Escapade to New Plymouth and Lake Taupo (Part 2)

Welcome back, everyone..

This is another super late post but I'd love to share more of our experiences in Aotearoa New Zealand. So, let's continue our trip on this sweet escapade we have to New Plymouth and Lake Taupo.

Don't miss the first part and you can read Escapade to New Plymouth and Lake Taupo (Part 1) too. You can see how fun and excited it was.

As we continued our trip to  Lake Taupo, we arrived in late afternoon at Taupo area, just in time to enjoy the lovely sunset by the Lake. We stayed at Cascade Lakefront Motel and took 2 big rooms,- more like apartment, for 13 of us. All the ladies and kids stayed together and the boys got their own room. The hotel is perfect because it has direct access to the lake. And Lake Taupo, famous for its sunset and lake-related activities, is not disappointing at all. I have to say we had excellent sunset here! You can see that in my YouTube video as well :). I was actually planning to try the pool and the hot tub but we were running out of time. 

That night, we had dinner in one of the restaurants in the nearest area. I forgot what’s the name of the place, will check it out on Google Maps and get back to you on that. For sure, we ordered Korean BBQ, sun dubu, japchae, and more (I hope I write them write). Kids really loved the restaurant and they really devoured their food.

I have shared the review of the Cascade Lakefront Motel on my Youtube Channel

We spent some times enjoying sunset here and the had dinner in the nearby restaurant. This time, we had some chickens and a lot of desserts. Well, kids love all the cakes and chocolates for sure. Really enjoyed the adventures here..

Of course, our adventures continue in Huka Falls and Three Sisters and the Elephant. Have you heard of these place before?

Three Sisters and the Elephant is the famous spot in New Plymouth where you can see the big rocks and unique formation that stand close to each other. We came at the right time, about to be sunset and the dramatic sky was dominating the area. It was magical!
