 Radiators by ATXtraveler
On a serious note, if you do go down into the basement of the Rotorua Museum, make sure you are careful, as the pipes were not designed to have tall people work on them.

I didn't just get food poisoning, but also contracted a kind of bacteria which is found in soil (so, I imagine whoever prepared my meal at the restaurant hadn't washed their hands enough).
The meal came fast (so could have been pre cooked) and wasn't very hot (maybe microwaved to an insufficiently high temperature to kill the germs which must have already been there) - and I should have sent the food back to the kitchen, but it wasn't very cold, and I thought it would be ok.
Never again. Chicken, Fish, Pork, are all dangerous meats when it comes to food poisoning.
The result of this meal was, within hours, stomach cramping which gets steadily worse, 'the runs' (for which tablets won't fix) and then, scariest of all, internal bleeding.
A few hours later, I was rushed to hospital. It was only Day 3 of my 2 week NZ holiday adventure, but the rest of the holiday was spent there in the Rotorua hospital.
My husband even took a photo of me in the Emergency room (because it was all just so unreal and he didn't think people at home would believe what had happened without the photo - but I'm not sharing it, sorry!)
I had this wonderful view from my window...but it was several days before I was off the drip and able to even sit up enough to see out....The moral of the story is, wherever you go, if you get a meal that isn't totally hot or doesn't seem totally cooked - send it straight back.
What I got (a relative of Cholera) could have killed me (luckily they didn't tell me that till I was home, recuperating for a month and not even allowed to go to work and do my non-active desk job) so don't take the risk. Leave a Comment

This is not exactly a danger tip,
Just be aware though that if you have Silver Jewellery, it may pay to pack it away in a sealed container or the air in Rotorua (which contains sulphur dioxide) may well turn it black for you.
