Coromandel Peninsula.
This peninsula is to the east of Auckland. It has some stunning beaches. We visited the Catherdral Cove, with its huge limestone arch, set on a quiet (which was a relief as it is school holidays here at the moment) pristine beach. That evening we created our own hot tub on Hot Water Beach. An amazing experience. The hot water is very near the surface of the beach and is caused by an underground hot spring which bubbles up at low tide.

NZ is still looking good even though it's a bit misty. Happy birthday Stephen hope you enjoyed it. I have emailed you again Rebecca just last week please let me know if you receive it. I got yours by the way. I know what you mean about it reminding you of home. When we went to Australia it was so colonial and at times I felt like I could have been anywhere in the UK until someone started to talk and the obvious long vowel sounds gave it away!! Keep on treking and enjoying - Sue xx
