Gives me the creeps!

Day 12- Honeymoon

Heading towards the South Island’s East Coast our next stop this morning was to Oamaru. Having intentions to spot some wild penguins, we soon realized that sightings were only in the evening and that peak season had just gone by. Not wanting to waste our visit there, we decided to wander some streets see what grasp our attention.

We stopped by Puzzling World enroute to Oamaru

I'm leaning!

Fee Fai Foo Fum. I smell the blood of an innocent Malaysian.

Again, more lovely sceneries

New Zealand is an amazing country

We soon found out that Oamaru is nothing less than a ‘forsaken, mystical, creepy’ town. The buildings dates back to 1800’s with huge structures hover and make its presence known. People in the town dress old and drippy seemingly content to be in their own world. We found many psychic and fortune telling shops looming round the corner. Coincidentally they were also having a gypsy fair stretching over many acres of land! Just as we had enough of the wandering we came to this open garage with its gates sprung opened. Large poster invited us in – “Gallery inside”. As we entered the sounds of the piano echoed the place and right in our face sculptures of witchy looking women made her welcome. Everywhere we turned there were gothic figurines and creepy paintings. The thing that sent us sauntering out of the garage was the pianist - a woman all dressed in back with dark red bushy hair sitting silently running her fingers on the piano! *Goose bumps*

Along their weekend market

It's Famous Because It's Good (Ya, right!)

This is their typical 'shopping mall'

And their typical workplace

Creeps yet?

CREEPSSS????!!!!!

Zooming out of Oamaru, we headed to Timaru for the night. Pleasant surprises for our night stay as we checked into a room complete with jacuzzi and kitchen. Taking advantage of the facilities, Terence cooked up a simple dinner of pasta, curried veggies and honey soy chicken.
