Leaving the beautiful lodge at an early hour this morning, I hit the road with a quick stop at Taupo - a town where you can see money has been spent - lovely houses surround a huge lake. Mount Doom from LOTR in the distance looks nice in the sunshine too ;-) Rotorua appears nice and the powerful eggy smell doesn't bother me at all, must be all those egg sandwiches I took to school, either way think the smell is clearing my sinuses up a treat! Things turned a little quirky when during my visit to Hobbiton, which was delightful, my straight Auckland host contacted me to say my room was not in fact available but that he was ok with me sharing his bed with him. Unauthordox maybe but then this is New Zealand lol. My room in Rotorua is just like an American motel you see in movies where you could have an illicit encounter with the local waitress while the wife stays at home, at least the sheets are clean though. I finished the evening along the theme of flying solo (as in being the sole occupant of my previous accommodation) by having a tasty meal in the hotel restaurant where I was the sole diner. I mean I know it's end of season but seriously? ;-) Looking forward to some glow worm cave action tomorrow and hopefully a good night sleep for a change tonight...

Barry Brooks Hobbit Homes- coming from Canvey your used to that (Dutch cottages) Looks like your still having fun. ;-)
ryanedwards I do like a cottage!
Paul Perhaps your blue hair scared the other tourists away.
Elspeth Fanackerpan I hold my breath until after you've spent the night with the cute str8 uni student. Whatever happens, don't fall in love with!
Roger Are you sure the strong egg smell is a Rotorua thing and not you? Maybe that's why you're always on your own there...
Roger Speaking of eggs, oof, I'm a martyr to my bowels...
ryanedwards Outrageous...Elspeth, as if I would!
David Well Ryan you must have met a geyser in Rotorua! The Prince of Wales produces a real ejaculatory display, and they throw in a few fit Maori guys as well!
ryanedwards Well David, I did seem some hot steam jets coming out of the ground...
