Wed 2nd March –We’ve been in Hot Water today!

We’re now on the Coromandel Peninsula, East of Aukland, and spent the morning at the beach.
Hot Water beach!
Yep – for 2 hours either side of low tide, you can just dig a hole and it fills with hot water! Neat!  

The downside is, it gets quite busy here, but you have lots of new friends, all industriously digging away


Eventually, you just need a break – for a read

And a bite of something delicious  to keep body and soul together
best latte yet!

and a full english for the workers

Our cultural bit of the day was a little tramp to a grove of huge indigenous Kauri trees – now endangered in NZ , as the early settlers did their best to cut them all down. They protect are left the few that are left. Better late than never!
