New Zealand, Day 5: Coromandel Peninsula

We tried to get onto the dolphin cruise this morning, to use our free tour while we were actually in the country, but it was fully booked. This means that we moved our plans forwards by a few hours, and could fit in a trip to the Coromandel Peninsula.

Day 14

The morning of my second day on Maggie was spent on a horse.

Day 7

The morning of day seven was spent trying to figure out how to fit all of my belongings back into my rucksack and finding the Greyhound bus stop.  After about two hours of travelling I was at Mission Beach,  which has to be the most beautiful place I’ve found in Australia so far.

Weekend #2
