Episode synopsis
Adam explores New Zealand’s North Island, starting in the majestic kauri forests in the north. He visits Dargaville, the kumara capital of New Zealand, and then a kiwifruit farm in Te Puke. At Rotorua, he is invited to a traditional Māori "Hāngi" and then joins an impromptu game of rugby. After visiting a farm running shorthorn cattle, Adam heads to the coast to experience another New Zealand tradition, the "bach", a modest holiday shack. A dish of roast Shorthorn beef with kawakawa on the deck overlooking the ocean marks a perfect end to his North Island trip.
