New Zealand's Deep South - The Catlins & Milford Sound
I decided I need to to see the very south of New Zealand's South Island. The most practical way for me to do this was to take a tour.
This 2 day tour took me through The Catlins on day one. We got to see amazing coast line (like Nugget Point) and waterfalls (like Purakaunui Falls). Day 2 took us out to Milford Sound. Despite the rain and my seasickness, it was beautiful.
I booked my tour through Headfirst Travel and actually on day 2 we met up with the Kiwi Experience bus to see Milford Sound. So, I feel like I got to see what the Kiwi Experience bus would have been like if I decided to take that route instead of my public bus. Hah!
Much love and happy travels

Discover Waitomo Glowworm Caves | New Zealand
Discover the Waitomo Glowworm Caves, New Zealand's natural highlight.
World renowned and a magnet for both local and overseas visitors, the Waitomo Glowworm Caves occupy a high placing in the New Zealand vacation wish-list.
The glow worm, Arachnocampa luminosa, is unique to New Zealand. Thousands of these tiny creatures radiate their unmistakable luminescent light as our expert guides provide informative commentary on the Caves' historical and geological significance.
Waitomo Glowworm Caves are a must see for any traveller. Enjoy the world famous boat ride under thousands of magical glowworms and become a part of over 120 years of cultural and natural history.
Ruakuri Cave is Waitomo's longest underground guided walking tour.
According to Maori legend, Ruakuri Cave (rua meaning den, and kuri meaning dog) was first discovered 400-500 years ago by a young Maori hunting for birds. He was attacked by wild dogs just outside the original cave entrance. Re-opened in 2005, this cave is now an amazing example of engineering and natural cave structure.
Ruakuri Cave offers a captivating blend of Waitomo's most compelling subterranean experiences. Journey down through the spectacular spiral entrance, and marvel at the softly folding shawl-like limestone formations and crystal tapestries. Hear the distant thunder of the subterranean waterfalls and get up close to the glowworms.
With clever and innovative design, Ruakuri Cave has full wheelchair and pushchair access.
Aranui Cave is set in the Ruakuri Scenic Reserve, 5 minutes drive from the Waitomo Glowworm Caves. It is named after Ruruku Aranui, the local Maori man who first discovered this previously hidden gem back in 1910.
Aranui Cave has a natural cave entrance and is the smallest and most delicate of Waitomo's three main caves. As a dry cave without a river running through it, it houses very little life past its entrance.
However, just inside the entrance is a colony of native New Zealand cave wetas and further into the cave is the most beautiful collection of stalactites, stalagmites, flowstones and decorative formations.

Action och galna upplevelser i Rotorua - Nya Zeeland VLOGG
I den här vloggen är familjen i staden Rotorua. Den ligger i en vulkanisk zon med geotermisk aktivitet och gejsrar vilket länge lockat till sig turister som vill bada i naturliga källor. Det har gjort att en hel industri med action aktiviteter byggts upp och här finns en adventure park bakom varje hörn. Vi testar flera galna upplevelser under en dag full med action, adrenalin och skratt.
Vi börjar dagen på OGO Rotorua där Alma, Harry, mamma Joanna och pappa Axel rullar ner för backar i stora uppblåsbara bollar med vatten. Otroligt kul! Vi hade inte kunnat få en bättre start på dagen. Tack OGO!
Sedan åker vi till Te Puia, ett center för Maurikultur där Harry lär sig att göra en krigsdans, en Haka.
Pohutu geyser sprutar vatten och ånga. Vi tittar på kokande lera och förundras över att folk vill bada i den. Det blir inget lerbad för oss, men en lerinpackning i en mineral pool på Polynesian Spa. Efter det flyger hela familjen vindtunnel, Freefall Xtreme, på Velocity Valley sedan gungar vi i den galnaste gungan, The Swoop Giant Sky Swing.
Joanna tycker att det kan vara hennes utmaning, som Axel gav henne efter att han hoppade från ett torn i Auckland. Men det tycker inte resten av familjen. Vi avslutar vloggen på en utkiksplats mellan två sjöar, den gröna och den blå. Vi glömde att svara på Dagens Fråga i den här videon men vi lovar att svara i nästa vlogg så fortsätt att ställa frågor till oss. Andra kommentarer är givetvis också välkomna. Lämna gärna en tumme upp eller ner så att vi vet vad du tycker om den här videon.
