Will not forget the flight in; those were some strong winds, fitting for the Windiest City on Earth. I like that you showed your itinerary. It will definitely help when I plan my trip. Thanks for sharing. The Auckland to Welling road trip indeed has all the trappings of an epic trip. The stops have something unique to offer.
So many places, I am sure one would never feel the drive to be long or tedious. Some of my favourite and must visit places here would be Hobbiton, Stonehenge, and Rotorua, these places look spectacular, I am sure the experiences are to be cherished for a long, long time. You did pick some of the best spots, although the Army museum caught me by surprise, being far more interesting than I expected.
Funnily enough, I was just looking into visiting NZ one day and then I came across your blog. NZ looks like a beautiful country, so doing this road trip is certainly the best way to explore the country.
I like how many details you provide to the visitors. Thank you for all the ideas! Yes, New Zealand is beautiful. There is a lot more to New Zealand than just this portion of the North Island.
Many of the most beautiful spots are on the South Island. Or that you did the whole drive with just one toilet stop the first time! The glow worm caves look amazing, as you say actually there is more here than on a simple road trip — this is a whole holiday in itself!
Just to let you know Rhonda, I may no longer be able to write my blog. LOL See ya. I also had no idea NZ exported so much water from this Blue Spring. The exportation of water has become a political thing lately.
I am not sure it will continue forever. Wow, what a trip. Every time you show me great pictures of New Zealand, I just want to go. See ya Rhonda. One day Paul, I will have you convinced. There are ships that come here. In fact, we are sailing from LA to Auckland next month. New zealand is really a fab place for a road trip. We drove from Auckland to Wellington stopping at Rotorua and Lake Taupo on the way, but your fab post and different itinerary suggestions made me realise there is so much more to see and do!
I wish I had this post about six years ago when I made this exact drive! Of the places you mentioned, I went to Waitomo, Taupo, and Rotorua.
This is still one of my favorite trips of all time. Same here, I wish we had done the research and made the interesting drive years ago. We have just gone straight through too many times. Ooh the Karangahake gorge looks amazing.
For a tiny little country, New Zealand really packs in quite a bit. Hamiliton looks and sounds like a great place to stop! Everything on her does, to be honest! I can imagine that NZ is like living in a fantasy world because everything looks awesome!! So many great options on the trip to choose from. Would love to do Taihape and Stonehenge? The variety on the trail seems amazing.
Thanks for sharing! Exactly right, the variety is amazing, and if you allocated enough time you can do it all. The Stonehenge is not a replica, but rather a purpose-built stone circle. New Zealand sounds like a great place to see some quirky sights.
I love all the names of places in the town of Bulls. I also like the corrugated tin artwork, for I have never quite seen that. The blue waterfall at Taupo looks amazing? Are there many hot springs to visit in New Zealand? The geothermal region of Rotorua, Taupo and everywhere in the middle is filled with hotsprings, plus there are some on the South Island.
New Zealand has such a wonderful nature. Waitomo Glow Worms Cave looks absolutely stunning! Thanks for the Wanderlust! Your email address will not be published.
