Perjalanan Ini : Hot Water Beach, Coromandel

Hot Water Beach, Coromandel.


We were supposed to go here October last year, when my parents came here. But we missed the turn, and we were too tired to continue the journey at that time. So, we make an effort to visit this place last weekend. About one and a half hour drive from Auckland.

On the way, we stop at Tairua. Small town...very peaceful.

Ada orang sudah berangan mau pergi fishing trip....
Anyway, we stop here for quick breakfast. Dah breakfast kat rumah, but little girl complained "sakit perut...nak toast". Sakit perut = Lapar....

I'm trying to be creative here......hahaha...While this girl...tak abih2 lagi with her piece of toasted bread......There's a small jetty over here. Hubby is reminiscing Terengganu > "owh teringat gi macing kat Marang". Lagi2 la, mmg ada bau2 Terengganu sket....bau laut.......I miss you, Terengganu!! > hehe....Apa lagi bila this kid dok show-off hasil tangkapan dia......hubby lagi rasa mau lompat masuk bot, join fishing trip > tapi teringat joran dia koman sgt as compared to this kid punya joran..Here we are....Hot Water Beach.
Super-excited nak mandi.....

While hubby....errrr...reminiscing lagi dan lagi???!!

Budak excited tadi...tak sampai 5 mins dah nangis....sejuk wooo. Tak sesuai la swimming suit ini...kena carik yg tebal itu. By the way, this spot la where you can sense the 'hot water'. You can do something like in this picture > http://www.pacificharbour.co.nz/images/other/hotwater%20beach%20(3).JPG. But we were too lazy.....hehehe. More information here : http://mercurybay.co.nz/activities/hotwaterbeach.phpShower.....Impersonating her nenek Dayang.....More info....of what to do here....can surf as well..
I'm trying to be creative again....hehehe...
Adelia prefers to chase birds...

And exploring....And posing for the camera > ni gaya Dragon Warrior in Kungfu Panda...haiyyaaa....Mum pun sibuk nak posing gak....

About 10 mins from Hot Water Beach is Cathedral Cove.....

But Adelia was sleeping by this time....so, we can't really go. You have to walk down the path to see Cathedral Cove. So, that's why I just posed with this information board.....rather than posing in front of Cathedral COve itself. Maybe next time....
