My Maori Motorcycle Gang Hosts
March 14, 2013
Gisborne, NZ
That's Kyle, Bas, and Rich, my Maori hosts for the night.
I met these guys when I stopped Rich and asked where the Outdoor Store was. Asked him also about camping spots and he invited me to camp behind this house they were remodeling. It's his cousin's, Kyle's.
So after moving the Harley Davidson bikes to make room for my tent, I set up to the background music of Bob Marley. Now I love the rasta music, but it went on steadily until 1 am. Hard on a biking girl.
And these guys love their beer. And when they ran out and need a reapply run, guess who got elected? I haven't ever driven I. The left, only biked. I only was on the wrong side of the road once, when I pulled out of the store parking lot. Bas says, "Thing ya best get to that side, Mate" pointing left.
And they served up a lamb, potatoes, pumpkin, spinach stew mostly from the garden on the side of the dilapidated, er rustic, house. But the shower worked so I was really happy.
Solar charger died. RIP. Emailed the maker but doubt I'll have much luck. Can't find anything reasonable except this tiny thing at the outdoor store. Don't know if I should try it. Think more panels are needed to really work. May have to limp from town to town from now on.
Got library wifi and lots to do so...toodles,
