Photo of State Highway 309. Waterfall from view point (below) We were above it and our view was obscured by tree ferns and other plants. We walked a little further because I thought there maybe a better view but it wasn't much of one. As we turned back to the car we saw a footpath off to the left and it turned out to be access to the falls at river level. Lovely. The rest of the journey to Thames was uneventful with some good views, particularly over the sea but nothing as spectacular as yesterday. Spent a pleasant hour in Thames although there was no access to the shore. Back in the car and on to Paeroa for lunch. What a disappointment. The cafes were, on the whole, appalling. We eventually found somewhere to eat that wasn't too bad, but wasn't riveting either. Glad to leave the town behind and set off to Tauranga via Karagahake Gorge, which we thought we had travelled through yesterday but we were actually somewhere completely different.
