遊記產出到一半就卡住了，目前竟然是卡在我最喜歡的動物園部分，而這才只是第二天的行程而已，這次預計至少應該要有三十篇，目前大約完成了五分之一。
我很喜歡看旅遊書籍，近幾年買最多的書除了攝影作品、資訊系統，再下來就是旅遊文學了。這趟去NZ附帶的條件，當然就是要忠實的報導我的所見所聞，幸好當初簽約時有提過，我只能用個人的喜好與方式來表達我的體驗。
我手邊有關NZ的書籍很多，有兩本是旅遊攝影文學，其他通通是旅遊工具書。出發前是透過規劃的行程贏得這趟旅程，所以不論是書面的亦或是網路上的資料，蒐集了不少。而我發現最大的問題都是，某某地方有某些景點，然後好一點的有景點的簡單介紹，但再來就沒有了。而我最想知道的是，那個景點好不好玩，哈～
當然好不好玩與有沒有可看性因人而異，但我希望如果要整理遊記，除了整理的過程可以讓我更深入這一趟旅行的風情文化之外，它也能提供給其他人作為有用的參考，不管是閱讀之後有了共鳴，亦或是對其未來的行程有所幫助。而這就不再單純的只是我自己的旅遊日記而已～
因為有這些奇怪的想法，所以後續整理的時間更長，閱讀的資料也更多。很多東西都是親身體驗之後，看到了相關的資料，才有了更深的共鳴啊！難怪古人說：「讀萬卷書、行萬里路」，兩者是相輔相成的。
我在Princes Gate Hotel聽到Craig Davson演唱My way，這是當晚音樂盛宴的最後一首歌，回到台灣時一直想找這張專輯，昨晚終於在凌亂的架上找到了。有時候CD太多沒分類，往往想找一首歌，就得花上一、兩個小時啊！以後買新房子我很需要一面專門放CD的牆。
我有兩個版本，一個是Robbie Williams所演唱的新版，另一個是早期瘦皮猴Frank Sinatra所演唱的古老版，而我自己比較愛壞孩子Robbie Williams的版本。他的這首是在倫敦 Royal Albert Hall的實況版，是獻給她媽媽的感恩之歌，超優～
另外上面的照片，是前往Treetops Lodge的門口所拍攝的，勉強搭的上這首歌～
Lyrics
And now the end is near
So I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certainI've lived a life that's full
I've travelled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my wayRegrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exceptionI planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
Oh, and more, much more than this
I did it my wayYes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my wayI've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fails, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, no not me
I did it my wayFor what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has not
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words he would reveal
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
