WEST COAST




Struggled up and out of bed this morning - no rain! We headed for Titirangi Craft Market with our friends Tim & Emma & Julie.
Having exhausted our shopping energies and replenished with strong coffees and a sausage sizzle, we then went on to Piha through the Waitakeres.
The black sand had been blown up over the carpark from the last few days of storms, creating huge dunes.
The sea was anything but calm and we could hear the sound of the waves thundering right from the viewpoint.
We tried to get to The Gap for some photos but the waves were crashing on the rocks and the clifftop walkway was washed away and closed. So, just pictures of Lion Rock, sea spray and waves! Absolutely exhilerating!
