The natural beauty in these photos is the purpose why I wanted to go to New Zealand. The nation-state is raw, pristine and lovely.

Waking as much as this view!

I am a morning man or woman really, even though I can morph without problems into an owl and live up the whole nighttime to dawn. But I have a tendency to wake up early, particularly once I am touring.

So I awoke early at the same time as sisterJ and Myrhh have been nonetheless snoozing. They slept on the pinnacle part of the campervan while I below, so I should freely do my personal stuff discretely without waking them up. I went in advance and set up the tenting table and chairs out of doors.

For breakfast, we can be consuming fresh culmination and empanadas we bought the evening earlier than on the Night Market in Rotorua. I changed into getting certainly hungry and didn't need to attend any longer, so I started out eating 1/2 of the pie, hehe.


We paid more for those tenting chairs and desk. It turned into well worth it.


There were a number of birds tweeting that morning. I woke up to them making a song me a tweety music.

After we had our breakfast we packed up and had been on the road once more. Our path is Lake Taupo, an hour and fifteen mins from Rotorua where we plan to discover the vicinity a piece and possibly have lunch as well.

We did not have actual plans set on stone, we were spontaneous, giving ourselves a few freedom to change anything inside the itinerary. In hindsight, possibly we had been too spontaneous.

Then we arrived at Lake Taupo!

We drove around to see a place wherein we ought to hold out. We were absolutely seeking out a pleasant cafe vicinity however as we drove around city, we couldn't discover anything. That turned into a piece strange.


Then we pass by way of this park at the lake and decided to force again and park. We desired to regroup and plan for our next stop. We were no longer feeling Lake Taupo that lots however wanted to stay at this park for a bit. It is also a very good excuse to stretch a chunk in education for the subsequent lengthy power.

As we have been playing the view whilst googling our route and the places in which we can forestall and spend the night over, we heard some noises down the road. We regarded out the window and noticed young men throwing soda cans and bottles on the floor. There become muddle. They have been pretty aggressive and we have been now not sure if they were beneath impact (read: alcohol and/or tablets).

The vintage girls sitting inside the picnic desk scurried returned to their automobile and drove away. The noises and aggression increase, so we knew it became time for us to depart asap as nicely!


We had a nice location to park beside a table and some benches, but this changed into shortlived.


We noticed some paragliding pastime in the skies... It was quite a sight due to the fact there had been quite a number of them falling down the skies in colourful balloons.
