East Cape Light House

The eastern most point of the country - and we climbed the 479 steps (or was it 480?) to get up the hill to the lighthouse.

East Cape

A weekend trip around the East Cape. About an 8 hour drive, with endless, spectacular views.

 
Here I am putting in another hard days work for Interior Stationery and Books. Well it may look like this must be a piece of cake, in fact there are many difficulties working here including sunburn, screen glare, and the wine becoming too warm.

The livestock seem to have great balance.

NZ Hills

The hills are terraced. It is from the livestock walking horizontal paths across the steep sides of these hills that are very 'soft'. The soil under the grass is sort of like a sandy "fill". There is a development site near town, where they are shaving one of these hills down with an excavator.

Easter Weekend

The sun is still shining is Gisborne! We have had a beautiful weekend, and enjoyed a hike to Cook's Cove at Tolaga on Good Friday.

Parking

Here's a common Gizzy sight. There are more cars than parking spots. . . so use the lawn.
