Well it's hard to believe that it's the final week of my Great
Coffey Road Trip! I really don't know where the past five weeks
have gone!
But, wow, Thames.. the 'gateway to the Coromandel' as they call it,
and what a gorgeous place to start the week. We were down at
Victoria Park, just off the main road where we had it all; sun,
blue skies, pohutakawa trees, and the lovely Hauraki Gulf. Not to
mention of course the lovely people of Thames.
I learned a lot today about the way that gold was mined during the
19th century, Russell from the School of Mines brought down his
awesome stamper model. And I had another history lesson with the
old 1929 Reo Speed Wagon, that did the 'cream run' during the war..
and it's still going!
Thanks to Pat and Vince from Carson's bookstore on the main
street for bringing down the restored beauty, it was great to to
get Santa in the back of it!
We also met Trevor, a faithful McDonalds customer every day for the
past fifteen years. He's now made the transition to McCafe for his
coffee so he's doing great.
Also a huge thanks for the Te Puri dancers, who placed in the
Pohutakawa Festival competition - they were awesome.
I then had an incredible scrambled eggs on toast breakfast at a
cafe down the main street, plus a huge chocolate milkshake.
Cheers Thames for turning it on!
We're now off to the lovely Orewa for some fun in the sun :)
Come on down if you're near! We'll be near the surf club, you can't
miss that Winnebago!
