Posing with Sherpy and my board, a 6'6 Ocean Island thruster bought for $160 inc the fins and the leash. I nearly spent half as much again on the board bag I needed to stick it on the plane to Christchurch.

The view from the road across the top of the Coromandel Peninsula.

Breakfast with the peacocks at the bird park we stayed at. A slightly random place with 100s of birds, some donkeys, llamas and a bunch of other animals.

Cathedral Cove, round the corner from Hot Water Beach where you can dig a hole in the sand and sit in a thermal pool. We don't have a picture as it was pouring down with rain which didn't stop the crowds of diggers. I overheard one lady compare it to the boxing day sales!

Our last night with the van in Waihi.

A 1km long tunnel on a short walk at a spot we stopped at for a picnic on our way back to Auckland. Who forgot the torch?
We're now in Christchurch with Annette so we'll have some more photos up soon. I'll update the map later but now it's time for some lunch.
