Coramandel Town
... As it turns out, she told me about something that was an absolute revelation to me and the world I live in! I am afraid I can't talk about it now as I am still researching and considering what she said - it could have a resounding effect on my future in NZ! For those of you who care, it's not Buddhism, religion or naturism!
On Thursday, the weather got better and I popped down the road to the Driving Creek Railway & Potteries. This was ...

The next morning we got up early and went for a horse ride along the beach! Another really good experience. Although the horses obviously hadn't been ridden in ...
The Coromandel Peninsula
... und Badetuch - was ich prompt auch alles nutzte! Rachel hatte mir ihr Auto geliehen (mit der Autonummer "SUNGRL" :-D) und ich richtete meine Ausflüge sehr spontan nach dem Wetter aus. Neuseelands Wetter ändert sich enorm schnell, aber mein "Wetterblick" liess mich nicht im Stich - bis auf den letzten Tag, an dem es dann auch nur einmal regnete, nämlich dauernd.
