Bay of Plenty, NZ

After a quick trip back to Auckland to drop my friend, Michelle, off at the airport, I headed south again, this time to the Coromandel Peninsula. The place is isolated by geography but the journey to Coromandel Town and Whitianga and both coast lines is worth the drive.

Why? The scenery is absolutely spectacular.

The seafood is so delicious!
