Beautiful Beautiful Hahei


We have just spent 4 days at one of the most picturesque places we have ever been. We drove up to the Coromandel Peninsula – this is the finger of land that sticks up before Auckland. We booked a fantastic campsite over looking the beach in a small village called Hahei (thanks once again to Sheila for the recommendation!). The weather behaved very well and we had bright sunshine and no clouds. Chris even braved the sea (we found it very cold after Fiji though). The beach has perfect white sand and had small islands out to sea (it was sort of like Krabi in a small way). We spent some blissful days relaxing on the beach and walking around the area.

One day we walked to Cathedral Cove, this is famous for having a hole in the middle of the cliff on the beach that you can walk through. It really was so beautiful. We are so blown away by the amazing scenery in the whole of NZ, whilst the South Island had the lakes and mountains we are now hitting the clear white sand beaches of the North Island. We are really glad we were able to spend 5 weeks exploring the whole country, it definitely needs this amount of time.
