Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World and Friends

Kia Ora and morena.. 

 Welcome back! 




I hope all is well as we enjoy October. Back in NYC, October is one of our favorite months in a year as we celebrate autumn and all its wonderful ambience. Here in Wellington, spring is sprouting out and I love to see all those beautiful flowers here and there.

This October is quite colorful for us. After exploring  Rotorua and the northern part of the North Island in Aotearoa, we drove to Auckland and watched World Rally Championship or WRC, for Rally New Zealand. My hubby and my son got super excited to see their first WRC session in New Zealand. We stayed at Crown Plaza Auckland in the CBD and drove to the Brookby farm to reach Jack's Ridge stage. It was raining and very muddy but my hubby and my son were super thrilled and excited to see the WRC - Repco NZ Rally. I guess the the roaring sound from those mufflers, the speed, the flying mud and the distinct smell from the burning oil are really something.

We only passed the Sky Tower in Auckland and walked around the town hall in the morning as it was raining as well. Then the following day we drove back to Wellington again. Another 8.5 hours on the road but it was quite an experience indeed. Will share more on this.

Still in October, I was lucky enough to get the chance to enjoy WOW - World of WearableArt, a world-class fashion and entertainment event held in Wellington. 



We got the ticket for the Award Nite so it was special and surprising as well, as we had Prime Minister Jacinda Arden joining the runway and wore one of the designs from New Zealand designers. Will share more on that as well.

WW: Wellington Royal Botanic Garden in spring



 Wellington looks more and more colorful these days as spring is in the air.





Wellington Royal Botanic Garden in spring is certainly inviting. I managed to enjoy my lunch break here twice during these days. Although Wellington is still frequently dotted with heavy rain and freezing wind, we sometimes were blessed with warm afternoon.

cheers

So, I took the liberty to walk from the office as it was only a 10 minute walk. We grabbed our lunches and sit on the benches there, enjoying the fresh air, blue sky and tulips. It was very refreshing. 

 


Many people enjoying the Royal Botanic Garden as well as it has jogging tracks, steps, sound shells, bush walk, pond and more.  It was really a lovely gem in the middle of the city. Some of the tulips were already fallen because of the rain but I still enjoy the garden.

Here are some photos I took along the way. You can see why I enjoy it so much!

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!

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World and Friends




Kia ora and welcome back!

I have been enjoying lovely Wellington, with some sunny and warm days.

We were super happy as well as we got the chance to actually travel to Rotorua, one of the famous destinations in New Zealand. I really love the fact that we have the long weekend so I can take my family altogether. So we manage to visit Rotorua Skyline, Polynesia Spa, Te Puia Maori Center, and the Hobbiton, the movie set for Lord of the Rings and the Hobbits trilogy! It's just like a dream come true for me and my hubby,  huge fans of Sir Peter Jackson's amazing works. My kids definitely enjoy the trip as well and we even have plans to come back again here as 3 days is definitely not enough.

The kids are enjoying their schools as well and soon will have a spring break. So this week, we will be heading to Auckland and explore the city as well as meet some friends. Super excited indeed.
