Notes from travel from Coromandel Town to Hahei:
1. Time change this AM. Moved clock back 1 hour. Earlier sunrise and sunset.
2. Took road 309 toward Whitianga. Part gravel (and of course winding and narrow).
3. Planned to stop at the Waiau Waterworks Park but got there too early -- not open.
4. Stopped at Waiau Falls -- secluded and pretty.
5. Arrived in Whitianga around 9:30am. They were having the Festival of Speed this weekend. Town streets were blocked off for activities. There were a number of classic cars parked in the street. There was a motorcycyle stunt driver performing. I had front row viewing. There were also airplane flyovers.
6. I checked in early at the Tatahi Lodge hostel in Hahei -- very new, modern, and clean. Room cost $15 US per nite -- great bargain. Nice kitchen and lounging area. Also finally got an internet connection.
7. Walked on beach. Had a giant burger at local pub.
