Coromandel contd Feb 29




Unfortunately I couldn't find anyone to propose to today!


This was a 'beach' day, we visited Hahei, Cook's Beach & walked to Gemstone Bay on the way to Cathedral Cove. We planned to have lunch in a cafe at Cook's Beach, but right until just before we left, failed to find anything except hundreds of holiday homes, all shut up again. We did find the memorial to Cook's Landing however, so duly took a photo. By that time we had decided to take the ferry back to Whitianga, so we ate there instead!


The walk to Gemstone Bay was 'intersting', lots of steps down, which of course we later had to walk up, 2 ladies in their fifties certainly felt their age! Add to that that the beach was all rocks, & really designed for snorkellers, we saw several, it wasn't the best choice. We'll know next time, & there will be a next time, I intend to come back to this area at some point definitely.
