Gisborne to Tairua

 Another day of mountains, hills and curves beckoned.



Believe it or not, this was breakfast! Food in NZ was uniformly imaginative and excellent. When went out for dinner, we would usually each buy a glass of wine and the quality was very good. One evening, I had the best Sauvignon Blanc I had ever had.


Before leaving Gisborne, we walked down to the beach. 


These benches were interesting with the shape and carving. The Maori influence is very strong in New Zealand.


The day was spent driving and Marianne did not take too many photos since it was rainy. It's still very scenic, but much the same as the day before. In many ways, I was very much reminded of England, but NZ is England on steroids.

There were many stoppages along the way for roadworks.  You may find the following interesting about the effects of a cyclone that hit New Zealand the week before we arrived.
