My last trip in New Zealand! 😦 Extremely sad, but it was incredible! 😀
June 9th –
Kicked the trip off amazingly with a train ride with my pal and fellow TEAN’er, Evan from Wellington to Auckland! We left at 7:55 am and arrived around 7 pm. Yeah, it was a long ride but the view of the country side was worth it! Plus, now I can say I have taken a train through the North Island of New Zealand 😀
This past weekend I went on a road trip with some friends around the southern part of New Zealand’s North Island.
Our goals for the weekend: check out some Lord of the Rings filming sites, see some other incredible things, and have fun!
This past weekend I went to Rotorua with some fellow TEAN’ers!
Edited note: The entirety of Rotorua smells of Sulfuric Acid. Essentially it smells like one old big fart- but once you get used to the smell the place is pretty spectacular!
My fellow TEAN-Palmy friend, Ashley, and I decided to get the most out of our time there so we left on the 10:05 pm bus from Palmerston North which was scheduled to get into Rotorua at 3:40am on Friday… We didn’t have any set plans once we got dropped off because nothing was open for at least another 4 hours and we couldn’t check in to the hostel until 11am. So smart of a plan, right? But hey, we managed to explore the city in the very early morning!
