First days with rain - Gaudint dels primers dies de pluja!

[En català al final]

I've been travelling for 3 days. All with a marvellous weather: wind, cold, clouds and raining. It seems like the summer doesn't want allow me to enjoy my trip... Anyway, stop complaining!!!

My first day, on Saturday we had a “hot” bath in Hot Water Beach on Coromandel. Be careful people, it's really hot the water and what's more the sand can boil your feet (from my own experience). The night in Hahei was like a winter night!

In the group there are people from a lot of countries, and for the first time in New Zealand there is no Asian people! Canada, Ireland, England,USA, Switzerland, Italy and Holland and maybe some I've already forget. Everyday there's somebody new and we “loose” somebody. Good fun altogether!

Next day Raglan, in the west coast. I could enjoy trying a new sport which I really I would like to do again, just for seeing again the teacher... The night in the lodge was so good, and we could see glowworms for free! No cooking for a while is rewarding! The bus driver usually does for us.

Today was a long journey Raglan stopping in Waitomo, which I didn't visit as I did when Laura was here. Next was a freezing jump on one river, before Rotorua, on the way to Maketu (Bay of Plenty, east coast not very far from Coromandel).

So tonight we had no option: dinner, Maori lessons of Toi for the girls and Haka for the guys, sleeping with mattress in the same place and tomorrow breakfast included. It was a good experience, but the price we payed I think it's very very expensive.

My travel plan - El meu viatge

 _________________________________________________________________________

Després de viatjar 3 dies només em puc queixar el marevellós temps que ens està acompanyant: vent, fred, núvols I pluja. Sembla que l'estiu no em vulgui deixar gaudir del vitge...

El meu primer dia, el dissabte ens vem banyar a la platja d'aigua calenta a Coromande. Per cert, aneu amb compte: l'aigua és calenta de veritat I la sorra pot escalivar els peus (parlo per experiència). La nit la vem passar a Hahei on semblava que fós ple hivern!

El grup està format per gent d'arreu I per primer cop a Nova Zelanda no hi ha asiàtics! Canadà, Irlanda, Anglaterra, USA, Suïssa, Itàlia i Holanda I probablement algún més que em deixo. Cada dia hi ha alguna gent que abandona el grup I d'altres que s'afegeixen. Divertit!

El dia següent a Raglan, a la costa oest. Aquí vaig provar un nou esport: surf. Mooooolt recomanable, especialment per un dels professors... A la nit vem poder gaudir dels cucs de llums gratis. El fet de no haver de cuinar m'estalvia molts maldecaps (per cert, el conductor generalment també és el nostre xef).

Avui ha tocat un dia llarg de viatge. Desde Raglan cap a Waitomo (coves, que no he visitat ja que les vaig veure amb la Laura). A mig camí de Maketu, abans de Rotorua, ens hem aturat a fer un salt en un ràpid d'un riu. L'aigua congelada sempre va bé per activar la circulació (I per dir penjaments també).

Vetllada Maori. Dinar, espectacle I classes per aprendre Toi per les noies I Haka pels nois. Aquesta nit dormirem aquí en matalassos al terra tots plegats. Realment una experiència molt recomenable si no fós per l'abusiu preu.
