We continued down along the east coast of the Coramandel peninsula, via some hilly terrain with a good selection of bends and gradients, as far as Whangamata. The main attraction here was the beach, with good surfing waves but again not so good for swimming, with uneven sand and a strong undertow. Not that the surfers we saw were particularly proficient. There was a choice of two motorcamps; after a comparison of external features we opted for the more central of the two, with easy access both to the beach and to the town's somewhat limited night-life. The latter did not include a great deal of choice over eating arrangements, unless it was a take-away one fancied. The most modern-looking was also the most empty, and, as we discovered later, up for sale. Fortunately Nero's cafe came to our rescue with a chicken and mango pizza that was both novel and tasty, preceded by chowder and mussels.
