Weekend Trip to the Coromandel Peninsula
Last weekend we travelled to the Coromandel Peninsula. It was fantastic and just one and a half hours away from Auckland. Here some highlights of our trips:
Hotwater Beach, we dug a pit in the sand during low tide and let the volcanic activity heat the water for a spa like experience. Did I mention it was at night? We were wandering around with shovels trying to figure out where to dig. We found the spot after falling into a steaming hot pools. I saw a couple of shooting stars, very memorable night. And we met a very nice couple from Oz.
We encountered wild turkeys and they were entertaining! See for yourself on our youtube debut:
The next day was beautiful for beachcombing at Shakespeare Cove.

You should have caught the wild turkeys and eaten them. My husband bought me home some a local farmer shot. They are delicious but he forgot to take the undigested grass and grain out of the birds. we still ate them .The taste was memorable.
I don't know why, but I was told that wild turkeys in NZ are not considered good. Something about them being 'rat' like and not the in thing to eat. I don't think I've ever had wild turkey, I have had bear and venison, which are very strong. Not too much of a meat eater myself, though occasionally I partake.
