Phil and I have just spent a LUSH weekend for Easter up at Port Jackson right on the top of the Coromandel. We took our tent and camped right on the beach - totally glorious! Baby O seemed to like the trip away too!

Port Jackson - with the campsite right on the beach.

For those of you who like maps - this one on the left shows Port Jackson right at the top of the peninsula. To get there you have to drive all the way round from Auckland (shown by the road being yellow and red - and it takes a good 4 hours).

The drive up the west coast of the Coromandel was stunning - you leave the gravel road at Colville and also leave the people behind too!

Phil's favourite view....green grass, view of the sea and a stunning pebble filled river .

Not a bad view from the tent!

Baby bump at 33 weeks enjoyed lots of swimming and walking.

Looking towards Great Barrier Island with a wonderful twinkly sea.

It is the kind of place that makes you want to leap around for joy!

New Zealand does the most FANTASTIC greens and blues....

Phil managed a cheeky run in anticipation of his IRON MAN challenge.....or is it just a TRI?

That's us!

Always time for a quick throwing game!

We like this shot....

Yes, we'll be back!
