WW: Welcome to Rotorua, the Jewel of the North Island, New Zealand

Hi everyone..

Welcome back and allow me to take you to Rotorua, the Jewel of the North Island, New Zealand, this time.

In the middle of the Desert Road

Rotorua is one of the famous tourist destinations in Aotearoa, particularly in the North Island. Before the pandemic, this city is swarmed by nature lovers and outdoor as well as adrenaline junkies as Rotorua is famous for those thrilling adventures. Rotorua is also one of the best spots to enjoy geo thermal springs, spa, and all those wonderful place. 

Lake Rotorua

We tried as many as we can, from hot spring family pool, luge, the Hobbiton, the Maori cultural center, the geyser, Rotorua Lake and the museum. 

At Te Luia, exploring the Maori amazing cultures

Even along the way, when we passed Mt. Ruapehu, Lake Taupo, Wairauoru, and more cities, the sceneries are already breathtaking.

we really love the Hobbiton!

It was fun indeed and I will be more than happy to share more details on my next post. But now, let's see a recap of our Rotorua trip in photos.

Enjoy!

WW: Hatupatu Scenic Lookout, Lake Rotorua, New Zealand

Hi everyone..

Hope all is well and I am enjoying the beautiful weather in Wellington!

This time, I would like to share the photos of our recent trip to Rororua, one of the most favorite destination in Aotearoa, New Zealand. it is famous for its geothermal bath, amazing landscape and fun outdoor activity centers.

Let's stop by at Hatupatu Scenic Lookout, Rotorua, New Zealand. Here we can enjoy the calming scenery of Lake Rotorua. As you can see, the lake is unique with two distinct colors because it is sulphuric. It comes with distinct aroma as well but it's still manageable, at least for me.

We also stopped by at Rotorua Museum. The architecture is so beautiful but it is temporarily closed for strengthening and renovation. 

At Hatupatu Scenic Lookout, Rotorua, we can also see the Lakeland Queen Cruise Boat, which I guess is no longer operating, at least for now. Here are some photos we took around the area and will be more than happy to get back to you with more details. Till then, take care!

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World and Friends

Hello spring and hello to you all!

To those living in a northern part of the world, you are now entering one of the most beautiful seasons in the year, autumn. But for us in the southern athmosphere, it's time to embrace the blossoming flowers and trees and warmer weather! 

Spring is in the air!

Although Wellington still have many rainy days and freezing mornings, at least the afternoon is clear and sunny, giving you a warming feeling and excitement. This will be the first spring for us at Aotearoa and we're already packed with plans to explore the country more. 

We just recently visited Aston Norwood Garden  (click HERE to see more photos and story) to enjoy cherry blossoms in greater Wellington and strolled around Paraparaumu Beach plus Paekakariki Lookout. It's just lovely to go outdoor and enjoy the fresh air! Next, we have Rotorua, lake Taupo (again) and Auckland in the agenda! Hope we stay healthy and fit to do all this wonderful plan.

Moreover, work wise, we have more offline meetings and coordination. Again, it's so good to meet people face-to-face after all these years. I know the pandemic is not yet gone but with the vaccines and boosters and all the supplements as well as health supplies that we can utilize, we are confident enough to start doing our activities as we did it before. Well, not entirely the same but similar in many aspects. All in all, we are adapting with the new normal without sacrificing too much of our social life as human. 

Now, we have a great line up of blogs this week and I sincerely hope you do enjoy this edition's of Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World , Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends!

spring is coming to my neighborhood as well! 

We always have a great lineup and were happy to have you join us each week and hope you enjoy this weeks features to inspire you..

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

Sunny yet chilly Welly

 

Welcome back!

Another week in September and how I can't wait to have warmer, sunnier days ahead.

We are supposed to have spring, yet the freezing weather keeps coming back. We even had hail in one of the week and the night before was super freezing. At least for me and my family. Good thing we have heated floor and heater but the freezing weather confined us at home so no adventures in Aotearoa for a while. Well, we can definitely wait until everything is better and warmer. 

Now. whenever we have some sunshine, we simply go out, take a little walk and eat out. I never say I don't like winter but the windy, freezing one we have down here is not really my thing.

But anyway, while my outdoorsy adventures is put to halt, our culinary odyssey continues. On this front, Wellington is good and offers plenty of choices. Great restaurants and eateries are plenty in town and I definitely more than happy to explore them. I have been enjoying the Asian food, western food, Wellington's favorite and more. We also managed to eat in Capital Bistro, one of Indonesian restaurant in town as well.

Some food we have been enjoying this weel. including the fresh guacamole I made at home

So, let's have fun with Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends. We get a lot of wonderful links for you all to see and I have to say some of them are my favorites with all the cool recipes, tips & tricks, and more. Ready? Let's hit it!
