East is East

Howdy blog fans

The first leg of my grand finale tour of NZ is complete. I have successfully navigated my way around the East Cape. I only have a limited amount of time for this update, so I will summarise my thoughts in bullet point form:

1. East Cape is stunning
2. Nice lighthouse
3. How the hell do people survive out there - it is beyond rural
4. I know how, they grow lots of weed
5. If Carlsberg made hostels, they would be like this - http://www.maraehako.co.nz/
6. Bit chilly out
7. No penguins yet

I have made it to lovely sunny Gisborne and next stop is Napier. Will I get to experience an earthquake before I leave? I'm certainly heading the right way for one!

Hope you are not overwhelmed by the regularity of my blog updates. Chow for now!
