Cathedral Cove and the falls at Rapaura Watergarden


Yesterday, Saturday, we invited the Turpins to join us in touring the Coromandel Peninsula that is about 200 km south and east of Auckland. We began at the water garden and then spent most of the day at Cathedral Cove. We understand that Cathedral Cove is the location for some of the next Chronicles of Narnia scenes. The beach is spectacular! Next we visited the Hot Water Beach near Mercury Bay where there are multiple hot springs that flow under the beach and can be exerienced only at low tide. If you dig a few inches into the sand, the scalding hot water will flow freely.
