Friday 5th August

After another good nights sleep, we set off for the Coromandel peninsula.
We crossed the mountain range through the middle of the peninsula and managed to get to Hot Water beach just as the tide was going out. In a section of the beach you can see the sand literally boiling and armed with spades we dug our own little hot water spa.
Amazing experience of being boiling hot on a cold beach with huge surf crashing just a few metres from us.




Paul has always wanted to stay in a motel where you can park outside your own room and he got his dream tonight. Can't say we slept very well on a sofa bed with all of us crammed in a little room but hey.....at least we had a delicious meal in a lovely fish restaurant. Kingfish was the dish of the day so we all ate it in some form or another. I would definitely recommend the risotto!

9pm to bed for all of us and we didn't stir til nearly 9 the next morning!!!
