Today the sun shone and the wind blew, so we packed a picnic and went to Karekare to see the waterfall. After all the rain the waterfalls are gorged and overflowing. What is usually a delicate trickle was more of a rapid.
On the way we stopped at the Titirangi craft market and browsed through the hundreds of little stalls. Quite an eclectic mix of folk there - must take photos next time.. there were even morris dancers!
Then, on to the black sand beaches and clambering over the dunes we discovered the path had become a lake.
Lots of kite-flyers on the beach because it was low tide and The Sentinel (sea-rock) was almost reachable as the tide was so low. The sun shone - note the sunglasses!
We bought some sweet treats at the bakery and gorgeous coffee at the restaurant 'Elevation' (one of the best views of Auckland from their balcony).
All in all, a good day!
