Tawharanui

We had so much fun at the beach on Thursday that our indefatigable friends (the Cockers) insisted on going to an even better beach on Friday. They really are quite amazing.

And the beach they took us to was amazing as well. It was located out on a nature preserve about 30 minutes out of Auckland. The only way to get there was via a conglomeration of winding back roads - sometimes gravel - that led through a forest and then opened suddenly on to the beach. My pictures don't do it justice, but it was incredible.
