Day 12 - here at the library again... a good place to blog...
setting off for the Coromandel Peninsula today and checking out B&B's... gotta go...
much driving today - managed to not get lost getting out of the city, but then took a premature (aka-wrong) turn and ended up taking a more scenic route than planned, but hey, who's in a hurry? Once on the peninsula we decided to take a bit of a shortcut - lesser travelled, one and a half lanes up and over the mountain range - I think we may have managed 30km/h so no real time saver, but we found the famed vertical putting green (no putter to test with though) and the lesser known, but equally awesome 'square' Kauri tree and 'hovering' Palm.
...well, we managed to extend our string of unique ethnic dinners one more day by finding a fabulous little pub (come to think, it was quite large actually) that was serving lamb shank and a handle for $10 - you can't get any more New Zealand than that!
