New Zealand; Kiwi Experience bus, Day 1: Auckland - Hot Water Beach

7/12/2011

Early wake up again in Auckland to catch my Kiwi Experience bus at 8:30am! Stopped off at a supermarket then went to an amazing viewpoint of Auckland.

Later in the day we got dropped off to do a 45 min walk down to Cathedral Cove. It was long and HARD but worth it! The beach was beautiful and the tide came in from two sides. The water was freezing though!
After relaxing for a while we did the 45 min walk back up! Even harder as we picked a different route through a rainforest! Oh well we made it!

Then we stopped off for some wine tasting. Had loadsa wine/liquors/port/cider mmm. Got drunk offa shots lol.

We got to the accomodation at Hot water beach which was amazing. I had a double bed all to myself! Went and had chicken nuggets and chips for dinner! :)

We were told that we should go to hot water beach at low tide - 11pm. But we decided to just go at 8:30 lol. While it was still light out. We brought our spades anyway. Didn't find any hot water but luckily it started pouring down with rain while we were on our way home. I say luckily as I wouldve hated to still be on the beach in that downpour! Lol we got soooo soaked! But its all good.

What a longggggg day! I was shattered!
