Picton, New Zealand
http://www.travel-explorer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/picton_new_zealand-300x225.jpg
Picton in New Zealand was the last town of the South Island before we caught the ferry to Wellington in the North Island. It is located at the head of Queen Charlotte Sound in the Marlborough Sounds, which is in the Marlborough region at the north-east part of the South Island. This place had very nice scenery. It is quite a small town and we almost couldn’t find accommodation. It may be because a lot of tourists are waiting for their ferry transfer. Our …

Fox Glacier is located on the west coast of the South Island in New Zealand. The place is beautiful. The glacier is so crystal blue and waiting for tourists visit. From a distance, you can see Mount Cook standing behind the glacier. Parts of the glacier are constantly breaking off and floating down the the Fox River.

Pancake Rocks in New Zealand
http://www.travel-explorer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/pancake-rocks-new-zealand-300x225.jpg
Pancake Rocks is located on the west coast of New Zealand’s South Island. They are located at Dolomite Point, near the small village of Punakaiki which is located in between Greymouth and Westport. Not 100% sure why they’re called Pancake Rocks, but maybe it’s because they look like giant pancakes coming out of the ocean! This incredible effect to the rocks was made by the ocean, wind, and acidic rain. Looking out to the large, wild ocean, I feel like …

This is the first time for me in Boracay, Philippines. Before …

Palm and rubber plantation is the local business. I was very surprised to see most of the countryside covered by palm and rubber plants. If one day the world runs out of …
