East Cape...

Tony had to do a couple of site visits for some 'buildings' that come under his care so I tagged along for the trip. We headed towards Gisbourne and beyond.

Going up we stopped at Tolaga Bay for lunch (we bought with us!) and had a stroll down the wharf. It's the longest in NZ...



Lots of drift wood on the beach....



Once we'd completed the site visits we headed back to Gisbourne and thought that we'd spend the next morning having a look around the place. Only the weather had a different idea as it was chucking it down so we headed back home..



One thing we did see was alot of properties that could in Estate Agents speak be 'doer upper's'...



Also, seen this a few times on our travels at different places around NZ. Not too sure of the meaning behind all the shoes...



And... a sign on SH 2... Don't recall seeing anything like this around the M25!
