Lady Knox Geyser, Rotoroa Hot Pools, New Zealand - One of the things that you will notice the most when visiting Rotoroa is the distinct ‘rotten egg’ smell that fills the air. This smell is actually sulphur and comes from the famous hot pools situated south of the town. Before visiting the hot pools however, the other key attraction of Rotoroa is the Lady Knox Geyser. Originally discovered by prisoners clearing forest land to build a new prison, it stands to this day erupting once...

Cornish Pasty In New Zealand? Oh Yes! - Whilst browsing the bustling night markets of Rotoroa (Highly recommended!) I couldn’t help but stumble across this stall which as you can imagine definitely caught my eye! Who would have thought, traveling to the other side of the world a Cornishman would stumble across a pasty! After chatting to the stall owner, he has been living in New Zealand for over 7 years after originally coming from Redruth! The pasty itself was made by a woman from...

Okere Falls Visit, New Zealand - Whilst on route to Taupo from Rotorua, we by chance stopped by these amazing waterfalls and river known as Okere Falls. A short 20 minute walk around the falls told the story of the site where New Zealand’s first hydro electric power station was built! I could see why, the sheer power of the water cascading down the falls would have created an incredible amount of power for the surrounding downs. Whilst there we were also lucky to see some brave souls...

New Custom Blog Background - Figuring that having my ugly mug spralled across my blog background previously, I decided I needed a change! So whom better to ask than my very talented sister Hayley to design one for me. The brief was simple, create a collage of both London and Cornwall pics and merge them together. I’m really happy with the end result and think it looks great uploaded. Be sure to share a like/follow on my sisters blog here -...

Lemon And Paeroa Bottle Shrine In Paeroa, New Zealand - Another Kiwi icon to sample was there most famous soft drink, Lemon and Paeroa. Now I’ve been told the Paeroa is mineral water taken from springs found in Paeroa and when mixed with lemon, add heaps of sugar and carbonated water and you got yourself a pretty refreshing soft drink! So whilst on a long drive down to Waitomo to see the caves, we drove through the town of Paeroa and though and behold, there was a huge bottle shrine dedicated...

Around Mission Bay, New Zealand - My first taste of a Kiwi beach and I wasn’t disppointed. We visited Mission Bay which is about 15/20 minutes outside of Auckland city centre. On a gorgeous, hot sunny day it was great to walk along the beach and to just smell that sea air. Hey I could easily get used to having this on my doorstep all over again! It’s kind of like living in Cornwall if you squint your eyes really...
