Le Gite Backpackers at Hanmer Spring.
a really beautiful and homely place to live in!
the hall was much warmer than our rooms.

after a warm "bath" at the hot spring! feeling refreshed. although e mineral smell was quite strong, a nice meal completes it!

temperature of e water approximately 40degree.
comparing to e weather temperature... hmmmm 5degree? or even lower, maybe

look at e thickness of e snow.
even on e benches.
and despite e coldness, ice cream is good!

yup! we were at the rock pool!
beautiful resort too!

dad enjoying himself!
its shiok! so shiok!


we're reached!
M.... Hot Spring Resort! *cant remember how to spell*
note: this isn't e popular Hanmer Spring Hot Spring.
its abt an hour drive away.
we discovered this Hot Spring from bayan. he told me this place is much much nicer than the so highly promoted Hanmer Spring Hot Spring. so i trust him on that!
and i wasn't disappointed! =)
hanmer spring hot spring looks just like a typical public pool area, although its more commonly promoted by NZ tourism board. it
anyway here, we made new friends. 3 japanese. they said this is different from the hot spring they get back in japan.

continuing our drive!
