Weekend fun

We've had a weekend in Rotorua recently so thought I'd share a post of captioned photos of our time away to inspire you with our lovely New Zealand scenery. I also made a couple of crafty magazine discoveries.

1st stop : Brown Sugar Café - Taihape

Heading north - Desert Road and that lovely mountain

Morning view from our holiday accommodation : Lake Okareka/Rotorua

Good breakfast here at the Fat Dog Cafe 

Lovely Tui sculpture to admire while shopping

New Magazine discoveries at McLeods Booksellers

These 2 Dutch magazines are divine - full of lovely images, some good reading, and I'll be able to chop them up for beautiful additions to include in my journal when I've had my fill of reading. See more about Daphne's Diary HERE and Flow HERE. 

View of Lake Tarawera

The Green and Blue Lakes are very pretty if you catch them on a sunny day...
we didn't!

Eat Street - night time dining choices.

Good food and nice beer samplings for the boys at Brew
- craft beer award-winning bar

Walk in the Redwoods Forest

A fun walk

Beautiful bush

Lunch at Solace before we travelled home

It was a wonderful relaxing time.
