Today was moving day. At least it was in our minds. We are leaving the Northland and heading over to the Coromandel Peninsula for a few days or a week or a week and a few days. Time will tell. We had only planned to spend around 10 days in the Northland and today is day 27. Right on target.
It is a beautiful day so we thought we would have one last look at the birds. This time we went to the other side of the bluff for a different perspective of both the birds and the scenery. It didn't matter, both sides were pretty nice. The beaches along here get some pretty big waves so it is a popular spot with surfers and there were quite a few out today. We had to move along so we took pictures of both the scenery and the birds before we hit the road.

A perfection of flight. |
The route we wanted to take had us getting back on Hwy 16 and following it to Hwy 1 which would take us through Auckland from the west. However, we missed the turn and ended up on Hwy 18 which also took us to Hwy 1 but from quite a bit further north. This had us come into Auckland from the north but all is good as we only lost a little time.

We had to stop in Auckland at the Campervan Rental Company to get a few things checked out and to pick up a couple of things that were not in the van that we needed. They made the necessary repairs and had us out of there in no time and we thank them for that.
Our next stop is the Coromandel Peninsula and to get there we continued south on Hwy 1 until we came to Hwy 2. We then followed it for a short while until we came to Hwy 25 which was going to take us right into Thames and our campground. You can see from the pictures that as we got closer to the peninsula the mountains that make up the interior come into view.
We got to the campground just before six and just relaxed for the rest of the evening. We plan to do a fair amount of hiking tomorrow and need our rest.
Loving the blog and especially the pics!!!!!!!
