Cambridge, Raglan
Just went on my own wee road trip to the West Coast. Drove through Tauranga on the way to Cambridge for the first night (had to get 2 new tyres on the way having felt a bit "wobbly" recently!) Stopped at McClaren Falls Park which is really nice...would be a great camping spot.
Spent a day in Cambridge, went for a bike ride and relaxed in the park for a while...village is small but sweet. On to Raglan. Beautiful spot on the coast - surfer's paradise I'd imagine...its a bit of a tourist town but there are magic views from around the coast. I biked to Bridal Veil falls which was a really nice spot, then climbed up Mt. Kairoi which gave superb views...it was a pretty steep climb in spots and even required a chain!
Spent a day in Hamilton - did a bit of shopping, had a run around Rotorua Lake, and biked along the pathway by the Waikato River - its a nice spot. I love all the pathways for walking/running/biking around cities here...a real effort is made to make it scenic despite being so close to the business of the centre.
