Thames Vacation Guide

Thames, sits at the bottom of the Firth of Thames. It is located on the road that is used by many on their way to the Coramandel Peninsular.

Thames came about during the gold rush with miners flocking to the area by the hundreds. Though mining is no longer conducted in the area, it left an impact which can be seen with a mine being maintained as a museum and many miners cottages dotted around town.

a map and some photos of my slightly unplanned trip around the world. The map outlines the general route I took, not counting the backtracking and double visits.
