Today we left Thames and headed up the coast and around the Coromandel Peninsula. The trip took about three hours. The roads were very windy and often became one lane several points in time. After winding through the mountains we were treated to some magnificent views, and also to Austin's car sicknes...okay, he didn't actually get sick, but we did have to roll down the windows and slow down a bit just in case. Since we are on a dial-up connection tonight we will wait until we have access to a higher speed internet connection before we try and upload some photos from this adventure. I hope the photos do justice to the awesome beauty of the landscape.
After leaving the peninsula, we headed for Clarks Beach to my aunt's house. We have arrived in safely and Shawn is happy to not have to unload luggage again until it's time to leave for the States. We plan to stay here the rest of our trip and do some day trips in and around Auckland and also catch up with some friends.

Wow! Sounds like you are getting some great sight-seeing done. Those were great pictures and the kids look like they are having a blast. Can't wait to see that video you were referring to. Cheryl...you know you could probably use that as blackmail if you wanted...heh heh
