Coromandel Peninsula
December 28, 2006 - January 4, 2007Arrived in Coromandel Town (west coast) late afternoon and found myself a bed in a dorm in a small backpacker right in "town" (that's just a few houses, shops, and restaurants ;) Was in a room with Claudi & Markus (from Germany) and Astrid (from Graz!) ... we had a couple of excellent hiking together and it felt like a summer camp ;) We had a great time, also thanks to Markus stand-up comedian of Bully Herbig and "Der Schuh des Manitu". Great!!!
Finally, also spend New Years with them and after another great adventure walk at the Stoney Bay I made my way towards the west coast of Coromandel Peninsula on January 2. Checked with the tourist information center in Whitianga to find a backpackers (originally wanted to stay directly in Whitianga) and was booked into a backpackers about 40 mins drive from there (but it was on my way to Cathedral Cove for diving :) Checking into the "Seabreeze" backpackers which was converted from a milk shed - Guess, whom I met here (and even was staying in the same room with)?!? Markus and Claudi.
New Zealand is a small country!
Went for a dive at Cathedral Cove this morning and to Hotwater Beach in the afternoon. Within a 2-hour window arround low tide it's possible do dig your own pool at the beach and thanks to a hot water spring underneath it's really hot-water (sometimes even boiling) that comes out in these self-made pools :) Went along the beach for a good walk and will check out for a bush walk now ...
Talk to you later again ...
