Place Review: Wairarapa, New Zealand





Destination: Copthorne Hotel and Resort Solway Park (it's a long name I know)                                                                                                                
Some facilities: 
Games room, gym, indoor and outdoor pool and jacuzzi                                     
What I liked:
Outside the hotel was one thing that really stood out to me. There's a beautiful archway, surrounded by green and a couple of flowers blooming. There's also a tennis court, and when we came, it was the perfect weather to play tennis! I really liked outside. It's one of those places where you can read a book in peace.

The swimming pool (the indoor one) was luckily heated, because outside for the whole duration of our trip was numbingly cold! We were practically stiff popsicle sticks when we stepped out of the hotel. Right next to the swimming pool is the gym, which is super convenient, because then you wouldn't have to meander the whole hotel just to workout! There was plenty of space to swim, because it stretches at just the right length.

The hotel room was really comfortable, with a cozy warm bath tub, and of course, one of my favourite places on Earth; the bed!

Overall, this was a great hotel for long and short stays when you travel to Masterton.





                                                                                                            
And for those of yall who want to see what happened...


yup... that's what happened.

Destination: Castlepoint Lighthouse
What I liked:
The view was definitely spectacular. The overlook on top of the beach was so epic. The weather made it a hundred times better, the skies were cleared... *sigh. It was just pure perfection. But before we went to see the
lighthouse a bit more up close and snap a few photos, we went to eat some fish and chips at a shop in Castlepoint. The food was actually way better than I expected it to be.







Destination: Molewood Orchard (Greytown)

What I liked:
I did not expect to find so much apples that were in the most fresh state. We tried an apple and it was perfectly sweet! And some more, it was the last time to apple-pick at Molewood, and there was loads of apples. It was a very fun experience for a first timer.

Recreating K-Pop Demon Hunters Ramyeon!!! (DIY Craft Project)

  *AGGRESSIVE SLURP OF PRE-GAME RAMYEON As you can tell, this blog post needs more... explaining to do.  I'll do exactly that. Picture this, me in my comfortable PJs, a few days after I've watched KPop Demon Hunters, and so obsessed to the point where I have learnt the Soda Pop dance, with nothing to do or to even given a sign that I've watched the show in my blank white room. I thought  Should I do something, and if yes, how?.  I run through things that I could possibly do... Buy merch of KPop Demon Hunters Do nothing because I can't be bothered to or...  I recall the pre-game ramyeon that Huntrix ate before kicking demon butt. It's a picture of them individually but in a more cartoonish style.  What if I... remade it into physical cup noodle form? I did a bit of researching, and eventually I came across a platform that sells homemade gifts and things. That's right, I'm talking about Etsy. From Etsy I saw a deal that was for $7.66 EACH, and it was just for...

Lake Taupo Holiday Resort, and a review Location: Taupo (4.5 hour drive from Wellington)  PHOTOS!! ('cause why not?) Entrance to LTHR This is me on a go kart! AND the iconic "#LOVETAUPO" sign, me standing on  the "U" Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious amenities:  Go karts, waterslides, pool (with a  BAR in it), tennis court, mini golf, gaming room, beach volleyball, jumping pillow and bike rentals Facilities: kitchens, picnic area, BBQ areas, camping grounds and campervans Hydroslides What I liked: The Hydroslides had some great features. It had lights inside, so it made the experience even more enjoyable. It also had a stoplight at the entrance when it's your turn to slide down the long snake of a waterslide. My family and I booked a slot for the camping ground, and luckily, the weather conditions were not so bad. LTHR made camping so much more fun, especially with just a short walking distance to the amenities. It was pretty easy to camp, since the easily-...
