Rotorua - New Zealand

My first post is about New Zealand in Oceania. It is about 11 hours by Air New Zealand from Japan to Auckland. The color of the airplanes are black because this country has a very strong rugby team Whose color is black. Someone said, “Black is the sacred color of the indigenous people. The ALL BLACKS (Rugby team) is black. Let's make the airplane black too!”. And the airplane has paint of a Silver Fern. This is a holy plant of the indigenous people too.

In 2014, I traveled 6 cities (Auckland, Hamilton, Waitomo, Taupo, Rotorua and Tauranga) with a backpack by hitchhiking and riding Bus. I like all towns, but Rotorua is my favorite because Rotorua has a lot of hot springs. Please look at the pictures. We can see the steam of the hot springs and smell sulfur anywhere in the town. This town has commercial hot spring facilities, but most people  don't go there. So where do they go? People go to the free natural hot springs. Please look at the picture again! I went to 3 natural hot springs. They are in the forest and in a park! Hot spring is so just good feeling.

 

Other cities are good too because New Zealand has a lot of untouched nature. This country is so good if you want to live a life that time forgot. Nature and animals heal you.
