindah tempat lagi dan lanjut tidur.
Day 6, 26 February 2017
Horeee lanjut lagi hari ini ke Wanaka, setelah rapih-rapih dan juga breakfast kami tinggal menunggu bus nya datang. Bus nya datang tepat waktu pada jam 8 am, sedih rasa nya saat melihat langit pada hari itu, kenapa? karena langit sangat cerah dan banyak sekali melihat helicopter yang sedang berlalu-lalang ingin rasa nya untuk menambah 1 hari lagi stay di Franz Josef. Namun jadwal sudah kami buat sedemikian rupa, dan tidak begitu menyesal karena sepanjang perjalanan menuju Wanaka betul-betul sangat indah lebih indah dibandingkan hari-hari sebelumnya. Sempat berhenti di beberapa spot yaitu di Lake Matheson sekitar 20-25 menit. 
“Lake Matheson”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lalu lanjut lagi ke pemberhentian berikutnya yaitu kesuatu pantai dan rombongan hanya di berikan waktu 20 menit untuk menikmati alam sekitar.
Tumblr media
Perjalanan kali ini bus sering sekali berhenti di suatu tempat karena banyak sekali spot yang sangat memukau dan bagus untuk di abadikan, salah satu nya yaitu tempat ini, rombongan hanya diberikan waktu sekitar 10 menit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tak jauh dari lokasi sebelumnya bus berhenti lagi, kali ini ada sebuah waterfall yang indah namun kami tidak diberikan waktu yang lama untuk menikmati keindahan waterfall ini karena masih banyak pemandandan yang indah di sepanjang perjalanan menuju Wanaka. Kesan pertama melihat pemandangan lake Wanaka dari jendela bus rasanya mata dan juga camera hp gasabar untuk menyimpan keindahan dari lake Wanaka. Dan akhirnya bus berhenti 10 menit dan saya pun langsung mengambil gambar di sekitar lokasi.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lanjut lagi ke destination berikutnya yaitu dimana rombongan bisa belajar membawa pesawat kecil sambil melihat pemandangan lake Wanaka dari atas. Kebetulan saya tidak begitu excited untuk mencoba menerbangkan pesawat kecil, namun gaz ingin mecoba pengalaman tersebut dan untungnya dia mengajak saya untuk menjadi passanger nya. Untuk biaya menerbangkan pesawat ini yaitu sekitar $500 kalau tidak salah, dengan bebas membawa passanger sebanyak 2 orang. 
“ View Lake Wanaka “
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sungguh pemandangan lake Wanaka dari atas sungguh memukai, tidak menyesal untuk mencoba pengalaman seperti ini menurut saya.
Setelah itu kami langsung menuju ke hostel untuk meletakkan barang dan siap untuk menikmati sunset di pinggir lake Wanaka. Untuk biaya hostel ini $20 1 person/day. Karena hari masih sore yaitu sekitar jam 5 pm kami mampir membeli ice cream sambil mencari spot yang sangat famous di Wanaka yaitu That Wanaka tree sambil menikmati sunset.
“That Wanaka Tree”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Setelah selesai hunting foto dan memanjakan mata, kami kembali ke hostel untuk memasak makan malam dan lanjut untuk tidur.
Day 7, 27 February 2017
Yaaaap hari yang di tunggu-tunggu akhirnya datang juga, hari ini kami akan pergi menuju Queenstown, as we know that Queenstown is the capital city for adrenaline hunters. Di Queenstown saya dan gaz berencana untuk menginap 4 malam. Sebelum melakukan perjalanan menuju Queenstown kami singgah dulu ke mount Iron yang letaknya masih di Wanaka. Jangan salah sepanjang hiking di mount Iron ini banyak sekali orang tua bahkan orang tua yang usianya lanjut yang semangat untuk hiking.
