YOLO New Zealand @ Day 17 Dunedin

Our next destination is Dunedin, which is the second largest city in the South Island of New Zealand and the principal city of Otago region. It's name comes from a Scottish name, Edinburgh. Unlike Queenstown, there were many shops around, perfect for those who love shopping.

As we arrived at Dunedin, it was already afternoon and hence we decided to walk around and sight-see for the rest of the day.

The famous Cadbury Chocolate Factory is located in Dunedin and hence we made a visit there to sample their chocolates. I believe you can booked a tour at the Chocolate factory where you can view the insights on how Cadbury chocolate bars are made. We didn't book any tour as we intended to only visit the cafe and get some chocolates.

We walk into the foyer of Cadbury World to be greeted by the sight of an entire wall covered in Crunchy bars! A giant Easter bunny sculpture guards one corner and the Cadbury Museum begins in another corner. We took some pictures with the Easter Bunny and headed to the Cadbury Cafe.

Our senses have been tingled the moment we step into the cafe. The rich aroma of chocolates smell...Ooh-lala! We each ordered caramel chocolate drink and that was amazing. Beside the cafe is a small retail corner selling all kinds of Cadbury chocolates!

We the went to our favorite supermarket, Countdown to shop for ingredients to prepare our dinner for tonight. We were staying at a serviced apartment just next to Knox Church and hence quite a convenient to walk to the supermarket and the shops down the street. I would say our apartment was spacious, clean and comfy for a good 2 nights rest.

Mauritius, An Island of Emotion

Mauritius, is an island nation in the Indian Ocean off the southeast coast of the African continent. Together with my Diva friend, we travelled to Mauritius in 2014 for our first ever girls trip or what we called as our "Elephant & Hippo Honeymoon". Although Mauritius is an island, the entire island is at least twice bigger than Singapore. Flights to Mauritius are somewhat limited. The airlines that flew to Mauritius include Air Mauritius, Emirates, British Airway and Air France. From Singapore, it took about 10 hours to reach Mauritius, including an hour transit at KL. Despite the long haul flight, I would say Mauritius is worth the visit at least once in your lifetime. I'm glad to have traveled with my Diva friend to this exotic place.

Jeju, an island of love and romance Day 2

From its summery island beaches to its statuesque Hallasan Mountain, verdant O'Sulloc green tea fields, and its iconic Sunrise Peak @ Seongsan IIchubang, Jeju Island is an icon in South Korea. Not forgetting the famous Jeju tangerine, a citrus fruit lauded across Jeju island at large. Hence, we decided to go to a local tangerine farm to find out. I couldn't quite remember the name of the tangerine farm but it took us quite some time to locate it. The farm was near a neighborhood where every household grew their own tangerine trees at their yard/garden. It was quite a sight as this was my first time seeing a tangerine tree. Anyway, if you like oranges and the idea of trampling through the orchards in search of that perfect fruit, then you've got to come during the tangerine season (which is like from November onwards). Tangerine picking in my opinion is quite an inexpensive activity in Jeju. We googled this tangerine farm not far from the city where tourists and...

Mauritius, An Island Of Emotion @ Chamarel, Black River Gorges and great Seafood lunch

1. Seven Coloured Earth @ Charamel The Seven Coloured Earth is a geological formation and prominent tourist attraction found in the Chamarel Plain of Riviere Noire District in South-western Mauritius. How interesting! It is in fact a relatively small area of sand dunes comprising sand of seven distinct colours (i.e. red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple and yellow). In fact, the colours are dependent on the sunlight. The main feature of the place is that since these differently coloured sands spontaneously settle in different layers, dunes acquire a surrealistic, striped colouring. At the entrance of the Seven Coloured Earth, there is this beautiful Chamarel Waterfall. Although this is not the most magnificent waterfall that I've seen, this waterfall is the highest in Mauritius.
