About this video:
It’s Day 7 of New Zealand’s Biggest Gap Year and a whole week since we started our challenge of 365 activities in 365 days in New Zealand. Today’s activity is a road trip on The 309 Road in the Coromandel. Along the way, we stop off at Waiau Falls, a stunning waterfall just off the side of the 309 Road among beautiful forest scenery. The trip takes us on a winding gravel road through the stunning valleys as we travel from the west coast of the Coromandel to the east coast.

We arrive in the Coromandel town of Whitianga where we treat ourselves to a classic New Zealand meal: fish and chips! We take them down to the Whitianga waterfront, but little do we know that we are being followed... Someone, or something, is after our fish and chips!

After the fish and chips incident, we check out the relaxing Whitianga Beach for a taste of coastal life on the Coromandel Peninsula.
