Auckland to Paihia
4 Maret 2025, Selandia Baru ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
About as exciting as it got today. Long drive to Paihia and found a quaint little town called Puhoi for a break along the way. Can’t get used to all the Maori names and how to say them.

Rotorua Take 2
9 Maret 2025, Selandia Baru ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Headed back through Rotorua on our way to Lake Taupo so stopped at the largest thermal springs in the Southern Hemisphere. Today it wasn’t quite as active. This indicates volcanic activity somewhereBaca selengkapnya
Hobbiton

Hobbiton was a highlight. Loved this tour. And we had the happiest little Singaporean guide. Went to Lake Taupo via Rotorua again to see the thermal springs and bubbling mud. So good to see.

Had a nice visit to Wanganui. Stayed at the Rutland Arms Hotel, played a quirky game of mini golf, and found a little town called Bulls on our way to Wellington. The Rat Hole really was a rat hole.
Te Papa at Wellington
13 Maret 2025, Selandia Baru ⋅ 🌬 14 °C
Museums usually put me to sleep but the Anzac section of this one wasn’t bad, mostly because the giant wax figures were incredibly made.
Windy Wellington
14 Maret 2025, Selandia Baru ⋅ 🌙 13 °C
Quirky artwork, Miramar studios, Te Papa (amazing Anzac display), cable car, views of the city and the parliamentary building once voted the ugliest building in the world.

Bullers Gorge & Punakaiki
16 Maret 2025, Selandia Baru ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Crossed New Zealand’s longest swing bring at Bullers Gorge. Then travelled onto Punakaiki where we walked to Pancake Rocks. I was expecting some flat rocks on the beach but what we found was amazing.
Franz Josef
17 Maret 2025, Selandia Baru ⋅ 🌧 17 °C
Cold and miserable. Nothing much to do except eat and drink. We did watch a great little 40 min movie about the region at the cinema. And had a cuppa at a cute little town called Hokitika.
