We returned to Coromandel Town in time to spend Labour Day Weekend with Nicola. Very quiet few days which was lovely. Coromandel gets incredibly busy during bank holidays and school holidays. It was heaving on Saturday but we still managed to watch Wellington Lions win the NPC and the All Blacks play Japan. Also managed to snap Helen Clark, the local celeb again! Fabulous walk on Monday to the Kauri Walk at Long Bay.

We are now heading north. Few things to sort out with the van and so we are staying on the outskirts of Auckland…Hope the neighbours aren’t too noisy!!
