4 hour mud mask

This is how I went out to take a 4 hour whole body mud mask. Somewhere in February I decided to sign up for 72km mountain bike race around the Coromandel peninsula with promised spectacular views to the ocean throughout the race, well it turned out to be an amazing 4 hours of soaking in mud with views close to none.

As Coromandel is one of the THE places in New Zealand the idea was to combine it with our family's first overnight weekend trip away from home at New Zealand. All the questions of how Mia will cope with long drive, sleeping in different bed and etc. etc. still to be answered at this stage.

On the morning of the race there was a beautiful mushroom rain coming from the sky, this meant: constant re-applying mud all over the body. Also involved ice slippery track, couple of crashes; heaps of adrenaline and absolutely no views to the spectacular ocean, that was somewhere below in thick fog.

Cathedral Cove in its amazing beauty, the most beautiful swimming hole I have been and seen - can be that I have said the same also in past. At the moment this place feels like the ultimate place to go for the perfect swim.
