We had to find a good rythm to travel the first days, but now we seem to have find a good balance between wanting to see a lot ( hence drive some more) and keeping the kids satisfied (read beach and playtime). One of our first highlights was cathedral cove near hahei beach. A 45 minute walk to a Thailand/krabi like rockformation in the sea. I wont try to explain, see for yourself :

From there we decided to go down directly toRotorua, the geothermal capital of new zealand. Boiling mudpools, hot water beaches, geysers, and as Tanne says: “the smell of eggs”.

We also, learnt interesting things about Maori culture, allthough we had to convince tanne and inse these Maori are not always mad… The big eyes and tongues out is just a part of the haka to scare the enemy off 🙂

We decided to skip hobbiton and waitomo glowworms cave. A hard decision, but they were either too expensive or too far away. Sorry to all the hobbit and lotr fans… But we added Kiwi360 ! Yeah, we now know everything about the kiwi’s you eat…
