Before today we
basically had 2 driving days. The one
day from The Bay of Islands to Auckland and then yesterday from Auckland to
Hahei on the Coromandel Peninsula. We
had 2 choices for the drive here and chose the longer one around the peninsula. It was a very winding road by the edge of the
sea with not much to keep you from ending up in the sea and many one lane
bridges! We did enjoy it though and
arrived here shortly before 5:00 PM. This
is a beautiful spot right on the beach.
We awoke this
morning to what seemed to me like it was going to be an all day rain so I
wondered what we would do. During
breakfast it began to clear and our hostess suggested we take a Zodiac
boat ride to see the many rock formations (Cathedral Cove being the most
famous). By 10:00 AM we were in the boat and it was a wonderful hour. It enabled Lois to see Cathedral Cove as she
couldn’t have done the 40 minute hike in.
The rest of the day has been absolutely beautiful so you can’t count on weather
patterns being like they would be at home – the host said today was like having
4 seasons in one day. We just got back
from an enjoyable walk on the beach. It
is very walkable as the sand is firm.
