Coromandel Peninsula
Aimee and I decided to take a road trip up north to visit the Coromandel Peninsula which I personally think everyone who is in the north island should visit sometime or other because it's absolutely beautiful (which is probably an understatement). We both deleted our Facebook and Messenger apps so that we would have no contact or distractions whilst we were here as we literally wanted to get away for a little while to relax for a weekend instead of our usual antics in town which usually consist of drama. It took us roughly 2 hours 30 to arrive but the drive was ever so scenery so it wasn't all bad. As soon as we got settled in our little apartment at the backpackers we then opened the wine because it was very much needed after that drive ha ha, afterwards we then went to the beach to watch the sunset which was literally a walk across the road away from where we were staying.
The next morning we both woke up at 5am randomly but couldn't get back to sleep so we ended up watching the sunrise then chilling out until we decided to get ready. That Saturday was a pretty chilled out day as the majority of it was spent walking up and down the beach and exploring Whitianga. We did eat one of the tastiest pizzas I've ever ate before whilst watching the Christmas parade go by, which personally felt a little odd seeing Santa Claus go by whilst I'm sat in a bikini. This day was also spent doing a hell of a lot of sunbathing as we wanted to get as much sun as we could before we had to go back to Hamilton. The night then consisted of drinking a lot of wine... maybe a little too much as Aimee ended up in bed by around 10pm even though we planned on going to the pub. All in all it was a bloody good day!
The next morning Aimee woke up hung, as you can probably imagine but the good thing is that I'm the driver so we could still continue on what we were planning to do. That Sunday as it was the day we were travelling back we decided to stop and visit the Cathedral Cove as we heard and saw a lot of things about it and it was kinda a must see. I can now say it is... Now that I've actually been there myself some of the scenes are breathtaking. It's also very good exercise as it consists of a lot of walking, stairs and hills and considering this weekend I didn't gym I felt this was needed eventhough towards the end of it my legs were hurting and I was over it purely because of the heat made it worse than it was I guess.
Below are some of my favourite pictures from the whole weekend and I did try and capture the places true beauty to show you all.
