We decided on Thursday last week that we'd go away for a few nights over Easter - one last splash out and break before we move and have to start paying a mortgage again.

Had a marvellous time in the Coromandel, staying at The Church in HaHei - fantastic. Beach-hopped our way home on the Monday.

Could put a shed load of photo's up here, but here's just a few pics from Waihi Beach.

1. (a small bit of) Waihi Beach in the sunshine.

The church was gorgeous. Lovely wooden floors, doors and windows in the units and the owners were lovely and very helpful. There are beautiful gardens all around - here's a butterfuly I captured just outside our unit.

We did indeed go on Driving Creek Railway Marcia and just for you (well and the other forumites) here's the view from the top of the "Eye Full Tower".
