    Top of the world in Rotorua

    Despite being only three and a half hours south of Auckland, a trip to Rotorua is something of the level of an “overseas holiday” for us,  in terms of the excitement that the children hold. We went there last year closer to springtime and this year went in mid-June in the depths of New Zealand…
