New Zealand in a nutshell

Just got home from North Island in New Zealand for a 6 day trip. Absolutely exhausted and we only managed to visit Auckland and the central part. Perhaps next time when I plan on going to the south island, a much longer time is available!

Best hotel : Lake Taupo Motor Inn (although we did book in for the luxury suite :P)
Worst hotel : Waitomo Caves Hotel (extremely run down, not to mention that we found out it's haunted the day before we departed! :S) And oh, Executive on Fenton didn't provide the best service despite having really nice rooms.

Best activity : Black Water Rafting in Waitomo - extremely fun! And boy, the glow worms really do look like stars in the sky! And we loved Mt Tarawera walk with Jude. She was the best! :D
Worst activity : Wai-O-Tapu Geothermal - the most commercialized of all the geothermals, but the least impressive

Best meal : Huhu Cafe in Waitomo. Definitely the best! Lonely Planet definitely hasn't failed me here.
Worst meal : Can't remember.... nothing was that bad.

That's it for now! Will update soon.

For now, it's work for a week before I head home *YAY!*
And then we're off to Bali for a week *double YAY YAY!!*
