Last time we visited the Cormandel Peninsula the
weather was not particularly good,
this visit was a vast improvement as far as the
sunshine was concerned.
The white sands of Haihe beach, looking
North towards Cathedral Cove.
 Cathedral Cove, another tick on our 101 must do in
NZ list. :)
  Then to the south there is Hot Water Beach, at
low tide visitors can usually dig a hole near the rocks, let it fill with
hot spring water, then sit and relax in the warmth of it all...
With a brisk wind coming from the SE for
the previous few days the neap tide could not go far enough out and at
low tide (8am) surf was still crashing onto the rocks,
a quick dig, or foot shuffle, then stand with hot
toes until the next wave knocked you off your spot, was all we could
manage!
 Hot Water Beach 'on a calm day' has been moved
to the list of things to go back to on the next visit to NZ!
