A fairly quiet day. Had a damn fine sleep and hopped on a bus around noon from Rotorua.
3 buses and 5 hours later I was plunked down in a light rain right in front of my hostel on Buffalo Beach, in the town of Whitianga, Coromandel Peninsula.
On the way, went through many typical small New Zealand towns, saw a boat named the Ogopogo docked in marina in Tauranga, watched the scenery change from flat to hilly and drove through a brief but fierce rainstorm.
So here I am in the Coromandel! This place above all was mentioned by folks back home who've been here in recent years. It damn well better be good!
I have high hopes for improved weather and some beautiful beach walks. Even if it rains, I figure it's all gravy after my time on the East Cape.
