So im currently in Raglan...Its a small little town known for its surfing..real laid back people...annoying kids.....Peter and I camped at a local place last night and are headed out today to see some local sites.....The last week we have spent exploring the Coromandel peninsula....We started off in a little town called Thames (which is pronounced tames...complte crap in my opinion...i get hell from peter about my pronunciation all the time) which is basically at the bottom of the pen....We did some grocery shopping at the pak n save then tried to find a camping site...we drove miles to this DOC campsite and found out they were closed...we ended up sleeping on the porch of the visitor center.....Slept decently.free!...woke up the next morning and drove some local hot springs...cant remember the name of them but they are the largest ones in the southern hemisphere....so we did that and moved on north..all the days are running together but I am pretty sure at this point we drove all the way to the tip of the peninsula to a place called port jackson....what a insane place...pretty much a cove on a beach with camping spots...super secluded...so we stayed there the night....good stuff....next we headed back south to the town of Coromandel....we ended up camping at this hostel there for a couple nights...we watched the rugby match between The All Black's and the Wallabies....In my opinion American Football is way more entertaining....Its been good being out in the country...every corner is something new....From the town of Coromandel we left and drove all day to Raglan.....There is a whole lot more to tell than I can write on here....Internet is a pain in the butt in this country....it looks like I have a job lined up in Auckland so im heading back the first of next month....havent seen much wildlife...lots of birds...tons of cows and sheep...pretty sweet in general...geeze i cant believe the steelers lost to the redskins....anyways....
