Gisborne, New Zealand - February 2010

We had been led to believe Gisborne is so isolated that it is actually the interbreeding capital of New Zealand. We found it to be a most pleasant sunny place and think it is just some of our friends who have certain habits. We will speak to them about that.

Gisborne seems to have avoided a lot of the over expansion that a lot of the cities have had .... in other words, it is far away from Auckland. It is very nice place.

Now it is worth mensioning that New Zealand history started here. In 1769 a certain Captin Cook sailed by. Nick the cabin boy, was the first to spot land (and we care why). A few mishaps with bullets meant Captain Cook left shortly afterwards. I am going to cut history short by saying that when the French and the Austrailians arrived, the English soon became mates again.
