First I need to thank you my parents and Filipino maid took care our baby during the month of honeymoon and quarantine after returned to Macau. Also my wife for taking the risks of the trip while the situation of COVID-19 were getting worse.
New Zealand is one of our dream destinations after marriage in 2018. We kept postponing our honeymoon since my wife’s pregnant and gave birth our lovely baby last year. At the end of last year, we thought that it’s time to take into action after settling down. We planned our holiday and booked everything. However, our trip in March was unlucky come across with the spread of COVID-19 since January. The situation was getting worse in many countries beside China since February. Many people advised us it was not suitable leaving home and go travelling overseas. Sorry to everyone who were worried about us during the month. I did not believe I could give up our plan because the cost of cancellation was big and it’s rare chance to have over half month leaves from my work to spend our honeymoon in this breathtaking and amazing paradise.
Nevertheless, we’re fine after coming back and took tons footage for recording our unforgettable moments, wonderful experience and the dramatic landscapes in NZ. This video is short highlight of our honeymoon trip from 9th to 26th March of 2020. Hope you enjoy the video done by me through squeezing time from busy work and baby stuffs day by day since finished our quarantine in mid-April.
Feel free to inbox me if you are curious about our travel itinerary or any advice if you are going to travel in New Zealand. Cheers!

It's in March 2020, the weather was warm for us at daytime, maybe dropped to 1X degrees at night. When we hiked at Franz Josef Glacier, the ice was getting melted. 😁😁
