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

I hope everyone is well and sound, wherever you are.

Windy Welly is still up to its name, cold and freezing thanks to the cold wind coming from the Pacific. I have been taking the public transportation for the last couple of weeks and we certainly embrace the cold wind and sometimes drizzles as well in the morning. 

Bo's school bus

Speaking of public transport in Welly, we usually get our bus at 7.50 in the morning. it will take us to the Karori Mall, so that we can transfer to Bus No. 2 or 18 which will take me and Obi to office and her school. Bo will stop in a different bus stop so that he can catch his school bus taking him to Wellington College. It was quite a journey as we have to ensure that the bus does come on time or otherwise we will miss the connection. Sometimes we ordered Uber as well but usually it will be tricky in the morning as it takes a while for them to reach us up on the hills in Karori. Well, that's the price we have to pay for amazing view at home. 

The public transportation in Wellington is okay but we have issues with low numbers of drivers and COVID-19 makes it worst. There are times when some services were heavily reduced or even cancelled and that makes it super difficult for those depending on public transportation. Online taxi or taxi is always expensive, so it will only be the last resort.  Hopefully we will have better and better services in the upcoming days.

Meanwhile, August is here and this is practically my month! Birthday is coming and for sure I hope we can have something nice and special when it comes. I really miss my munchkin and I know he will join us in Wellington in sya Allah.

WW : Enjoying Lake Taupo, New Zealand

Hi everyone..

Welcome back and I have to admit that I haven't shared many of my trips around Aotearoa New Zealand. Last May, we visited New Plymouth and Taupo. 

You can read some stories about it here: Escapade to New Plymouth and Lake Taupo (Part 1) and the Three Sisters and Elephant Rocks.

So now, let me take you around Lake Taupo and the city center.

We stayed in one of the hotels with the access to the lake and in the following day, we strolled around the city before heading back to Wellington. There's a city sign that becomes tourists' favourite and since it's by the lake, many stop by for a while. As you can see up there, the sign is pretty much popular.

We also visited Huka Falls and saw its amazing falls and the bush walk around it. The Falls is not that high but it's surely refreshing to see the sceneries and feel the mist from the falls.

 Before that, we also enjoyed the beautiful sceneries along the way from New Plymouth to Lake Taupo.

on our way to Taupo from New Plymouth

We then had a lovely lunch in the shrimp farm in the area and tried the Huka Falls Jet! Oh my, it was so much fun indeed! The shrimps we tried there were so fresh! Other food from the menus are also yummy. It's a bit pricey but I guess that's the price you have to pay for delicious, fresh-from-the-farm food.

On our way to Taupo, we took the forgotten highway, which actually lovely and beautiful, although it's longer route than the new highway. We took pictures in the middle of the route as it was only us LOL. It was quite an experience.

So, all in all, we truly enjoy Lake Taupo and the surrounding areas. Hopefully we can explore more and more places in Aotearoa.

 Join us on (almost) Wordless Wednesday and have fun with the link party!
