I arrived in Rotorua as the first stop on my New Zealand trip, and the first thing that hit me was the sulphur smell. You do get used to it after a while though.

The thing I enjoyed most about Rotorua and the surrounding area was the Maori culture. I know a lot of it is purely for tourist’s benefit, but I enjoyed looking at the arts and crafts and examples of the traditional way of life.

I also enjoyed the Thermal Park and the Skyline gondola and luge run was a lot of fun too :)
