Britz aboard

We got up and caught an Uber to the Britz place near the airport. Had a lovely driver who loved the chat, mostly about definitions of love and the different states of mind. He didn’t come up for air. After spending over 2 hours at Britz we were on our way in our little camper. After a quick pit stop at the supermarket for essentials (wine, beer, cheese) we headed up to the coromandel peninsula. I asked Phil to do the first drive as we would certainly end up maimed or dead if I got behind the wheel on day one. We divided our time between oohing and aahing and clenching everything within an inch of its life as we went through the amazing scenery (with the bendiest roads with very steep drops) our plan was to head to coromandel town then go to cathedral cove and hot water beach. We worked out (probably too late) that it was not going to be possible to do it all so we only ended up doing hot water beach where we watched people digging into the sand to sit in the thermal water. To be honest they looked a bit mad. We then drove to Waihi (miles away obvs) where we were staying the night, had wine and passed out.Leggi altro
