From Waihau Bay to East Cape

In Whakatone I met two nice frenchies willing to go East ...so did we! Starting with NZ rod fishing contest in Waihau Bay: these guys are catching marlins, tuna and even sharks up to 300kg! We thought it would be nice to do some boat-stop...
 ...but the weather was going to be a problem so we gave up.
In the East there is nothing but small townships (like a dozen homes and one small shop), forests and wild coast.
 Well this is reassuring!
 T'choupi climbing one of the biggest trees on earth (only 20m high but 40m wide!)
 Further on the coast I saw Shadowfax! (LOTR fans will get that is Gandalf's horse).
 Beautiful yet dangerous gravel roads are leading us to...
...more than private beaches!
  And some say this part of NZ is not worth it!
