So on this day we left the glow worm caves behind and drove up to the Coromandel Peninsula. (With a small stop at Hobbiton which I am under legal obligation not to show you pictures of since they are rebuilding for the set of the movie "The Hobbit"!!!!) This drive was super windy and crazy cause we had to go up over the mountains in the middle of the peninsula. But it was well worth it, the area on the east side of the mountains was SO beautiful, it kinda reminded me of California... a little more tropical then what we had been used to so far. We stayed in a town called Hahei in a hotel called The Church because it is made out of an old church! Super Cool!
That evening we went to Hot Water Beach! A beach with a magma chamber so close to the surface it heats up the ground water which comes bubbling to the surface of the beach so at low tide you can dig yourself you own hot tub! SO COOL! The place we were staying even let us borrow shovels and beach towels!
