Welcome to
the constantly traveling website -
The Bay of Plenty Region
From the
Coromandel we catch back up with Route 2 at Waihi going south toward Tauranga. One of the best
parks to stay at is Athenree Hot Springs .
It is 23 kms to
the town of Katikati. To the East is the Tauranga Harbour and to the
West is the Kaimai-Mamaku Forest.
If you
want enjoy the Tauranga area go out to Mount Maunganui to have a poke
around. Great galleries and shops to wander around and enjoy. Two great
parks to stay at in the area are the Cosy Corner Motor Camp in town
and further along is the Papamoa
Beach Top Ten .
Continuing along the
seaside most of the way close you pass through the town of Te Puke.This
is kiwi fruit country so be sure to stop by on eof the
places having them for sale and grab a bag. Not a fruit higher in
vitamin C and good too.
The next place to check out is
White Island - White
Island Tours
Route 2 continues
southeast until reaching Opotiki where it takes a sharp dogleg south
and cuts 73 kms through one of the most scenic drives in this part of
the country toward Gisborne.
An alternative route
that follows the coastline is to take Route 35 up and around the Cape.
Again not many tourists get to take this route because of time
limitations. A real shame as it is a wonderful drive.
