End of first week thoughts.

• The Coromandel Peninsula is very hilly.
• It is very pretty
• New Zealanders are very friendly and helpful
• We gain a lot of attention at pull outs (view points)
• Camp kitchens are great to meet people and discuss new routes, places we should visit, the difference between Canadian intensive farming and New Zealand intensive farming (with Eric from Kitchener/Waterloo area) and even politics with a young German couple (Wolfgang and Kristine).
