personal - Singapore, New Zealand, Hong Kong Tour - 2012
In 2012 I celebrated my birthday with my best friend Jabeen by travelling to
Singapore, New Zealand and Hong Kong. This was my first proposed trip
to this part of the world and to be perfectly honest I wasn't relishing the
amount to time that I knew we would have to spend on the plane. However this
was an opportunity I could not pass up. In addition this addressed two of
the issues on my bucket list
The trip was scheduled to take place from 27 March to 10th of April. The central core of the trip would be spent in
the north island of New Zealand
on an organised tour. However, this would leave us with two days of touring in both Singapore and Hong Kong where we would
be left to our own devices.
I travelled armed with a guide book for New Zealand and Singapore but apart from some half remembered pieces of information
from minor internet research, I didn't have much information about Hong Kong. We were going to have to wing it.
I was determined to take as many pictures as possible to record the trip and I took my trusted DSLR with me. One of the interesting
aspects of the trip was that I celebrated my birthday in three different countries due to the change in time zones.
Travel Details
If some of the travel times seem a bit odd it should be remembered that this is probably due to the time differences between different countries.
