Being a retreat virgin I was stepping into the unknown.  I certainly didn’t realise how exhausting being chilled out can be.  No time for sightseeing photography.  But here’s a glimpse of what I think is one of the most magical and beautiful parts of New Zealand, the Coromandel.  I might be wrong though as it was only a glimpse through the car window.  It’s a place that I’d definitely like to return to and explore more. It’s good to be home though for some good home grown magic.
