The Epic Coromandel “We’re all grown up and renting cars” Trip


This weekend Ben, Cutter, Allie, and Rachel road tripped to the little town of Hahei on the Coromandel Peninsula in search of hot springs and adventure.

The trip got off to a rocky start with Ben losing his wallet on the train and having to backtrack to look for it (it was found thank goodness!). So with Ben’s wallet and a ’98 Hyundai with squeaky breaks and a backdoor that didn’t lock we were off for the weekend.

Although the hot springs weren’t so hot the views were spectacular. Hiking to Cathedral Cove was definitely a highlight of the trip. We ate a lot of peanut butter, jelly, and Nutella for our meals but we did have a high class dinner of wormy apples and hot dogs with Wattie’s on bread slices eaten off plates we picked up off the side of the road in a box that read “FREE.”
