Camping in Gisborne

The Engineer and I drove to Gisborne last weekend to spend a week or so camping at the new camping ground at Tatapouri Beach. It was an idyllic setting that very few people have discovered yet. Sadly the weather wasn’t kind, but we persevered with activites,  walking up the Te Kuri walkway

on the hills behind Gisborne with amazing views over the bayTatapouri. This is part of our preparation for the Milford track at Easter. During our week up there, our Rotary student, Alberto (Beto for short)Beto having beans on toast for the first time! came to stay. He chose New Zealand for rugby and is determined to improve his rugby skills while he is here. He also was brave enough to slide down the rock slide at Rere,  50 km inland from Gisborne. Luckily for the Engineer and I, a few tourists arrived and kept Beto company on the slide so we didn’t have to do it with him!
