Coromandel Peninsula, NZ: Cathedral Cove

Coromandel was a great spot for beaches. We stayed there for 4 days! We were close to the beach and had an amazing time.  One of the prettiest beaches I’ve seen was there. It was Cathdrel Cove, it was beautiful. It was where the Chronicles of Narnia was filmed a bit. It has an amazing cave and landscape. I loved how protected we were in there and how calm it was. It was very touristy but still worth a visit....

Kinnon and I slept on the pulled-out couch, but for a view like that, it was worth it. The first few...

Piha, NZ: Black Sand Beach

Piha beach was very nice. The beach was so beautiful and had such picturesque views. I loved how the beach was never ending and we always had it to ourselves. Our Airbnb was perfect!

We went on a waterfall hike and it was very pretty....

I didn’t get any tricks but I made a lot of progress while ch will be easier to get them...

First month in September

The first month in New Zealand was great! We started school and we started our activities. The first week was pretty chill. We were just getting used to the time change and just moving into our AirBnB. The next week we started school and everything. The school schedule is pretty good. We start at 9 am and end at 3 pm. On Thursdays, we go on hikes and on Fridays, we do something fun. The hikes have been good there...
