Up at 6 and with washing machine/dryer in apartment we did the laundry!!

After a good breakfast in hotel left at about 9.30 for 270 km to Hahei on Coromandel peninsula.

Stopped of in Thames which was a lovely town where we felt young!! Has a good gluten free coffee shop Food For Thought.

Next stop was Coromandel which was quaint with lots of craft type activities. Road to here goes along the coast and is beautiful. Lots of stops for photographs.

Eventually reached Hahei after 4 hours 47 mins driving.

Hosts at B&B Louise and Robin were great and room is large and very comfortable. Went out to dinner to local pub The Pour House and had a really good meal with good service. Cider was excellent.
