Going south from Auckland

We left Auckland today after picking up some new travellers for this leg of the trip.

Drove towards the coromandel peninsula east of Auckland. A good few hours drive and our first stop was Hot Water Beach. This was something really cool and I had not seen it before. You dig a hole on the sand an the hot water currents running under the sand feed hot water just below the surface of the beach. Had a lovely soak in te hit water then hit the Pacific Ocean to cool down before a final dip in the hot pool.

After that we had a nice long walk near the town of HaHei - down to cathedral cove which is a hole in the cliff face.

Then back to our campsite for the evening staying in cabins. A great barbecue cooked by our guide (named "beans"). And some drinks to finish the evening.
