Piha

Although we have been back for over a week, I am only just now getting myself organised to share our awesome Auckland holiday with you all.  Our goal was to go to places we have never been in Auckland and do some new and interesting things that might feel like a little adventure.  So, famous Piha first.  We went super budget and stayed in a caravan with no running water or toilet, mmm just like home.  Oh well, it was fine and we met some nice people and had a blast discovering Piha. So gorgeous and obviously a much favoured and precious place for Aucklanders.  I liked that it was very non commercial and true to itself.  Shame about the weather but hey, the library had an awesome view.  The librarian was a bit grumpy though.  Bugger.

 Lion rock

 Awesome sand hill at North Piha beach

 One of the few Kauri trees left in the area.  It was a big logging area in the past.  Such an interesting history

 Sunset from the main house of our little accommodation space.  Sweet

 Gorgeous waterfall walk through the forest

 Up the Lion, loved it up there
