Saturday 2nd May

As expected the band last night was somewhat loud - the bar being directly below our bedroom at The Admiral's Arms, but a sleeping pill made sure I wasn’t disturbed too much!
We left Coromandel Town at around 0900 under heavy cloud and pouring rain. I wasn’t too bothered by the weather - had it been blue sky, sun and blue sea that lovely peninsula would have been harder to leave. The first 50km of the drive was along a lovely coastline - at least it would have been had it not been for low cloud and rain. We were heading for Auckland but had a planned stop in a small town called Pokeno just south of Auckland. Terry to meet up with her ex brother-in-law and me to call in to see the daughter of an ex neighbour of mine in Woking. It was good to catch up with Carolyn again.
We arrived at our destination around 2.30pm and are staying with friends of Terry, Heather and Michael, at a place called Titirango on the outskirts of Auckland. We have been made very welcome and we are staying her for 3 nights.
So nothing else to report today….
