Waharau Park to Coromandel Town

Quick summary for today - we woke up and headed south along the coast. Stopped to see lots of shorebirds and popped into the Miranda Shorebird Centre to by guidebooks. Met a really nice woman there from S. Africa. Kept driving south around the Firth and over to Thames. Did some shopping, and then continued on the very scenic road up to Coromandel (Town).

You mentioned meeting a woman from S.A. - have you noticed many foreigners on the peninsula or around the smaller towns? Just curious... The reason I ask is because the Coromandel Peninsula's tourist website was pretty fancy; it looks like they draw a lot of tourists.
