This week end we were in Coromandel peninsula, a beautiful place at 150km north-east of Hamilton. We first reached Thames to do some hiking in Kauaerenga Park. We’ve started to climb the Pinnacles’ but the rain didn’t let us reach the summit, so we just did a 3h walking. After that we went to Coromandel, the road which lead us there was along the Pacific Ocean. Despite the rain it was fabulous. In the backpacker's we ended our day reading books in front of a chimney fire.
Coromandel Peninsula 27-28 Sept
The next day we drove along the seaside and stop in a little beach to take some good shots. But the day was sunny and we swam in the sea. It was cold but so good. Then we went to Whitianga to eat a good New Zealander’s hamburgers. We finish the trip discovering Cathedral Cove, a cavern formed by the sea waves… marvelous!Tonight we’ve seen a rugby match: Waikato (Hamilton) vs Taranaki (New Plymouth). Atmosphere was so nice, cow’s bell, cheerleader, mascot, supporters’ songs and a man with a chainsaw who starts it at each event!! Waikato won 45-41 after a good struggle!

Match de rugby ce soir... Waikato a gagné le match 45-41 vs Taranaki... super... C'était pour l'Air New Zealand Cup... Voilou... On a fait le tour de la péninsule de Coromandel... il pleuvait samedi, ce qui nous a empêché d'atteindre le sommet de Pinnacles dans la réserve de Kauaerenga. Mais on a aimé les côtes... cela nous ne pouvons l'exprimer qu'à travers de nos yeux ;)
Rando dans la reserve de Kauaerenga...
Premier jour... autoroute 25 entre Thames et la ville de Coromandel
La folie le lendemain, quand on a vu une belle playa en quittant la ville de Coromandel!!! Let's jump into the Pacific!!!
La ville de Whitianga... avec le bon vieux hamburger chez Flippers, yeah man!!!
Hahei beach... le reve!
Cathedral Cove... splendid!
Sinon, le projet avance bien, quelques difficultés non prévues lorsque l'on a commencé à découper les échantillons... mais tout s'arrange... Je pense faire une petite intro de notre université d'ici bientôt...
