More exploring of the North Island! I decided to rent a car for a few days to explore some more. I got a lovely little...Yaris! How nice, was like being at home! Cept it was an automatic!

Headed off to Coromandel, was a long drive. Got a bit bored being on my own so long in the car. Again, didn´t get up to too much that eve, had food, went to bed. What an exciting time I had! It was a bit strange travelling around on my own, I liked it and didn´t like it, does take some getting used to.

Next day I drove over to a few beaches, checked out Cook´s Beach, Cathedral Cove, above, it´s quite beautiful and Hot Water Beach. Was there about 20mins and what did it start to do...rain. Why am I not surprised! So I took off again, I had another long drive ahead to Rotorua. Got a bit lost along the way, as I was going to visit somewhere else, then decided against it due to time so my little detour put me off. But I got along my way again and eventually got to my destination, a little tired!
