Coromandel Peninsula

Another weekend, another tour. This time: The Coromandel! Even more windy roads, even more paradise beaches... Here is a glimpse of what I have enjoyed today.
Hot Water Beach - dig your own spa!
But... it's the second dangerous beach in NZ.
Near Cathedral Cove - while there are busloads of tourists, I find serenity on a gravel road.
Slipping and sliding on the 309 to Coromandel (town)
At Waiau waterfall
And today's two-wheeled related content:
Hang 'em High? What has this bike done to deserve this?
Or maybe it's an anti-theft device.
Eye-candy: The Coromandel East Coast
Mooring in Coromandel, just find a spot and tie it down.
Excellent roads! Let it roll!
Along the Coastline
The one-way bridge back to the Mainland.
Another 400km added to the odometer.

  1. Geez, you must be absolutely frazzled. I mean, having to spend every weekend looking at such beautiful landscapes, and all. :)

    The answer to the hanging bike is simple. It's an air cooled motor!

  6. Aaaargh..... Sonja! If you were that close, you should have let me know as you were within 2 km of home - I would have gladly given you lunch and shown you round!

    you are so lucky to experience such beauty. Just image a few short months ago while sitting in a dingy hotel in Winnipeg in minus temperatures that you would be in such an exotic place. It's going to be a letdown to have to come back to Vanouver
