One of the jewels of New Zealand, the Coromandel Peninsula is completely overrun by tourists and holidaymakers every summer, making it near impossible to get into and out of, with narrow windy roads leading up and down either side and few roads connecting one side to the other. Since we were only on a day trip, we spent most of our time driving and not so much sightseeing, but there are a lot of beautiful things to see from out the window. We drove up and had fish & chips at Coromandel, a cute little seaside town on the west side, then we crossed the Peninsula missing a few scenic beaches on the way and ended up on the east side at Whitianga where we collected some shells & relaxed on the beach before heading back home. I would love to go back later this year and spend a few days there taking in the sights.