“ View dari Mount Iron”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tetapi sayang sekali saya tidak berhasil melakukan perjalanan sampai ke puncak dikarenakan lupa membawa air minum dan memutuskan untuk turun kembali di 3/4 perjalanan. Dan lumayan sambil menunggu rombongan lain yang turun hiking saya bisa menikmati keindahan yang satu ini.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tujuan berikutnya yaitu Kawarau Bridge Bungy, jadi saya memang berencana untuk mencoba salah satu aktivitas disana yaitu bungee jumping dengan ketinggian 43m. Kurang lengkap rasanya kalo ga nyobain aktivitas yang satu ini karena saya sendiri itu tipe orang yang suka dengan extream activities, soo wajib banget buat nyobain bungee. Jadi hari ini kita 1 rombongan bus hanya survey lokasi saja, kebetulan besok saya dan gaz akan mencobanya.
“Kawarau Bridge Bungy”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kemudian setelah survey lokasi bungee, kami 1 rombongan bus diantar ke penginapan, yaitu penginapan Xbase di Queenstown untuk biaya nya masih sama yaitu $20 per person/day. Kali ini kami ber-2 memustuskan hanya menginap 1 malam disini dan akan pindah ke penginapan yang lain untuk hari berikutnya.
Setelah meletakkan barang, kami ber-2 langsung menyerbu salah satu tempat makan untuk lunch yaitu di Fergburger yang sangat dekat dengan hostel. Fergburger ini merupakan salah satu makanan halal disana, sangat penuh antrian nya dan menurut saya harga juga ukuran burger nya itu sesuai, pokoknya recommended untuk dicoba.
Karena tempat makan di Fergburger sangat penuh, akhirnya kami memutuskan untuk makan di pinggir lake Wakatipu sambil menikmati pemandangan nya. Rasanya betah sekali untuk berlama-lama di pinggir danau ini, apalagi dilengkapi dengan alunan music jadi semakin betah untuk berlama-lama di tempat ini.
“Lake Wakatipu”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tanpa terasa hari sudah gelap, kami pun kembali ke hostel pada jam 9 pm. 
Day 8, 28 February 2017
Memasuki hari ke 8 ini nampaknya membuat adrenalin saya semakin terpacu, yaa karena hari ini saya dan gaz akan mencoba bungee jumping. Kami ber-2 janjian dengan pihak AJ Hackett Bungy pada jam 10 am. Pagi ini kami memutuskan untuk breakfast di pinggir danau dengan menu sarapan buah apple & pisang, juga roti tawar dengan cheese ataupun nuttela.
Karena udah ga sabar untuk nyobain aktivitas yang satu ini saya langsung berbaris diantrian untuk melompat, sebelum nya setiap orang yang ingin melompat akan diukur terlebih dahulu tinggi badan,berat badan, dan juga apakah ada penyakit yang menyertainya. Jujur saja saya lebih takut mecoba skydive dibandingkan dengan bungee tapi setelah saya cobanya ternyata bungee jumping ini lebih seram dibandingkan skydive, kenapa? karena bungee ini kita sendiri yang mengontol diri kita, dan saat melompat saya merasa seperti nyawa ini hilang 3 detik hahaha.
“ Bungee Jumping at Kawarau Bridge”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Untuk biaya bungee jumping for adult $195 dan untuk documentasi saya memilih photo only yaitu sebesar $45 dan hasil foto-foto diatas merupakan hasil documentasi dari pihak AJ Hackett, karena saya membawa gopro sendiri saya tidak mengambil dokumentasi video.
Kemudian aktivitas berikutnya yaitu kami ber-2 kembali Queenstown untuk berjalan-jalan lalu mencoba salah satu ice cream disana dan membeli Fergburger lagi untuk ke-2 kali nya sambil menikmati pemandangan dari lake Wakatipu.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Setelah menikmati keindahan siang itu, kami ber-2 lanjut untuk mengunjungi Skyline Gondola. Letaknya tidak terlalu jauh dari taman dari tempat kami bersantai ya mungkin 20-30 menit saja dengan berjalan. Untuk biaya gondola for adult $35. Sangat banyak sekali aktivitas yang bisa dilakukan disana, jika ingin membeli ticket nya bisa langsung dilokasi atau pun dengan memesaan ticket di Skyline Queenstown . Dengan membeli ticket skyline kami dapat menikmati keindahan Queenstown dari atas.
