We arrived in Hahei which is a little coastal town in the Coromandal region on the north East coast mid afternoon after a sunny travel day. It's famous for being a very scenic strip of coast with excellent kayaking but within about 10 minutes of getting off the bus the clouds rolled in! I went for a walk down the beach to Cathedral cove but sadly by the time I got there it was raining lots. Near Hahei is Hot Water Beach which has patches of geothermic hot water pooling at the surface at low tide. Low tide was at about 10.30pm so we all piled into the bus in the rain to dig a pit on the beach. It was a really odd experience but the water was far too hot to sit in.
The next morning and still raining we headed over the the west coast to the surf spot of Raglan. I was hoping to go body boarding but we were staying 45 minutes walk from the beach and the weather wasn't great to be sitting out. Instead a few of us went on a rain forest walk around the hostel which was lots of fun despite the fact it was pretty steep and slippery in the mud.
