Kia Ora – A New Zealand Odyssey in several chapters
After a few days of R & R in Tauranga we set off to the Coromandel Peninsula. Again, taking advantage of a “three nights for the price of two” offer we stayed in a very nice motel in Hahei. The next morning, a short drive and a 45 minute walk took us to Te Whanganui-A-Hei or Cathedral Cove. Those of you who have seen the Narnia film Prince Caspian will recognise it as the opening location shot. Although the cove receives around 150,000 visitors a year we were the only ones there and had the beach to ourselves. Unfortunately the tide was up so we couldn’t walk right through the arch.
