Come join me for this 50-image photo journal as I cycle and hike across New Zealand. In this sixth volume I am cycling east from Rotorua past a series of stunning lakes to the north coast town of Opotiki to camp and soak at the amazing Awakeri Hot Springs. Next I'll be pedaling through the jaw-dropping Waioeka Gorge, past the fabled Rere Waterfalls, and onto the east coast beach town of Gisborne for Christmas. I hope you enjoy these images and travel thoughts as much as I did photographing them and living the adventure.
