Mum, we are alive!
Today we travelled from Mount Maunganui to coromandel town. On the way we stopped at hot water beach (there is a hot spring under the sand where you can dig your own hot pool- it was actually really hot, some of the pools people had dug were steaming!). We then went to Cathedral Cove, where we saw a massive rock arch, caves, and some really pretty beaches. We then drove to Coromandel town and checked into the backpackers, which is pretty nice- there's a pool and a spa and free bikes here :) Also, theres a gold mine with glowworms inside- I might check that out after dinner :) speaking of dinner... i'm starving!
BAck to Auckland tomorrow!!