“Skyline Queenstown”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Badan pun mulai terasa pegal akhirnya kami ber-2 memutuskan untuk check in di salah satu hotel yaitu Sherwood Queenstown pada sore itu. Tempat nya sangat cozy and comfy, ditambah lagi hotel ini berada di atas bukit jadi bisa langsung melihat lake Wakatipu dari hotel dan jauh dari keramaian, kekurangan nya lokasi hotel ini tidak berada di tengah pusat kota Queenstown. Selain itu lokasi hotel ini tidak jauh dari pemberhentian bus, jadi tidak sulit jika kami ingin berpergian ke tengah kota, hanya sekitar 10-15 menit saja dengan menggunakan bus. Lalu kami ber-2 memutuskan untuk menginap 3 malam di tempat ini, untuk biaya nya yaitu $250/days .
“Sherwood Queenstown Hotel”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dari sore hari kami ber-2 tidak pergi beranjak pergi ke manapun, kami hanya menikmati fasilitas dari hotel ini. Karena kamar kami tidak dilengkapi oleh TV maka malam itu saya mencari aktivitas lain yaitu mencoba bermain ping pong juga menikmati malam dengan duduk didekat kayu bakar. 
Day 9, 1 Maret 2017 
Memasuki hari ke 9 di Nz kali ini kami akan mengunjungi “The eighth wonder of the world” yaitu trip to Milford Sound. Trip ini sudah kami booking bersamaan dengan 8 days bus trip dengan PlanIt Nz. Letak Milford Sound cukup jauh dari pusat kota yaitu sekitar 4 hours dengan bus, maka kami ber-2 harus sampai di pusat kota sebelum jam 8 am. Sepanjang perjalanan menuju Milford sound betul-betul memukau hati, jauh nya perjalanan pun tidak terasa. Dan sempat berhenti di beberapa spot sebelum menuju Milford Sound yaitu di Te Anau.

Moment yob smashes up mosque during night of carnage
This is the moment a yob was filmed smashing up the windows of a mosque in Birmingham in a late-night rampage.
The mosque targeted is in Perry Barr and was one of five in the city to be vandalised last night with anti-terror officers investigating. 
Muslim worshippers in the city say they are afraid to bring the children to prayers after the attacks, which took place less than a week after the Christchurch massacre. 
ITV News has obtained CCTV footage of what appears to be one of five attacks on mosques in Birmingham overnight. A man can be seen walking along Broadway, Perry Barr, in the early hours of the morning, before swinging an object at the building https://t.co/zHfPQ5i7DV pic.twitter.com/cXNhSJj1Sn
— ITV News (@itvnews) March 21, 2019
The video footage shows a man with a hat and his face covered walking towards the mosque in the early hours. 
He is carrying an object in his hand and uses it to smash a window of the mosque. 
Five mosques in the city were attacked in total last night.
They are on Albert Road, Birchfield Road, Slade Road, the Broadway and Witton Road in the city. 
The moment a mosque in Perry Barr, Birmingham has its windows smashed up by a yob who has his face covered
The Al-Habib Masjid Mosque on the corner of Birchfield Road and Fentham Road in Perry Barr, Birmingham was attacked
A concerned parent told Sky News that he no longer ‘felt safe taking his five year old to prayers’.
The attack at the Witton Road Islamic Centre in Witton, saw seven windows and two doors smashed up. 
The mosque’s imam says that the attack took place between 1.30am and 2am with West Midlands Police saying they were alerted to the other attacks throughout the night.  
Officers were called to the mosque on Birchfield Road at 2.32am before realising that the attack had happened earlier. 
Volunteers work on fixing the damaged windows at the Witton Road Islamic centre in Birmingham after it was attacked last night
At 3.14am, they were alerted to a similar attack at the mosque on Slade Road, Erdington.
Police then began patrols in areas with mosques and came across the other damaged buildings.
