    Waitomo Glow Worms Caves and Hobbiton

     May 18 in New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    Big day today driving and being a tourist! Left New Plymouth at 730am for the Waitomo Glowworm Caves. Amazing experience going through the caves and then a boat ride to see the Glowworms.... No photos unfortunately it scares the Glowworm....
    Then our trusty GPS lead as astray around windy mountains 🏔 (real good for the travel sick 🤢 passenger aka me)! Making us 2 hours behind schedule and an hour late to Hobbiton Movie Set.
    Well worth the long mountain drive!!!! Many many photos taken and even a local ginger beer.
    Then our trusty GPS got us semi lost but eventually we made it to Auckland about 2 hours behind schedule. Finally at our hotel having dinner.... Off to bed soon as once again we have an early flight to Sydney with a long delay until we are back in Port Macquarie tomorrow! See you tomorrow signing off from my North Island NZ Birthday holiday!    Read more

    Te Puia And the Polynesian Spa

     May 13 in New Zealand

    Great day exploring the Maori culture further at Te Puia for most of today!
    Experiencing the Geysers going off and the mud pools along with the Maori culture. (Plus the smell of sulphur)
    Back to the hotel and straight over to the Polynesian Spa for a soak in the hot pools taking away our aches and pains....
    Then for a 45 minute massage absolutely blissful.
    Yummy buffet dinner at the hotel now for bed as we are so relaxed from our spa experience this afternoon.
    Off to Napier in the morning to continue our North Island holiday......    Read more
