Coromandel Miranda Holiday Park was the ending of another great year for us in New Zealand, something we were all not used to doing as a family around Christmas time, normally we would be accustomed to staying at home and having a traditional family get together.

The last time we had camped as a family was way back in 1990 in Austria which was so long ago, this trip was going to be remembered for living in comfort with our double blow up bed on a stand off the floor which turned out to be so comforting compared to the days of lying on the floor in the tent. More mod cons included the deluxe cooker and gas bottle, kitchen table with benches to sit and have your meal. Overall the camping trip went extraordinarily well, the camp site was five star with a hot pool, tennis court, adventure playground, 5 star kitchen, could not have picked a better site to stay to be truthful, so now all we need to do is make plans for our trip up North in 2009.
