An absolute highlight of my recent trip to New Zealand for Chinese New Year, The Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland. NZ is famous for its volcanic and geothermal activity and there’s no better place to experience it than this, I’ve never seen anything like it. There are guided walk ways that take you around some Of New Zealand’s most active and most beautiful geothermal areas. The main feature is the champagne pool, a huge lake constantly bubbling and emitting overwhelming clouds of steam. The pool is quite shallow and you can see beautiful underwater detailing, also the range or colours in the mud and water around it is stunning. If you get close enough you can be surrounded by steam and experience the heat, id advise closing your mouth as the sulphur makes the experience very eggy. Follow the trails that you want to do, we did the two main trails and it took us under 2 hours. It was a very easy walk but it can be tough in the heat, so pack sun cream and water as there are no facilities along the route. I was amazed at the colours in the water and how different the thermal outlets can be, some made of mud, some are super hot water and others seem to just be tiny cracks in sheer rock. It was one of the pricier experiences on the trip but totally worth it! It also has a very nice gift shop and restaurant if you want to recharge after the walk Entrance fee is $45NZ / £22 It’s open 8:30 - 4:30 and last entry is 3PM ‼️ this is an active geothermal area and it can be very dangerous, please stick to the designated walk ways and don’t touch the water!! It can be very hot and very poisonous ‼️ #celebrateit #educational #travel #nature #nature #newzealand #science #thingstodo #naturalwonders

The MOTAT in Auckland is split across two sites, one for aviation and then this one for transport and technology. Set across various buildings it has everything from musical instruments, cars, trolley buses and one of the first water pumping systems in New Zealand. It’s a really interesting range of exhibitions and there really is something for everyone, it’s even interesting seeing examples of the first iPhones - seeing how much we have developed in just the last few years. There are originally pac man machines, early communication devices and concepts for low carbon technology. For me the most interesting part was the trolley buses and trams, they’re in immaculate condition and there’s a nice range of models in the sheds. Quite a few of them are in working condition and operate the short tram link to the aviation hall. Auckland used to be lined with tram routes back in the day and there’s a lot of information on this golden age of tram travel In some of the more interactive area such as the music hall there are staff in hand to help you better understand the exhibitions themselves. Entrance is around $19NZ / £8.50 and includes a free team ride to the other campus of the museum, the MOTAT aviation hall. However you have to pay a separate entrance fee when you reach the aviation hall ( it’s worth it, see my previous post) #celebrateit #myitinerary #thingstodo #travel #museums #citydaytours #transport #history #newzealandtrip #auckland #educational #cars

I recently visited New Zealand for Chinese New Year and during my time in Auckland I had a few days to check out all the museums and galleries. I’ve always been fascinated by aviation so had to visit the MOTAT aviation hall, and I was absolutely blown away. You’re greeted by a mounted spitfire at the entrance and then a very unassuming warehouse, as soon as you step through the door you can see the sheer scale of this building. There is a small entrance lobby, ticket office and gift shop then a huge warehouse full of beautifully restored aircraft both military and civilian. The warehouse is spaciously laid out and there’s a lot of educational content, I spent a lot of time reading and taking everything in. The overall visit took me 2 hours but if you don’t read everything you can do it in less than an hour. For me the flying boats were a highlight for me; it’s so hard to find these in museums especially ones so immaculately restored. It was also fascinating to learn so much about pacific island flying during the golden age of travel I would totally recommend this to families and anyone who has any interest in aviation or transport in general. It coats $19NZ / £8.50 and included a free tram ride to the other half of the campus, however you have to pay again to enter the other campus. #celebrateit #auckland #Motat #aviation #museums #educational #family #travel #thingstodo #myitinerary
