North Island NZ in 2 Days: The Legendary "Jade Pools"

🗓️ Itinerary: Auckland City Walk → Hobbiton → Rotorua → Geothermal Parks → Waitomo Glowworm Caves 🔥 Day 1-2 Highlights 1️⃣ Wai-O-Tapu Geothermal Park "Jade Pool" = surreal AF! 🤯 Eggy sulfur smell + bubbling mud = straight-up alien vibes. 2️⃣ Auckland Queen Street: Pigeon chaos 🕊️ + cheap Lululemon (with sweet staff!). Parks: Unexpectedly gorgeous! 🌳 3️⃣ Waitomo Glowworm Caves Overhyped alert 🚨: "Just... LED bulbs in a dark cave?" 😐 No photos (too busy curing my neck pain on the boat ride). 💥 Final Verdict: NZ in February = STUNNING (even if I’m fully瘫 on this flight home). But let’s be real—ANYTHING is worth it when you’re NOT working! 🙃 #NorthIslandNZ #AucklandDiaries #RotoruaMagic #Hobbiton #GeothermalWonders
