Our first real NZ beach...

We have spent a lot of time in the city running errands since we got here and so decided it was about time we got out of the city proper. So we headed west to a place called Titirangi. Wow. We have found where we want to live in Auckland ( at least til we find somewhere better ;0) ). A lot more leafy than the suburbs we have seen so far and with great views of the city and bay. A wee bit pricey though, so may have to wait a while…

Still a walk down towards the coast and a tip from a local led us to find our first "real" NZ beach. By which we mean a natural beach, virtually deserted (it was when we arrived). As we approached the beach along a canopied bush track we both thought - this is it, now we are in New Zealand. To top it all off, the sun came out and has been shining since. :0)
