After a day of recovery on the 1st January it was another bus ride to Whitianga in the Coromandel region for a few days of camping. The tent and camping gear had become a bit of a burden by this point but we determined to at least get some use out of it before trying to flog it. So we arrived at our campsite and pitched up and would you know it, I learnt some very useful skills there. The most important being how to eat a pot noodle using only half a bread roll and a straw! The campsite provided no cooking or eating gear whatsoever and it cost 10 cent for a 5 min shower so I wasn't too impressed! We ended up hitting the vodka and coke but had to drink it out water bottles cause we had no cups :-(!
Thankfully the weather was nice so spent a day at the beach and also went on a little boat cruise to see the bays and caves etc, the most spectacular and well known of them all being Cathedral Cove.
