It must be the unfortunate residual 12-yr old in me, but I have always found this town's name amusing.
Passed through here on the bus from Rotorua on Tuesday. This is the kiwifruit capital of New Zealand (and the world, as their welcome sign announces).
I remember passing through this town with another gal when I was here last, looking for work in the kiwifruit orchards. We had just missed pruning season, however, and moved along.
The other photo is from several days previous at the "place with the awesome hot tub beside the ocean" as I call it. Owner of that lodging has a big kiwifruit orchard across the way so we plucked a few straight from the vine. Kiwi Gold indeed..
