On Sunday we travelled from Whangarei Heads to Waiwera via Pakiri beach. We tried to visit the beaches of Cape Rodney and Leigh but the map and the GPS were against us! The campsite at Waiwera was very nice and our campervan was on the beachfront - we visited Waiwera Spa as soon as we got there, where we had 1 hour in a private spa then a couple of hours in several pools of different temperatures. The spa cafe had GF burger buns but I decided to have a smoothie instead. On Monday we travelled to Thames, mostly using the motorway. Our campervan site overlooked the river and it was very green with lots of trees. This morning (Tuesday) we went on a gold mine tour in Thames then we drove to Cooks Beach via the Coromandel Peninsula - we stopped at Opito beach and then had a late carvery lunch in Whitianga town. After arriving at the campsite in Cooks Beach, we drove out to the beach itself - we walked along the sand and then Dom proposed so we stayed on the beach with a glass of wine and watched the sun go down. Tomorrow (Wednesday) we are travelling south to Tauranga and Mount Maunganui.
