Road trip reaches Tolaga Bay and Gisborne
Just photos today….
I’m feeling a little bleugh and don’t really trust my washing machine head and the thoughts spinning around in it.
These pics are from our road trip taken around the East Cape of New Zealand this January.
If you’ve been following the blog you’ll have travelled with me all the way round the East Cape on the Pacific Highway from Whakatane.
We are now at Tolaga Bay and then travel further still to Gisborne.
