Rhodo Fest in New Zealand
By Linda Tancs
New Zealand’s only castle is located in Dunedin – Larnach Castle. Its castle gardens are a big draw for nature lovers, but this time of year it’s the rhododendrons at the Rhododendron Dell at the Botanic Gardens and the annual Rhododendron Festival this month that draws them in. Characterized as a giant outdoor playground, a flower festival is tame compared with some of the more unusual events taking place in this city, like a nude rugby international match and a race of 30,000 hard coated candy balls down Baldwin Street, listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s steepest street. Get your game on.
