We had to drive back to Auckland today as we fly onto Fiji tomorrow. Our time in New Zealand has gone so fast but it’s been wonderful.On the way we stopped in Thames, the main town in Coromandel. The Europeans originally called the whole area Thames – after the river in London – but fortunately were persuaded to return to the beautiful Maori name for the peninsula itself.
We took the scenic coastal road back to the city, breaking for lunch at Kaiaua and stopping for a cup of tea at Bach’n in Maraetai.
Roger and Anne had kindly said we could stay with them again and we went out for a Mongolian BBQ with our other friend, Graeme.
