No images again on this one, I am sitting in a cafe in Coromandel with about 10 minutes left on the internet, so what you're about to read is a super quick piece of speed blogging in which I hope to cover the last week or so. Apologies for the poor grammar (you won't notice the difference).
So what rivers are around Coromandel you ask? None at all, apart from a class IV run near Auckland. We're here clearly not here because of the boating then, we're here because Sam didn't listen to his body, was way too keen to go boating, and dislocated his shoulder on the Kaituna. Muppet! After initial aches and interesting crunching sensations on the first run down the Kaituna, I thought it'd be a good idea to take a few days off, which I did. But then we went out on the Rangiteiki (which was awesome) and felt good enough to go down the Kaituna again (which is also awesome). One mostly unintentional beating in a hole at the bottom of the river and out pops the shoulder and here we are!
The plan now then is to relax for a little while, take lots of paracetamol (yum) and hang out in Auckland for a little while, playing at being tourists. Auckland is also where I'm going to get some physio to sort my shoulder out once and for all.
And there it is folks - amusing videos and more in depth river reports coming soon. With some photos!
Catch you all soon,
Sam and Doug
