Side Quests Ep 01: East Cape road trip, New Zealand

We're kicking off the Side Quest series with a good old fashioned road trip! My buddy Shane flies in on his birthday so I'm having a break from the shed as we set of on a road trip around New Zealand's beautiful East Cape. From Hawkes Bay to Bay of Plenty, we travel up through Wairoa, Mahia, Gisborne, Tolaga Bay, Tokomaru Bay, Ruatoria, Tikitiki, Te Araroa, Waihau Bay, Onepoto Bay, Omaio Beach, and finish at Ohope beach. We'll check out the sights along the way, including Tolaga Bay wharf, the ruins at Tokomaru Bay, the Tikitiki church, New Zealand's oldest pohutukawa tree at Te Araroa, the Anglican Church of Raukokore, the scenic reserve in Ohope, and more. 0:00 Picking up Shane 2:16 Wairoa 2:27 Mahia 3:08 Day 2 4:04 Gisborne 5:02 Tolaga Bay 5:12 Tokomaru Bay 5:55 Day 3 7:40 Ruatoria 7:59 Tikitiki Church 8:18 Te Araroa Pohutukawa 8:29 East Cape lighthouse 8:58 Onepoto Bay 9:16 Waihau Bay 10:52 Day 4 11:11 Raukokore Anglican Church 11:30 Omaio Beach 11:48 Ohope Beach 12:32 Wrap up
