Fabulous Eats, Fantastic Times
Fabulous Eats, Fantastic Times
When yours is a family comprised of 3 children (aged 20, 17, 16) and two adults of varying gastronomical preferences (I’m from Borneo, he’s from Southern Italy),eating out can be quite the challenge. Particularly when it comes to special occasions – birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas Eve, that sort of thing. It’s usually my man who proposes a few options and together, we pick one. The problem…

What Would Sheela Wear: The Rainbow Lodge
What Would Sheela Wear: The Rainbow Lodge
A few days ago, I reviewed my 2013 resolutions (yes yes, I skipped a year) and documented my progress. Now, I’d like to talk about a less abstract objective, that being how I want my style to evolve this year. For one, there are a few things I swore I’d never try but (shudder) I shall in 2015.

Sunday 13th July
Our bus to Rotorua was at 10:50am, a nice touch from Rainbow Lodge was the free drop off at the bus stop when we left, buzzing on our free caffeine overdose. It was only an hours journey into Rotorua, white smoking hot pools of water were starting to appear randomly over the land. Of course joined by a power plant in the distance, but surely electricity produced from a never ending supply of thermal pools is a good thing right? We got dropped off at the busy i-Site where we walked 10 minutes to our hostel, Blarney’s Rock Backpackers.
We were sold on the promised free unlimited internet, the first hostel which hadn’t charged for it since we’d got to NZ. We got shown to our 5 bed mixed dorm room, which we noticed later on that evening was on a very obvious and disorientating slant. We even got to meet the spaced out, shoeless, Cannabis smoking Bob Marley hippie trying his absolute hardest to focus on one of those selling houses programs on TV. The company we have to keep for free internet!
No Bear Today
Yesterday, we saw a black bear running across the road in front of our car on our way to put in our canoe at the Sable Lake boat launch so we decided this morning to go looking for more bears running across roads or standing in the forest close enough to the road that we could see them without getting out of the car. I was momentarily put off hiking.
Other people might not be disturbed at seeing…
