On May 16, 2014, Jody and I "bid adieu" to Hamilton for our 90 minute road trip to our waiting chalet in the town of Thames on the Coromandel Peninsula. What a fabulous chalet. I thought we were on our honeymoon. The chalet was located high atop a hill overlooking the peninsula with an entire glass wall overlooking the water. A simply breathtaking view.
I swear, I don't know where they get these mountains - "Here come old flatop, he come groovin' up slowly...... Come Together - The Beatles
The view from our chalet room.
Our own private balcony overlooking the peninsula.
On our last night at the chalet, a cold one temperature-wise, we went out to the hot tub under the Milky Way that was clearly visible and enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing, HOT, soak. Despite the chalet being filled with guests, we were the only ones enjoying the hot tub. Really nice!
After settling in at the chalet, Jody and I took a road trip to nowhere along the peninsula just to see what we could see. Not exactly a place to sunbathe on the beach, that is, unless you love rocks.
Sorry, but I just can't get enough of these green and blue colours.
