🇳🇿 New Zealand Road Trip Stop #3: Rotorua – Where Earth Breathes! 🌋

🌧️ Mood: "Rain couldn't stop our geothermal love affair!" 📍 The Vibe: "Rotorua" = "Crater Lake" in Māori (and the sulphur scent definitely announces it! 🥚💨 Born from a volcanic eruption 200,000 years ago, now a surreal turquoise-green wonderland. Fun Fact: The "rotten egg" smell = natural hydrogen sulphide – your free spa detox! 😉 ♨️ Hot Spring Mission: Braved the rain for Polynesian Spa (voted World's Top 10 Thermal Spas 7 years running!). Soaking in 40°C mineral waters while drizzle tickled our noses = next-level cozy. 🧖✨ 🐄 Roadside Therapy: Rolling green hills dotted with blissed-out cows & sheep (NZ’s best free show!). Pro Tip: Stop at Kuirau Park for FREE foot baths if short on time! #NZRoadTrip #RotoruaMagic #GeothermalHeaven #WinterInNZ #SulphurSpa #POVYoureInMiddleEarth
