New Zealand North Island Part III
Part III - New Zealand Adventure Series : The North Island
The last two podcasts focused on the South Island, including Milford Sound, Mt Cook/Aorika, Queenstown, Kaikora Pennisula, Pancake Rocks and much more. My original plan was to spend one week exploring solo, join Active Adventures (one of my affiliates) on their two week 'Rimu' tour and then continue solo once more for my final week in New Zealand. However, I had so much fun with Active and my group, that once I found out that several of my tour-mates were going to catch the back half of Active's North Island 'Kauri' tour, I decided to scrap my plans (and prepaid accomodations and flight) and book the tour to join them. Best idea I've had in a while!
Many people just explore the South Island, but seriously, make the time to head north! It is completely different in landscape and feel, and isn't as crowded. It was the perfect finale to an EPIC holiday!

Visit Te Aroha, hike to Wairere Waterfall Our guides, Jo and Andy, picked us up in Auckland and we headed up the coast. After a short bit, we stopped in Te Aroha, a cute town famous for its soda waters and Mokena geyser. Jo said we were going to take a 'wee' hike. Her idea of 'wee' and mine are quite different, as the trail through the moss covered trees and over several bridged covered rivers was a bit steep. Well worth it when we reached the base of the Wairere Falls, where we were not only treated to a great view of the waterfall, but also a panoramic view of Auckland down below.
On our way down, we took a swim in a river to cool off, and while we saw several other hikers, we had the river to ourselves.
Once back in town, Jo fixed us a wonderful picnic lunch that we ate in the town square. Then we headed up to Rotorua, the spiritual home of the Maori people (the original people (tangata whenua) of the land who came over by canoe from Polynesia ). Rotorua is considered the heartland of the Maori people (pronounced something like MOUWRDEE, not MAYOREE, as you might think).
The town of Rotorua is ALIVE! And not just with folks on adventure on the land and lake: The tectonic plates below the surface have slid under each other and the steam vents from the soil all over the place! You'll see steam curling up someone's fence, or next to a garage, etc. It's cool and looks like a nuke bomb oddly went off sparing the people and the buildings. A bit surreal!
There are hot pools and mud pools all over the place along this lakeside town, then lake itself a collapsed caldera filled with water.
Mountain Bike Whakarewarewa Forest I step outside my comfort zone and go 'REAL' mountain biking in the Whakarewarewa Forest. We arrive at the bike rental shop that has a cool coffee food truck outside, so we can enjoy a cup while we are getting fitted for our bikes. Nice bikes. Very expensive bikes. Do they realize that my only experience mountain biking is on a $15 yard sale bike? Apparently not, so after our guide gives us instructions in the parking lot and we get to ride in circles, we head out to the equivalent of the 'Bunny Hill' for him to assess us. Our group does great and we quickly move up the skill level to intermediate.
The Whakarewarewa Forest is pretty close to Rotorua making for an easy to get to, fun outing! The forest features over 130 km of well-maintained trails for all skill levels. You can also hike and trail run these pretty well maintained paths suitable for beginners to expert. You can even bring your horse! Get a guide or a map and the trails intersect each other. This is world class for mountain bikers.
Te Puia Geothermals In the afternoon, we checked out Te Puia in the Te Whakarewarewa geothermal valley. I thought we saw a lot of steam in town - NOPE! THIS place has A LOT of steam. Plus mud pools, hot pools and geysers to boot. Interpretive signs help us to understand how come the land is erupting. Hot mud pools and natural baths are used by the Maori people (some of the really hot ones - over 200 degrees are off limits to non-Maori).
Back in town, if you have time, check out the Rotorua Museum to learn more about this land, its people and history. The architecture of the massive Swiss Tudor-like building looks a bit out of place in this town of steamy fissures. Maori Cultural Visit and Hangi (Traditional Pit Steamed Dinner) Be sure to take time to explore the fascinating Maori culture and the various tribes that came over by canoe from Polynesia in several waves from around 1250 -1300. They developed distinct language and traditions still practiced today.
While in Rotorua. attend a Meeting Hall ritual where you will experience a 'Welcome' offered to guests and the warrior dance. To intimidate guests, the warriors bulge their eyes and stick out their...
A place to call home
As the country comes to grips with the ongoing housing crisis, Maori landowners are finding their own solutions. The owners and trustees of Te Aro Pā are amongst those leading the way with a build of 14 papakāinga homes at Greta Point in Wellington.

NYSTV - Hierarchy of the Fallen Angelic Empire w Ali Siadatan - Multi Language
Chronologically, after the fall of Adam, the fallen angels procreated with humans to create a genetic hybrid that was an unsanctioned creation from God.
These Giants took over the world and were made the rulers of kingdoms. The Enlilship as it was called.
This is where Ali's talk begins. The nephilim (hybrids) took positions of power and created all the false religions of the world.
They reinvented themselves as the gods of old. Zeus, Aphrodite, Baal, Shiva, etc...
They especially like to be associated as moon or sun gods.
To this day, the Fallen Angel Hybrids hold all the key positions of power. We don't call them fallen angel hybrids, we call them the illuminati.
Another in depth discussion by Ali Siadatan, whose topics of expertise include Fallen Angel Genealogy, Ancient pre flood history, the Illuminati, End Times Prophecy, Modern History, Ancient Aliens, UfOs and a lot more.

NYSTV - Reptilians and the Bloodline of Kings - Midnight Ride w David Carrico Multi Language
Reptilians have been around for a while. Queztol Quatal was the feathered serpent that led the meso American Empires for example.
So the main prevailing theory on reptilians is that they are seraphim angels who, because they lost the grace of God, lost their angelic forms and changed into what we know today as reptilians. Seraphim actually means fiery serpent.
These fallen angels reinvented themselves as the gods of old. Poiseden, Zeus, Shiva, Baal, Zoraster, etc... and ruled openly as gods for a thousand years.
Then they went underground, starting multinational corporations and are ready to reemerge publicly in their new reinvention of themselves, our alien saviours.
Fallen Angels to False gods to aliens. That pretty much sums up world history.
(something interesting I found out is that every language has a word for reptilian).
Join Jon Pounders and David Carrico as they talk about subjects only found at NYSTV.
