Road trip to Gisborne




As a surprise birthday treat for my fiftieth, Matthew organised a three day long weekend away. I had no idea where we were going and looked forward to it with a little trepidation! As it transpired Matthew drove Joe and I all the way to Gisborne and back, a 16 hour round trip! Although rather a long way to go just for three days, it was a great opportunity to see a remote part of NZ which we may never have got around to seeing. The last two hours of the trip to Gisborne entails a winding gorge road with dense rain forest where wild boar roam. On our way home we rescued a truck driver who had broken down in the gorge.
