Cathedral Cove

Friday 26th January 2007
Left Cook's Beach cabin about 10am but still had lots to do in Coromandel.
Decided to go in search of Cathedral Cove. It involves a 45 minute walk along the cliff top to a cove that adjoins another cove by way of a large - very large hole. Check out the photos - very impressive. We hung around there for a an hour or so pretending the few drops of rain that were falling were not happening. Jes and Joe went exploring the small cove and found a natural fresh water shower. Jes took advantage of this, had a shower and managed to clean off the salt water and sand. Both Joe and Millie refused to go in claiming it was too cold so before we set back on our walk Jes thought he'd give Millie's bikini a quick rinse in the sea. He went with two pieces and came back with only one. The sea had taken Millie's bottoms!! Fortunately no tears just giggles.

Because we had such a great time there the previous day we decided to venture back to Hot Water beach before we began the journey back to Auckland. Sadly the weather wasn't as kind to us and we cut short our visit before low tide so we weren't able to build another spa pool. Did manage to get a good amount of wave jumping in though.
