On the way to Thames

Around the Coromandel peninsular

Coromandel hills

Views in the Coromandel

Coromandel bays

Hot water beach

There are thermal springs under the sand at low tide

Glorious waves, the tide has a dangerous rip

Lake Rotoma, where we free camped and I lost my shoes!

Angling for a bite.....

Hells Gate thermal action

The smell of sulphur was overpowering

Whakarewarewa Forest and the giant californian redwoods

Man against tree.......

Hidden Valley thermals

Hidden valley lake crossing to the thermals
