Took bus No 2 to Te Puia. We actually requested for the driver to inform us when reached. I think he forgot about us. He stopped at the university when all alighted and he pointed out the way to Te Puia. Yes We walked long way cos when we returned, we realized that the bus stop was actually near the entrance.
Te Puia was not like rest of the attraction. Not so user friendly. Points all not clear.
Maybe from 1 point to another a bit far? But just walk all the track. Be it proper track or uneven stone track. It will bring u somewhere.
The main attraction is point 10. The geyser. The lady geyser we saw was like small scale. This was huge. Wonder if they place lots of soap so that it shoot up always?
Hate the China people.. who push us away as they wanted to take photos. Even worse. While at the airport, these china people talking loudly. When we walked away, the mother asked the daughter if they were talking loud, the daughter answered, scare what, we got money! 怕什么，我们有的是钱！If you have money, then you should be in business class why sit with us at the economy cabin??
Then they were just stubborn! They anyhow sat in the plane and the air stewardess chased them back to their original seat and told them they could only change their seat after take off. Hmm..wonder why the air stewardess insist on that and these china people kept changing. Really irritating cos the air stewardess kept walking to their seat to tell them off. Can't they just follow instruction?!
No wonder the Australian dislike Chinese. Is that the reason?
Ok, we missed the guided tour. I think it would be good to follow one.
