Starting off the Summer Journey: Piha (a run-away journey from Auckland)

Yesterday, I spent my day at Piha, a little beach town with the best surf in the country. Beautiful rock formations and little caves to explore. The scenery is covered in orange wild flowers, black sand beaches, and little sea shells that spiral like a fiddle head.




This was the exciting view looking down from the mountain as we drove to this little piece of paradise. If you look at the dash you can see our dinosaur scene.


Taking a nice stroll along the beach and seeing what there is to see. That was a brave dog (below). No fear of waves, and would dive right out there into the waves!




Waves a crashin in to the rocks, rippling down like waterfalls.






the brave photographer moment, catching the waves as they crash in. : ) The best part is when they got him! This is Ross by the way, we bought the same underwater cameras, for a Great Price!




Some neat little caves to explore : )

By the way, the run-away part of the title is because our trip to this beach was meant to get us out and away from Auckland, a surprisingly boring city. I've spent loads of time there and was ready to see something new!
