Today we travelled to Rotorua and stopped off at Hamilton gardens on the way through. They were excellent with loads to see, we could have spent all day here. We saw two sets of gardens, one was called Paradise gardens which was a collection representing classical styles from Japanese zen to American modern. The Indian garden was our fav. We also saw the productive gardens including a Maori inspired garden and a pretty decent kitchen garden. We arrived at Rotorua and found a capesite early on, then went exploring in search of a few haunts from our previous NZ visit including the Fat Dog and the Pig and Whistle! I had forgotten how much Rotorua stinks by the way. It's famous for its thermal activity which means it smells like rotting eggs! Thankfully this also gives us some great hot pools to bathe in and some fab spas to visit! It is also known for its strong Maori culture which is pretty apparent all over town.
