Home to the elusive kiwis, the place where the epic ‘LOTR’ movie series was shot, I spent my September in 2011 drifting around in beautiful New Zealand. It was a short trip lasting merely 10 days, and all of it was spent on North Island, particularly Rotorua and Taupo.
It all began when a free-spirited friend of mine called Jessica, quit her teaching job to take up a half-year work and travel permit in New Zealand. She invited me to join her and so I jumped at the chance.
Here's a photo of her that I took while we were on the road.
How to go: There were airfare promotions ongoing at that time, so I managed to book return flights to Auckland on
Jetstar.com for less than S$500, and bought a
Nakedbus bus passport for 5 trips (cost about S$150) to travel from Auckland to Tauranga central.
