We had a nice trip around the East Cape in New Zealand. It has a strong Mauri population, lots of sheep and empty space. Its considered "real New Zealand" by many Kiwi's. Camped one night, for free, and stayed in a hostel another night. Yesterday and today we were in Gisborne, where I surfed. Waves wern't that good though, and it was freezing without a wetsuit. Gisborne also included a massive ice-cream stop, a movie, and chineese food.

Tomorrow we're planning to start a 4 day trek around lake waikaroi (or something, all these mauri names run together after awhile). If it rains we might cancel out though.
