Unfortunately guys and gals, rain stops play on the camping trip this week! But not a worry we weren't ready any way! ha-ha
A lot of people keep saying that the Coromandel trip should be done in nice weather as it's mainly beach walks - sunshine definitely needed I think!
So instead of hanging around waiting for the sun to come out this week we filled our time going over to Auckland Zoo and Anawhata oh and may be if I stop thinking I can fix the car we might get it fixed properly! ha!
So we started the week in the city walking round the harbour, we went for a meal in an Irish bar right on the edge of the water. great night, the city looks fantastic by night!
The next day after nearly killing myself beneath the bonnet of the car i decided to get the car fixed properly! Funny thing is with our car, it doesn't seam to be earthed! so random electrocutions became a day to day occurrence! Funny until I nearly took Ian down with me after disconnecting the battery and nearly going up in smoke!
Any who, cars fixed and on to a beach walk at Anawhata, this 'short walk' ha-ha yer right, more like lung buster of a mountain trek! We finally got down to the beach after lumbering over trees the size of Lou Ferrigno, we found it was totally worth it! fantastic views and a top class rocky wall to do a bit of rock climbing, not me....MARIA! Crazy fool!
Next day, despite the occasional down pour we had a top time, maria made friends with a giraffe and we got to have a go at feeding him! Don't know if you know this, but those things a huge!!!!!
With the weather lifting day by day now and the heat now able to cook us to melting point the up and coming trip looks better hour by hour!
