Family Time in Rotorua New Zealand

We are now sitting in our beautiful city apartment in Auckland, New Zealand.

We are absolutely loving New Zealand.

Kalyra can’t stop exclaiming how much she loves New Zealand and her little travelling spirit is in joy every day. Funny how the tantrums have almost dried up since we arrived.

Rotorua was an intensely spiritual and cultural place that is so unique in it’s geothermal landscape. I  could have stayed there for another week, there is so much to enjoy and experience.

My talk to the Australian Travel Writers Conference went really well. They were a friendly crowd who were super eager to learn more about blogging. I LOVED it!

Here are a few photos from our time in Rotorua.

      The hot springs were divine. So disappointed we didn’t have time for a massage after it.
      The talk went really well and was lots of fun. I loved it! I think I had only one person falling asleep in the crowd LOL 🙂

    Loving all your NZ photos. My dad spent ten years living north of Auckland so a lot of my teenage school holidays where spent travelling around the north island with him. It’s a fabulous place so I’m not surprised Kalyra is having a fantastic time. Even better that she’s being well behaved!

      Loving that she is well behaved. We are happy to always follow through with that preventative method of controlling behaviour! Would love to explore more of NZ
