Camping Challenge no II

After our first disasterous camping trip, we thought we would brave the wilds again!! So we bought a new tent and off we went to them hills for another adventure.

We decided to do to a place called Hahei which is on the Coromandel Penninsula. The scenery was gorgeous but unexpectidly the weather was fantastic. Easter, we are told, is traditionally bad as we are no heading into autumn. We couldn't beleive how nice it was and we spent most the weekend on the beach chillin - just what we needed.

Here are some piccies of us on the way there and the route we took.

This is Hahei beach - there are loads of little islands which look like spikes coming out of the sea. It must be fantsatic to have a boat and go out and explore the numerous islands.

This is one of the little Bays that we discovered on the way to Cathedral Cove .


This is a picture of Hot Water Beach. Here you take a shovel and when the tide goes out, you dig a hole and you have an automatic hot water spa!! We didn't do it because there were so many poeople here but its only 2.5 hours drive from home so we intend to return and give it a go

This is Cathedral Cove and one of the most spectacular beaches we've ever seen.
