Glory, glory hallelujah! I broke out of Auckland finally and it's all true. This country is unreal beautiful. I was "oohing" and 'aaahiing" my whole way to the Coromandel Peninsula, about 3 hours west of Auckland.
Stayed at Ouepere Beach, which was like Pt. Reyes Seashore on drugs. (And I don't mean like witnessing PRNS on drugs; I mean it was like the Seashore itself had taken some high-powered stuff...) Dreamy, exotic, hypnotizing, serene, lush and pregnant. It was one of most spectacular places I have ever camped...More bunny rabbits running around than people. Purely delightful, and completely uplifting. Slept under the stars with the sounds of surf and wind in the pines above...I was positively tingling with happiness.
To boot, my surgery seems to be responding to the steroids, so I may be recovered soon and out in the backcountry. I'm using the recovery time to head south and spend some time in the South Island before XMAS, when everything gets crazy.
