To Auckland

Today we left the very wet Coramandel Peninsula to drive to Auckland.  It stopped raining as we got back to the main highway and brightened up as we neared Auckland.  We saw more cars on our drive today than we have in the whole of the remainder of our time here!  We went to the Auckland Museum to see the Maori Gallery and some of the other exhibits, we did this in two sessions sandwiching a trip to Takapuna (one of the suburbs) to meet up with Matt Lambert.  In trying to find Matt and then a parking space, we missed meeting Rochelle, his girlfriend, by 5 minutes, which was a pity.  We have checked in to our last B&B now; golf tomorrow and then some more sightseeing.
