Gisborne Hotels - Reviews and Rates

(We did not stop in Gisborne - it was chosen for the map pin while at sea.) This is was our first day at sea between Tauranga and Napier, so we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and lunch. The seas were very rough, so I finally had to take my seasick meds. I attended the first of two Cruise Critic Connections parties in the morning. Stephanie did so...

Today they had a xmas parade on Main St - and it was the most random parade I have ever seen, and just like AJ, I LOVE Randomness! It was great, there were a lot of costumes and aliens for some reason. The best was a float full of 4-wheelers and aliens followed by a float of baby Jesus. Sweet As. Oh! and Bagpipers! My Favey!

On the way we stopped off at a winery, bleurgh!! I couldn't really face any more wine tasting after the previous day so sipped water at the back of the group instead and pretende...

I woke up at quarter to 5 in the morning and had that sudden, sinking feeling when you know something is terribly wrong. My MEC day bag that had been beside me in my bed was gone and in it had been everything of value or importance that I had with me in New Zealand. It was the early hours of New Years Day and I was staying in a backpackers (host...
