New Years in Gisborne

This year myself, Paul, Alice and Chrystal took a 6 hour drive down to meet Tony and Alana along with a few others in Gisborne. We complained about the lack of sleep because of the noise in our camp site so Paul took us for a walk over to the larger one. What a mess!!! There were people running about everywhere and not a space free from rubbish. One of the girls staying in that camp site said that they hadn't slept for 2 nights because of the noise so after seeing that our complaints to to thanks. On the 30th it was Chrystals birthday. Mike and his friends arrived that night and we all went out for dinner. After 2 hours and the people at the next table walking out after making a scene because food took to long and then they didn't get enough chips out food arrived. The rest of the time was spent with early morning walks to the dairy with Chrystal and Alice for our coffees, at the beach, sleeping, chatting and lots of drinking in the sunshine.

Come New Years eve the weather decided to talk a turn and it rained all afternoon and night long. Not too good as we were outdoor at Rhythm and Vines and got totally soaked! More bad luck with food as Myself and Paul ate a kebab and was sick with food poisoning and slept for more than 20 hours straight.......we were happy to have rain that day! Overall a great new years if it had of stayed sunny and we didn't get sick i would say the best ever!
