Day 66 – 72 Coromandel and the Northlands
Our final days in New Zealand walking in tunnels, through gorges, along beaches, up massive sand dunes and through stands of gigantic Kauri trees. A pretty awesome ending to our time here.

Our favourite area in New Zealand? Quite possibly!! Ridiculous colour lakes, hot water bubbling from the ground, the satisfying sound of mud pools and some of the most beautiful hills we’ve ever seen!
After exploring the green city of Wellington we headed inland past the volcanoes of Tongariro, to the massive crater lake Taupo and up to the karst country of Waitomo, famed for its glowworm caves.
A few days with a fair amount of travel on coaches and a boat to move between these two cities. We stopped at Kaikoura for a dose of whales, seals and beautiful coastlines though. Oh, and the beach of death…
Our final days in the RV following our cloudy, grumpy spell turned out to be pretty perfect! Sunny skies, picture perfect lakes and mountains, stunning waterfalls and great walks. Almost made us like the RV in the end….
Every trip has it’s bad patch. This was deinitely ours (so far anyway). Don’t expect glorious pictures and happy faces in this post; instead you’ll get lots of rain and cloud and the harsh realities of living in an RV in the winter…
