More sheep than people


Once upon a time, I visited New Zealand for a week. Though it was winter in NZ, it was still quite beautiful. One of the most active places in the world, NZ has so many sites to see! I only got to see 10%, I am going back, that’s for sure.

Top of my list?

Rotorua Geysures Park

The sulfur makes the park smell like rotten eggs, but you get to see hot water spray out of the ground at an alarming speed. You can cross a cute bridge over a bubbling pond, soak in naturally warm pools, and peer into holes in the ground filled with boiling mud. The park is beautiful, filled with flowers, and worth your time. Rumour has it, due to a minor earthquake in Rotorua back in the 90’s, some people were left with steam coming out of the ground in their backyards.

Agrodome Sheep show

Yes that’s right, sheep show. Who knew that learning about sheep could be so fun. The sheep show takes place indoors, in a lecture hall format. The seats face what appears to be a sheep farm. The highlights? Getting to bottle-feed lambs!!! How utterly adorable they were!

What I remember most…

Sheep are like squirrels over there – you can find them in a local park. Flowers are everywhere, even in the winter months. Last but not least, I had the freshest and tastiest mutton I've ever eaten! yummm.

I can’t wait to go back and see the glow-in-the-dark cave worms in Waitomo! Or go zip lining! so many things to do, so little time...
