Mini Road Trip!

As Richelle has now left New Zealand to attend university in Canada, we went on a mini road trip during our last week together. We took a slow drive down to the Bay of Plenty, where we spent the night in a nice 'authentic' Kiwi Bach (Holiday home for you pommes!) We had 'choice' (fantastic) weather on the first day as we were driving down, but gnarly (horrible) weather the next day, so I didn't take many photo's, only a few on the first day. But anyway, here they are..........

First we visited the Karangahake Gorge, then we stopped off in Waihi and had a quick peak into the goldmine!! The last photo is of the Coromandel, which runs parallel to the road through Paeroa and Waihi........




Then we finally arrived in Papamoa. We, or should I say Richelle, found a brilliant website called Book a Bach. Basically, it's for people to list their holiday homes for you to rent throughout the year. We scored a real good deal with the bach, it cost us $80 for the night, where as a hotel or motel would of cost us way over $100! The bach was also a 3 minute walk to the beach, all you had to do was walk out the garden gate and cross the road! Perfect!



:-) That is all........for now!!
