Wednesday 13th February
Before heading out of Auckland we stopped off at Mount Eden (one of the volcanic mounds that I had yet to go up) to take a couple of pics of the views of the city before making our way to the Coromandel Peninsula.
The Coromandel Peninsula is known for having some of the North Islands best beaches and scenery and it certainly didn't dissapoint. The weather was gorgeous and we spent the afternoon chilling out on the beach. Well I did. There was an option of kayaking to Cathedral Cove (known for its impressive limestone arch) however with my track record of all things kayak related and bearing in mind that I even managed to get into difficulties with a swan peddalo, I decided to give it a miss.
There was also the possible option of stopping off at the hot water beach where dependant on tides you can dig a hole in the sand and create your own thermal pool. However unfortunately it wasn't low tide so there was little point in stopping.
I did however get a little bit burnt on my back today so have been sporting some unusual red blotchy patterns. I have learnt my lesson and will make sure that I get someone to apply my lotion in future.
