  • Hey team, we are heading back to civilization to stock up a bit and explore some of the things to there are to do in and around the Coromandel town.
    We visit the beloved water works theme park and the Waiau Water falls which made for a great swim
    We also popped into the local Art exhibition to check out some of the local talent.

      Theres heaps to do there alright. Although if you had a week of bad weather it would be a pretty challenging holiday I think. We stayed here a few years back at a place called PapaAroha, and it was just blowing it's guts out, this was pre caravan for us so after 2 nights of hardly any sleep because of the wind, we packed up and left... Out of the few other campers there, our tent was the only one that survived.

    Thanks for showing the water park. We’ve always wanted to go there but couldn’t justify the cost but it looks like good fun. We really like the Turkish restaurant in Coromandel. They do great felafel and baklava. Great video guys.

      we enjoyed some coromandel town takeaways after being up further north... I think retail therapy may have been part of it... It's nice to just pick up a meal aye.

      Its like a bunch of Dads thought of what would make their kids have a great time and laugh... I'm sure no one will read this comment, but, that maze actually had no way out, another joke, they also had a walk to a spring, which stated "waterworks is powered by a large spring" you do a little short walk and there is an actual large mechanical spring... Just classic.

      For sure, was lots of fun. Was nice to take it slow, although we love swimming and being at the beach, needed some chill time. We always try to make the most of our time when we are away... Will see how we go when we are full time travelling.

    This was fun to watch! We went on the 309 road not too long ago. We didn't do the Waterworks. We weren't sure if it was worth the money. It was neat seeing how much fun you guys had. We visited the waterfall. It was freezing when we were there. Only one of us jumped in.

    • @leopardsgowild
      @leopardsgowild  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I was planning to not swim, but I couldn't resist, wasn't the hottest day, when we were there. I really loved the waterworks Park though, it was well worth checking out.... I think if it was busy it wouldn't be so good. There a lots of little traps etc, which you would see from the people before you if it was busy, so the surprises would be gone.

      Yea it's a bit of commercialism in this video... Inland has some amazing scenary, our next video in the Kauarenga valley was beautiful. Got some great shots in there. I do love the beach though... I really can't wait to capture the mountains down south and looking at those wide rivers.

      Its about old school roads, lol... Was very windy and Narrow and gravel. But quite a few interesting spots, should have had a better look at the maps cause I would have been keen to check out some of the Kauri forest spots.
