Sam and I dressed for a walk in the park. Thanks to Sam’s split second decision to accompany me I managed to see this spectacular place.

Tee, where is Hells Gate in NZ? Is it near Rotura? Is that where the sulphuric lake is? C’mon Gurl, Eduumicate me!
Hells Gate is actually in Roturua. Though I spent more time in Taupo, cos it was a bit less of a tourist trap. Taupo is also where I did my 15000 skydive, which rocked ad nauseum. The sulphuric lake pictured above was on White Island, which is an island off the north coast of the North Island of New Zealand. That place is worth doing, though it is pricey. Hope I’ve got you up to speed pleb! Trying to organise the Santa pub crawl for a weekend before Christmas. When you home?
