Wine Tasting at Westbook Winery and Hallertau Brewery in Auckland
December 9, 2011 By:
Good beer and wine was just not something that would enter my mind when I thought of New Zealand. I don’t know why. I think it goes back to living in London, and our Kiwi friends could be spotted drinking Steinlager, a watered down excuse for a beer.

The Buried Village, Rotorua
November 17, 2011 By:
Before the tragic earthquake in Christchurch earlier this year, it was New Zealand’s biggest natural disaster. 153 people estimated buried under mud, volcanic ash and falling rock spewing forth from the erupting Mt Terewaka on 10th June 1886. No wonder the Kiwis are the pioneers of activities that scare the wits out of you. They are used to living on the edge.

Rotorua – Something Special About This Evil Smelly Place

All I had ever heard about Rotorua before was that it was smelly. Smelly is right. The sulphurous vapour rises up your nostirils with each street corner you turn. Your nose slightly twitches upward in distaste before you pause to ponder the familiarity of the stench. Rotten egg or… … ten years being married to Craig Poor Savannah was getting blamed a lot of the time for having a stinky nappy, only
