| Eastend cafe's entrance, Wairoa |
Currently, I'm sitting, typing this, in a hotel in Gisborne, New Zealand. The Emerald Hotel. It's opposite the police station. And Burger Wisconsin. I had dinner there about an hour ago. A Great American with fries and a Cola. Tasted great! I'm here in Gisborne on school business. I've never been to Gisborne before. Ever. It's pretty big. It has an airport, apparently. The main shopping street reminds me of Keri Keri or Whanganui. The drive was loooooong from Waipukurau. And twisty turny. Low on traffic volume. High on road work delays. There's always a price to pay. I stopped off at Wairoa for a caffè mocha and a muffin along the way. The Eastend Cafe. The muffin was outrageously good. All sticky topping and berry insides. Mocha and service were spot on too (thanks Terese for the heads up). The road to Wairoa and then Gisborne has some spectacular scenery. In England there would be thousands of people. Shops. Tour buses. Souvenir stands. Fun palaces. But this is Wairoa. It looks depressed. Gisborne is a long way away when you're in Wairoa. So is Napier. But Eastend Cafe is well worth a visit! Turn right before the bridge.
