Whangarei Trip - part 2

At the side of the house, there was a sign that said "beach" and it led to this path.  Beaches always mean good news so we gladly followed the track even if it meant we had to do a semi-hike in wrong attires and wrong shoes - or the lack of shoes.  


Happy!

This is the NZ silver fern.  I learned from Mike that this plant, native to NZ, has a silver hue and is useful when planted along tracks for night walks.  Bongga!  Silver!

Finally, the beach!  

Don't be deceived by the seemingly powerful glares of the sun.  The water is still ice-cold if we were to use my standards.  No swim, just dawdaw the feet.  All good.

After inhaling the glorious beach scent, we went back and drove further to Matapouri beach - a white beach!




And hopped to the other side of town to check out more beach views.

As we missed Keyla, we did this and sent her the photo :)

I love happy paths that lead to beaches :)

I know I will never get tired of walking along beaches, it fills all my senses!  I could bask under the sun the whole day - sunblock or no sunblock, migrai..... no migraines, please!

Dinner was take-away pizza and lots of beer and wine.  Wine has been a necessity for me... for reasons I'd rather not discuss!

The day was a success.  One of our most memorable travels :)
