The following day after brekkie, we headed north to Gisborne.
We thought Wellington to Napier was hilly with lots of curves. This journey to Gisborne was even worse and my shoulders were tired when we arrived at the motel. We had no trouble going to sleep right after dinner and then sleeping until dawn.
New Zealand has a human population of 5.3 million along with 23.6 million sheep. That's 4.5 sheep for every person. You see them everywhere, even on the steepest hillsides.
Marianne was thrilled to see Autumn leaves.
As you might expect with all the green grass, there are plenty of cows.
Hills galore.
Rivers are mostly small and shallow.
The lush vegetation.
Our motel in Gisborne was a block away from the ocean. It was windy and cold and not too inviting. We did not linger.
We went to a brewery for dinner that also served pizzas. I ordered the Blue Moon pizza which was really tasty with the blue cheese. I will try making something similar in the near future. The beer was excellent.
