East Coast and Rotorua

The SH35 between Gisbourne and Opotiki is truly a great road - to ride a motorcycle. It also takes you near the filming locationof Whale Rider, and often just hugs the coast line. Unfortunately there wasnt many good places for pictures, or maybe I've been spoiledby the scenery of the south island.

But there are the geysirs at Rotorua.. and a faint reek of sulphur in the air!
