A short boat ride out of Auckland, more beautiful weather, and great views await us at the top of the 184-step stair case from the beach to the backpackers (Em in heels). Get a bead on, and following check in, splash it up with a swim in the sea. Later we meet a Gemma O’Grady look-(and sound)-a-like, although perhaps several years older.
A nice plan - no plan. This is a nice if unfamiliar feeling.
Swim in the sea again. Sit and watch a scatty lady charging about the sea book (or camera) in hand. Another lady films some sort of yoga. A muscular looking man drags his sea-kayak down to the water, with his small dog following on behind. A trip for them both in the boat is aborted when the waves turn the kayak upside down (with the yappy dog in it). After a brief rescue, and return to the beach, the tough guy tenderly makes friends with his drowned pet again. This is their last seafaring adventure of the day.
Really beautiful place. Swims, beach runs, mussels, bushwalks, and happy 3 hours with Monteiths Original for $4. Sweet.
