☁️ Slow Travel in Taupō: Brunch, Waterfalls & a Golden Glow 🌿🌞

#summervacay No alarms today. Just the sun peeking through the window and the promise of a day with no rush. 1️⃣ Start slow with a lakeside brunch in Taupō Stir cafe — think fluffy pancakes, flat white, and that crisp New Zealand air. ☕🥞 2️⃣ Then it’s off to Huka Falls, where 220,000 liters of turquoise water thunder past every second. The sound, the mist, the power — it’s nature’s version of a standing ovation. 💧🌈 3️⃣ Next, wander through the Craters of the Moon, a surreal geothermal valley of steaming earth, bubbling mud, and lunar-like landscapes. Feels like walking on another planet… one with a heartbeat. 🌋🚶♀️ 4️⃣ And to end it all? Find a quiet spot by the lake or a hilltop — and watch the sun melt into golden light. No edits needed. Just gratitude. #tauposlowtravel #hukafallsmagic #cratersofthemoonnz #goldenhourglow #newzealandbrunchvibes #naturemeetsluxury #geothermalwonder #wanderslowly #mindfultravelmoments #nzdreamday

Huka Falls, a famous waterfall on New Zealand's North Island

Huka Falls

I went to New Zealand's North Island. Cathedral Cove in Coromandel was amazing with its beautiful scenery. (The first photo shows a 30-minute hike to the coast, but the nature is so beautiful it cleanses the soul and the air is so fresh that the time flies! New Zealand's traffic rules are roughly the same as Japan's, so it's easy to drive even if you rent a car. However, each location is far away, so it took about 2-3 hours to get from one place to the other. There are mountain roads on the way to Coromandel, so I recommend driving during daylight hours. The third and fourth photos show Waitomo Caves, where the caves are mysterious and there are tours available, so I recommend it. The fifth photo shows Huka Falls, a beautiful waterfall. Wherever you go, the nature is so beautiful and magnificent that it helped to soothe your worries and make you forget all about your worries.)
