Coromandel Peninsula
... In Thames stoppe ich nochmal um Getränke zu kaufen und mich über Campingplätze schlau zu machen. Die DOC Plätze im Norden sind nur über Schotterstraßen zu erreichen und aufgrund des Regens der letzten Tagen ist man sich nicht sicher, ob ich dort hinkommen würde. Somit fahre ich erstmal einfach drauf los immer dem SH 25 nach. Der läuft direkt an der Küste entlang und überall sind Leute dabei Boote zu Wasser zu lassen oder Muscheln ...
The Last Stop in NZ

But never mind all that Taupo. Skydive time was upon us. Having mentally prepared ourselves for nigh on 24 hours, we were bundled up to the airfield ...
Coromandel - Entspannung pur
... heute aber nur 1 Stunde in gemäßigtem Gelände. Unterwegs habe ich einen weiteren Kauri umarmt, sonst aber ganz viel Aussicht genossen. Das Wasser hat so ein herrliches Blau, kleine grüne Inselchen heben sich davon ab und überall das Meeresrauschen… Ich hab mich definitiv verliebt in die Gegend hier. Nachdem ich ein bisschen am Strand rumgelegen habe, ist mir der Wind jedoch auf die Nerven (oder eher Ohren) gegangen. Also ...
