Rotorua has a slight whiff of rotten eggs from the sulphur in the active volcano, which last erupted in 2015.
We then went to a Māori evening which was brilliant fun, learning a few Māori traditions including the haka, traditional singing & dancing performance, followed by a traditional meal with duck, lamb & beef in the menu.Read more
