Last time out of the city
As an NZ swansong I took advantage of the pleasant-ish weather yesterday to spend a day and a night out on the Coromandel peninusla, a scenic holiday area a couple of hours drive from Auckland. Whilst there I saw Cathedral cove, where a high rock tunnel links two beaches through a cliff, and Hot Water beach, where volcanic activity produces hot water below the sand.
Photos of the Coromandel trip are online along with a few more from Auckland.
