Friday saw us getting up early and heading back to Auckland to pick up six new people who were joining the trip. It's a bit strange, but Auckland is like home from home for me; everything seems so farmilar.
Now with eight people plus our driver/guide, we headed on to the Coromandel Peninsula. We stopped for about 30 mins to get the bus looked at for repairs, then pressed on to our campsite. When we got there, we went off on a three hour sea kayak to Cathedral Cove, which was a lot of fun, if a bit wet!
I wasn't quite sure about the Flying Kiwi tour to begin with, but I'm really getting in to it now. I guess it's just the change of routine and pace from having lots of time in the same place in Auckland, to getting up early every day and travelling with Flying Kiwi.
Anyway, got to go, Rotorua calls!
