Honeymoon Adventure to New Zealand and Australia

Good morning Albert!

Our honeymoon went perfect outside of the croc express so really can’t complain about that. Rotorua was probably our favorite city because of the location and how walkable the city was. We went to see the redwood forest and did all the hot springs spas. Waimangu volcanic valley was amazing and looked like it was out of Jurassic park. If we had to do it again we would probably do all New Zealand for 2.5 weeks because we had to move so much. Australia was also amazing. You guys did a great job planning out trip!
