A nice breakfast at the Cotswold Cottages before driving to Coromandel over some interesting terrain as can be seen from this scenic highway with a speed rating of 100Km/h but a reality rating of 10km/h given the fact that it’s wide enough for 1 and a half cars only and hair pin bends and no barrier into the sea beneath. So a slowish drive before stopping for oysters and mussels gumbo in the pouring rain.

Up to the Driving Creek railway which is a narrow gauge built by some old boy in the 70s that zigzags back and forth over 30 mins to the top of the mountain with spectacular views.

And now we are sat having a coffee in a hippee cafe before heading to the hotel for this evening.
