Are you an adventurer and want to explore one of the most unique and vastly underrated countries in the world? Mountains, beaches, great history and friendly locals are what the Bay of Islands in New Zealand have to offer when visiting. Lying in the South-West Pacific, New Zealand consists of two main island. The North Island and the South Island. Along the North island runs a mountain range with rolling farmland. The central North Island is dominated by the Volcanic Plateau, an active volcanic area. The South Island consists of farmland and flat plains
One of New Zealand's famous attractions is the result of the island sitting on two tectonic plates. Because of the constant shift in these plates, New Zealand gets a lot of geological action. The Pohutu Geyser is one of the most iconic tourist attractions, erupting up to 20 times a day and shooting up 100 feet in the air, according to travel site, newzealand.com. Some other spectacular geothermal areas include the popular hot springs. Rotorua is the hub for all of the geothermal action, housing mud pools, geysers, and hot springs. The health benefits of the hot springs are what attract most tourists to the part of Rotorua. These benefits include
- treating skin rashes
- eczema
- arthritis
- digestive disorders.
Because of the vast landscapes ranging from mountains, to beaches, to rolling hillsides; there are hundreds of activities to enjoy! One fun and crazy thing tourists love to do is go spelunking through the caves. With some of the most challenging and intricate cave systems in the world, according to tourism.net, this activity makes for a great adventure that you can't do back at home!
With all of the unique attractions and landscapes New Zealand has to offer, this trip is at the top of my bucket list! There are hundreds of activities for everyone's interests. Adventure, art, history, relaxation, and more! I'm planning my next trip here, The Bay of Islands in New Zealand, are you?

This is a great writing. Olivia used italics in a manner that complemented the reading. However, there were no bolds or colors. The images complemented the writing. She used an unordered list. It should not have a period at the end of it unless the items in the list complete a sentence, which they do not.
ReplyDeleteThe images you chose are beautiful. Your list was appropriately unordered. I think that headings might have broken up the text somewhat to make it more readable. The headings may have been a great place to incorporate a little color in your text.
ReplyDeleteHi Olivia,
ReplyDeleteVery well done! I enjoyed your choice of travel destination. I would've enjoyed some bold headers in your post for a nice eye gaze pattern but I do love the format you chose. I love the images you chose, beautiful! Your unordered list complemented your work as well.
