coromandel adventures

This year my family and our friend's family ( as usual ), Justine,Janna and jv, has decided to go to coromandel peninsula. According to the internet this place was filled with white sand, beaches , and view.

When we finally arrived after a long 2 hours drive, we first went to this place filled with pots and trees. They had a tower there which they called "eyefull" tower, they said they named it the eyefull tower because its filled with scenery. To get to the tower we took a small train up to there which we had to wait about 2 hours for,which pretty much wasted time on our first day.

This was the train we had to ride

After the train ride we have decided to finally check in to a cabin but too bad there wasn't any vacancies left as it all was already booked ,so as last resort we were going to sleep in a tent but luckily we found a campervan where we slept in. it was cool inside who could have believed that we'd get to spent a night in a campervan.

that's our first sleep over!!

the next day the weather hasn't been quite nice to us, IT WAS RAINING!!!

because of that we weren't able to do the following things:

• walk around early in the morning              
• "hike" down to Cathedral cove
• do whatever we wanted in a sunny day
• enjoy dry sand

this was the beach beside the campervan we rented.

And finally final destination: Hot water beach,

the weather was starting to get better

A place to dig sand, make saunas that can heat up up to 60 degrees celcius ( our hole was too shallow for the volcanic rocks underground to heat it up), and surf!!!.We were too young to surf so we just body boarded. Even though the weather hasn't quite been nice we still enjoyed every single moment of it!!

And that was coromandel peninsula ................
