Day 55. Hahei, Coromandel Peninsula. A big ten out of ten.

Overlooking Hahei beach
The West coast of the Coromandel is blessed with loads of excellent beaches and we took our time this morning driving from one to the next in search of the perfect 10.

Tough work, as you can imagine, especially with only a couple of Waihi Steak and Mushroom pies for sustenance (Curate's egg of a pie; mostly good, but let down by a soggy base).

Sex god

Opted for Hahei beach, which has the look of something you might find in a remote part of Thailand; pinky white sand, turquoise sea and several little islands scattered out in the bay. Absolutely gorgeous it is, and if the weather holds we'll probably stop here for 3 or 4 days.

Wingspan of a Gannet by the way is almost 2 metres.
