Hot Water beach. Dig your own spa




Finished off our NZ trip at the Coromadel, a fantastic stretch of coastline surrounded by a Forest park and mountains just east of Auckland, and a playground for Auckland's rich and famous (plus us in our camper van). Stayed for 3 days and 2 nights at a place called Tairua

Did 2 trips, the wonderful Hot Water Beach, where you dig down into the sand as the tide is going out and hot water gushes upwards, filling your new spa with very hot water. This is a real feel it to believe it thing.

LAstly, we played golf at Tairua golf club for the extoriionate price of 20 dollars, or less than 100 SEK: really tricky course with surprises on every turn, and surprisingly well-kept for a golf course with no one on it and a rediculous price tag.

Actually writing this blog after we have landed back in Sweden. Oh, how i long for...