Forensic officers are working to identify evidence, and CCTV is being examined.  
Footage of the damaged Witton mosque was posted online by Labour party Councillor for the Bromford and Hodge Hill ward, Majid Mahmood. 
Worshippers inspect the damage done to the Witton mosque during last night’s rampage
He tweeted: ‘Unfortunately the Witton Road Islamic Centre was attacked overnight by an individual who used a sledgehammer to break the windows.
‘I said last week that Muslims were afraid after the terrorist attacks in Christchurch.
‘We need support in Brum.’
His words were echoed by the Imam of Witton Islamic Centre.
Sharafat Ali, 66, told Birmingham Live: ‘Its terrible, the community is shocked because of what’s happened in New Zealand.
The mosque’s imam Sharafat Ali, 66 is now calling for more police protection ahead of Friday prayers
Four attacks were confirmed by police this morning, before a fifth one was discovered later in the day
‘We’ve been here for 30 years. In the morning you get 40 worshippers for morning prayer, on Friday you get about two to three hundred.
‘This doesn’t happen in Aston.
‘Tomorrow is Friday prayers and I don’t know what’s going up happen.
‘We are asking the police to give us more security.’ 
Home Secretary Sajid Javid tweeted: ‘Deeply concerning and distressing to see number of mosques have been vandalised in Birmingham overnight. @WMPolice are investigating motive but let me be clear – hateful behaviour has absolutely no place in our society & will never be accepted.’ 
Labour’s deputy leader Tom Watson tweeted: ‘I’m deeply saddened and disturbed by the attacks that have taken place on mosques across Birmingham in the early hours of this morning.
The motive for the vandalism is unclear, with anti-terror police now investigating the overnight attacks
‘Mosques are places of worship where people should feel safe and I’m appalled that they’ve been targeted in this way.
‘I stand in complete solidarity with the British Muslim community against the growing tide of Islamophobia we are facing in this country.
‘We have recently seen the tragic consequences of right wing extremism in New Zealand. I hope the government takes the necessary steps to reassure the British Muslim community and that the perpetrators of these hate-fuelled attacks are swiftly brought to justice.’ 
Shabana Mahmood, Labour MP for Birmingham Ladywood, tweeted: ‘The reports of attacks on mosques across Birmingham are truly terrible.
‘I have spoken with the Chief Constable & will be in constant contact with community leaders throughout the day.
‘I would urge all residents to remain calm & call Crime Stoppers with any info you may have.’
The Jame Masjid on Birchfield Road in Birmingham also had its windows smashed with a sledgehammer
The mosque’s windows were boarded up after volunteers had cleared up all the glass outside the building
West Midlands Police Chief Constable Dave Thompson said: ‘Since the tragic events in Christchurch, New Zealand, officers and staff from West Midlands Police have been working closely with our faith partners across the region to offer reassurance and support at mosques, churches and places of prayer.
‘At the moment we don’t know the motive for last night’s attacks.
‘What I can say is that the force and the Counter Terrorism Unit are working side-by-side to find whoever is responsible.
‘At difficult times like this, it is incredibly important that everyone unites against those who seek to create discord, uncertainty and fear in our communities.’
West Midlands Police Chief Constable Dave Thompson confirmed they are working alongside counter-terrorism officers
Representatives of the Birmingham Council of Mosques slammed the attack and called on police to do more
John Cotton, Labour councillor for Glebe Farm and Tile Cross areas in the city, tweeted: ‘Appalled to see that Birmingham mosques have been the target of vandalism and violence overnight.
‘I’m working with @WMPolice & @BhamCityCouncil to ensure we find those responsible & support our Muslim communities.
‘These thugs do not speak for Birmingham & will not divide us.’
The Birmingham Council of Mosques said it a statement: ‘As far as we can tell the Masajids were based around Handsworth/Aston and Witton.
‘We ask the masajids to be vigilant and do not hesitate in reporting any unusual/suspicious behaviour to the police immediately.
‘It is vital you report it so it can be logged.’ 
