Easter Holiday in New Zealand


March is a lovely time to visit New Zealand. We spent a week between Napier and Rotorua having plenty of fun in wineries and thermal areas. One was a delight to the senses, the other an amazing assault on the nose but awesome and fun all the same.

Napier is world famous for its art deco buildings as well as the many fine wineries surrounding the town. We had a delightful lunch at the oldest winery, the Mission Winery in its fine chapel eating area.

A walk on the Marine Parade to view the gardens and wild stony beach is also a favourite.


Rotorua, with its smell and thermal wonders is a must see for all tourists. Although the geyser needed some soap to start it going, it was spectacular. And the thermal pools and craters were both smelly and steamy.
