Rotorua - The Sulphur City #traveloguenz

Rotorua

Rotorua is a major destination for tourists . It is known for its geothermal  activities , and features natural geysers at many places . The tourists can opt to relax in hot mud pools too at few spots .

Almost everywhere in Rotorua , you can smell sulphur in the air and there are some bubbling hot steam points where it becomes difficult even to stand nearby bearing  steam and sulphur . That’s why the place is commonly known as ‘The Sulphur city

Rotorua  is a part of volcanic zone actually and as per Google I was expecting to see some natural geysers where boiling hot water keeps gushing  out of earth with very high energy . The water goes vertically straight upward upto quite a great height . But my bad luck you can say that I didn’t witness any such geyser , but I did see  hot pools every here and there .Rotorua

 

Fun & Adventure in Rotorua

There are some fun adventure activities also which you can do in Rotorua i.e. Gondola and Luge. Initially  I was hesitant to try Luge but I when I did it , I found it to be so thrilling that I wanted to do it again and again . If you wanna know what Luge is you can see here .

Coming back after the fun Luge

On reaching  the top of the hill in Gondola ,I  enjoyed  the nature’s artistic  view of the Rotorua city and the lake .

Apart from this you can see the Rotorua museum too which showcases many exhibitions and the Maori culture .

A letter to my Kitchen

 Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen    Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .  It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job   in  just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember ho...

Why do I write ?

 I have been writing a blog for the last five years and many times people question me why do i write . Well ! I don't have an exact answer . But whenever someone has asked me this question ' Why do you write ?' i have answered in the form of some question only like 'Why do you go shopping ?' or 'Why do you love to  go  on vacation?'  Actually the basic answer is that it feels good . It makes me happy , contented and also a little proud of myself . The feeling when i boasted about being an author is incomparable . May be you don't read me but I keep writing for myself - to reflect on my life experiences and learn from them. Earlier i used to feel depressed when people didn't read me but now it's just between me and my blog . Writing  helps me connect to my creative side and helps increase my vocabulary also. Writing provides an escape when reality becomes too complex. I like to write because it allows me to focus on a subject  and helps me relieve...

How are you feeling today ? Energetic , Stagnant or bored ? 2. Right now , are you thinking about today , yesterday or tomorrow ?  Remember today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday . Yesterday is gone . That was past . Learn from your past but don't let the past disturb you in the present or hinder your growth in the future . 3.

Sometimes we  have a tendency not to boast or talk good about ourselves even when we have accomplished something . The way you talk about yourself makes an impact. Always speak  empowering words about yourself, "Whenever you think of beautiful ...
