We proceeded on, to Tauranga, on the Bay of Plenty, where we found one of our best campsites yet, Fernland Spa. A mineral, thermal-type spa, not really a campground at all, but which permits tenters and RVs, with the usual amenities. We pretty much had the place to ourselves. Next day we went into Tauranga and then spent the afternoon at the beach at Mt. Maunganui. And then went back for another night at the spa.
