North Island Journey - Day #1

15.02.2014 - Wellington - Auckland - Coromandel

Today my little North Island Adventure started with a flight to Auckland. Since it wasn't possible to get a
hotel from Saturday to Sunday I had to skip a visit to Auckland and drove straight up to Coromandel.
Took me about 2,5hours to get to Coromandel, driving along the Pacific Coast Highway. The weather
was fantastic so I had, even though I was driving, a fantastic view. The Coast Highway is a curvy, narrow
road only a view meters from the water. Was a lot of fun driving up there! My accommodation was really
nice on a little peninsula on a hill, so to the left and right of my room I could see the Pacific Ocean. Even
better, the moon came up behind a small mountain opposite of my apartment. So lying on my bed I could
watch the full moon rise opening for a starry night. Loved it!
