We left Coromandel town and drove back over the mountains. We stopped at this viewpoint...
... to get views like this.
Further down the coast we stopped at the Colenso Cafe, a lovely garden and orchard setting.
We left the bus at Kopu (near Thames) and took the car around to Miranda, then cycled back. This bridge is one of the places the trail loops back to the road to cross creeks.
Most of the trail was like this - flat with Coromandel's mountains on the horizon.
That's me...
... and that dot is Malcolm going on ahead to pick up the bus...
...while I waited at this cafe. I found the trail very long on a hot day!
Then we drove up the western side of the Firth of Thames to ray's rest. The area suffered a huge storm a week ago and all the shells from the beach were swept inland. It looked like snow, quite dazzling in the sun.
