I’ve quit Ohope few minutes ago and I’m now turning around the harbor. Over there, there is some oyster cultures and we have the possibility to buy directly from the producer right here.

“In the valley hoo hooo lalali lalilalaaa” :-)
That’s a reference to a French song (Youtube).

Beware of this series of blurred pictures… I took them too fast without verifying and now, rah! Now it’s shit! But that’s the part of the trip… :-)
Moutohora island (Wiki) is still in the background.

There is some courageous people already in the water. The little guy or girl, is surfing while being pulled by the quad. Looks cool.

Yep, that’s it, I reached the Pacific Ocean. I didn’t see it for a while, more than two weeks I think :-).

Ah, I think I’ve found my place :-) I would have preferred a bench + table but I didn’t find it. This place is good :-)

Now, direction the gorge. I’m going to cycle 10 km and I will come back. I just want to see it but I have to go to the camp after that. 70km for today should be enough.

Now, let’s have a look to the gorge. I plan to cycle 10 km before turning around. After that detour I will have to reach the campsite. 70km for today should be enough.

I’ve reached my threshold. This it the view. OK… I expected something, narrower, higher with vertical rocky walls but I certainly should continue a bit to see that.

This is the same tree as the above picture but on the other side this time. Very, VERY interesting I know :-) . There is something I didn’t notice on my way to the gorge, the wind was in my back… That is the other way around now. Not funny! In the following days, I will definitely cycle all around the Gisborne region.
