NZ 1 North

AFter staying in Auckland for a few nights, our AirBnB host brought us to the starting point along the coast. Biking out of Auckland is not easy with two tandems and two kids. We then headed South around the bay to arrive two days later in Coromandel. We stayed at a Warmshower guest for two nights. Cycling from Coromandel to the East coast requires a good fitness and a quite light bike. Again it was not an option for us, so we rented a car in Coromandel and drove to the beaches for a day. We then cycled back down towards Thames and further South until Matamata. From Matamata, we cycled to Hamilton where we rented a car to visit Rotorua for a few days.
