Now back at home after a long journey!! that went very smoothly. During our last week or so, we made our way around Coromandel enjoying the great weather and numerous beaches before hitting Auckland and a faster pace. Our campground was convenient to the city, about 20 minutes by bus. We did a bus tour around the city including the main sites and Sky City from where the photos were taken. We had the last night of our trip in a hotel, what luxury! So now in the cold (5 C during the day and - 5 C last night) so Spring is still far off, even our "February Gold" daffodils are a long way from flowering. It has been the worst Winter here for 31 years and that's after a prediction of the Met Office of a mild Winter before we left.
