Holiday on our Holiday

After a few days in Auckland all the craziness was getting to us so we decided to get away from it all and go on a holiday on our holiday. We went to Matarangi on the Coromandel Peninsula. We had a great time on day one, as you can see below...

We spent 3 nights at Matarangi on the Coromandel peninsula. It's not far from Auckland but the drive takes 3 hours on really windy roads.

At the top of one little pass between two bays.

Bach, Outdoor shower
This is the place we stayed in at Matarangi. They call this a 'bach'. I guess we would call it a cabin? It was a fantastic little place. The perfect getaway by the beach. Again, Andy and Nicky were responsible for settign this up. Thanks guys!

Massages
Getting a head massage and foot massage while eating lunch. Good service Carly and Harry!

One Two Three JUMP!
We spent a lot of time jumping over the waves.

Buried Treasure!

Terrible weather that day as you can see...