Javid Iqbal, a spokesman for Witton Islamic Centre said: ‘We’ve had a white intruder strike in the middle of the night. He has arrived with a sledgehammer and smashed one window. The force of the swing has actually meant he had lost his grip and the sledgehammer ended up in the middle of the mosque.
‘Incredibly, he has then gone away for half and hour and come back with another hammer to damage several more windows. There’s about five or six windows that have been put through.
Seven windows and two doors were smashed in the attack that took place between 1.30am and 2am
Mosque volunteers could be seen sweeping up the broken glass in the aftermath of the vandalism
Police officers were spotted helping mosque officials clean up the glass that littered the pavement outside one of the damaged mosques
‘In that half and hour, other mosques in a two mile radius or so have been attacked as well. So I don’t know if he was working in a team and there were several of them.
‘Whatever the case, it is just a minority of idiots that do not reflect the values of this city or this community. 
‘We have boarded up the mosque but it remains open today for worshippers. I’m yet to speak to insurers about the cost of the damage.
‘We have asked for extra resources from police, not just for Friday prayers but also for early in the morning and late at night.’ 
Worshipper Rashid Mohammed, 33, a father-of-three, said: ‘I was afraid something like this might happen after New Zealand. It was only a matter of time.
‘I won’t lie, I’ve been looking over my shoulder since Christchuch, even to the point where I make sure I’m by an emergency exit when I pray in case anything happens.
‘All it takes is one small-minded racist and it is very sad to see this happening in this day and age. We are proud to live in such a diverse city and we are devastated that these incidents still happen.’

The first victims of the Christchurch terror attack have been named, as dozens more remain missing – including a three-year-old boy.
Police have confirmed that at least one child has been killed, while a number of other children remain in hospital.  
Brenton Tarrant, 28, appeared in Christchurch District Court charged with murder on Saturday, after he allegedly stormed a mosque in Christchurch, opening fire with a semi-automatic shotgun and a rifle on about 100 people attending Friday prayers.
Authorities have confirmed 49 people were killed in the massacre and at least 40 were injured. 
Haji Daoud Nabi, 71, and Naeem Rashid and his 21-year-old son Talha, have been confirmed dead by heartbroken family and friends.

The pair were told to expect the worst on Friday afternoon after their father hadn’t returned from his Friday prayers.
Naeem Rashid, from Abbottabad in Pakistan, was hailed a hero after he tried to wrestle the gun from the Christchurch shooter on Friday.

The Al Umari family moved to New Zealand from the United Arab Emirates 22 years ago. 
Cashmere High School student Sayyad Milne, 14, who was at Friday prayers when the shooting started, is also feared dead.

Additionally, a toddler and a teenager boy are among the victims in need of urgent hospital treatment following the New Zealand mosque massacre, Christchurch Hospital’s head of surgery Greg Robertson confirmed.

Mr Robertson confirmed medical staff are continuing to provide care for 39 injured patients.
Christchurch Hospital’s head of surgery Greg Robertson (pictured) confirmed a four-year-old girl is in critical condition following the shooting 
Out of the 48 patients admitted to hospital, seven individuals have now been discharged.
‘The 36 in hospital also include two children that remain within our care. Both are boys, one is aged two, and the other is aged 13,’ Mr Robertson told reporters. 
‘Both are in a stable condition. As you would expect, the wounds from gunshots are often quite significant,’ he added.
The surgeon also confirmed that four patients had passed away while they were being transported to the hospital.
He also said that while the victims ranged in age from ‘very young to quite elderly’ in the main the majority of patients were males in the age range of thirties to forties.
‘Of the 36 patients that remain in hospital, 11 of them are in the intensive care unit, including one female aged in her mid-20s.
‘All of those in ICU are what we would consider critically ill,’ the surgeon said.
While some patients remain in a stable condition, the surgeon confirmed that others are not.
He added that 12 operating theatres worked throughout the night.
Many victims will need ongoing care.
‘As you appreciate, there is usually not just one system involved, and we are using all of our surgical services in their different specialties to deliver care for the patients as they need it,’ he added.
