Flowers tv Anchor Aswathi Sreekanth Honeymoon details
How we met: We studied together at Dubai. Since. we were a year apart in college we did not know each other until we were introduced to each other through a pool of common friends. After knowing each other for a while through our constant hang outs and partie s with friends, we started dating. We were not sure whether this relationship would work out. but then love took over. We soon decided that we were going to spend the rest of our lives together. and finally after five year: of dating we got married on this year's (2014) Valentine's Day.

Destination: We were not too sure thai we would be going for our honeymoon immediately after the wedding because our wedding date was fast approaching and we did not live in the same country (he was settled in New Delhi and I was in Abu Dhabi, UAE). Also. we were not too keen on going for a honeymoon all by au rse Ives as we were used to always hanging around with friends when we were dating. So the whole idea of going as a couple sounded too boring for us! Luckily. one of our common friends who got married recently too was keen on going with us. The friends had decided on Australia and New Zealand as the destinations and we both agreed upon it too.
Where we stayed: Our ftirst destination was Queenstown in New Zealand, where we stayed at Crowne Plaza which had a splendid view of Lake Wakatipu. After three days of exploring Queenstown, we travelled 9 hours by road in our personal rented car to our next destination, Hokitika. At Hokitika, we stayed at Remu Lodge, which was actually a private house converted into a lodge and had just four rooms to rent We were lucky to get rooms in this lodge due to last minute cancellations and it was totally worth it as this place too mad a mind blowing view. The best part about the South Island of New Zealand was that every place had a fabulous view; even the sheep's and cows in the farms looked scenic for that matter. Our next city was Sydney where we stayed at The Darling on Darling Harbour. This hotel was in a complex known as The Star which had a shopping mall consisting of many high-end brands, a big food court and a huge Casino. So there was a lot to explore in the hotel itself. After Sydney, we went to the Hamilton Island, which is a privately owned Island and part of The Great Barrier Reef. We stayed at the Reef View Hotel in Hamilton Island. After experiencing some fine luxury living on this private island, we went to Gold Coast, where we stayed at yet another luxury hotel in Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort and Spa.
Our Favovurite meal. I am a sea food lover and can have sea food almost every day and every meal. Both New Zealand and Australia had some amazing sea food to serve at most of the local eating joints that we visited. It was the opposite case with my husband as he is a pure vegetarian. But luckily for him, most of the places had vegetarian items on their menu. One particular place that we loved was Fergburger in Queenstown which had burgers that had interesting names like Bun Laden and The Godfather. This place had the tastiest burgers anyone of us had ever had. Even my 'pure vegetarian' husband was impressed with it. Drinks of choice: There were a lot of locally produced wine and beer options available in both the countries. Our favourites were Monteith's Crushed Apple Cider beer and Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc, both of which were locally produced in New Zealand. Apart from that, we loved having Malibu now and then.
Most gorgeous view: On first day of our trip, we visited the Skyline Gandola in Queenstown and there was this buffet restaurant serving some really nice gourmet food and the view was just out of this world. The snow covered mountains bordering Lake Wakatipu looked spectacular. I am absolutely out of words to describe this view. It was a view worth seeing and feeling!
Sweet find: When in Australia, you definitely need to do some Ugg boots shopping. Ugg is used as generic name for all the sheepskin boots that are produced locally and hence there
is nothing such as fake or originalUggs, these just come from different manufacturers which is why you will see a difference in styles. You will find every third shop in Sydney and Surfers Paradise selling these boots. Do not to miss out on these!
Our honeymoon in one word: Marvellous! We are so glad we decided our honeymoon with our couple friend. It wouldn't have been any fun without them. And the funny part was that many of our other friends who were single though it was a weird idea going on a honeymoon with another couple, but then when we told them all the pros of going on a honeymoon with another couple, they too had to agree!
Don't miss: In New Zealand, do not forget to hire your own car and drive around the South Island. You will come across the most beautiful views you may have ever seen or will see. Most of our journey within New Zealand was by road and totally worth the 25 hours that we spent driving around. While in Hamilton Island, don't forget to hire your personal buggy to explore all the corners of the island on your own for some beautiful views.

How to get there: We flew from New Delhi to Sydney via Singapore in Qantas. There are regional air carriers like Jet Star and Qantas Link to move around in different cities of Australia and New Zealand.
Don't leave home without: Bug spray! You will come across a lot of insects when you visit Milford Sound in Queenstown. and New Zealand being a very expensive country, you might not want to spend a huge amount on just a bug spray. If you happen to be a pure vegetarian. don't forget a carry a nice back up of 'Ready to Eat' meals as you never know when you might be stranded on Hamilton Island (we were stuck on the Island for 3 days due to tropical cyclones that resulted in cancellation of all flights to and from the island). More money than budgeted as you might end up stuck on an island due to cyclones!
