Approaching Tirau from the south, you will see a big castle on a hill. Of course we don't have castles in New Zealand and this one is actually a cafe where you can stop for a cup of coffee and something to eat. Being a castle freak, I was intrigued enough to go up and have a look, but I didn't stop for food. There is a gift shop inside and the castle itself is a bit of an ongoing work I think. It's fun anyway and the kids will love it.

Tirau - almost in the middle of nowhere
En route to Rotorua from Auckland (a bit over halfway), we happened across the little town of Tirau, population only 600. It was right on the highway and we decided it was worth stopping for, for a...
