Oh for a veranda

so this was the lovely Coromandel peninsula

the saloon

smoked fish company

little wooden church

the cutesy laundrette, eat your heart out Dot!

Hot Water Beach - Google it, amazing!!

Cathedral Cove

all the magnificent colours of the South Pacific Ocean!

flat whites to die for at Thames

and our very own balcony at the Green House (and my review)- oh now I am really spoilt!

So this was our first few days in New Zealand in February, and if you want to follow the whole trail, then keep looking out for links at the bottom of each blogpage.

After leaving this amazing peninsula, we went south but still on the North Island, to the mystical Rotorua.
