Lighthouse success

Manukau heads lighthouse was easier to get to than Puoto Point. :)

ANZAC day landed on a Wednesday this year. It made Tuesday feel like Friday (which was nice). But then it made Thursday feel like a second Monday in the week (not so nice). Maybe it will make Friday feel like double plus Friday? We shall see tomorrow.

For ANZAC day, I went to the lighthouse at Manukau Heads, followed by some beach lounging time and a short walk at Awhitu Regional Park. It was another gorgeous day!

My (real) phone is near, so pardon the quality of the photos just a little bit longer.








I cannot tell if that is graffiti in the side of the wall or bird houses? Or both?


I was promised an island, but the tide was too far out.




Picture frame!


And some dark artwork in the lighthouse.

Easter trip - Paparoa

Fantastic long weekend in the Kaipara district. We stayed just outside of Paparoa in a fabulous airbnb (Let us know if you'd like a recommendation of where to stay in this area) with trips out to Taiharuru, Pataua, and Pouto. From Pouto, we attempted to make it to the historic lighthouse. Turns out it was a bit further and bit more strenuous hike than we had anticipated. With more research though, we are ready to tackle it next time! It is beautiful - you should google it.  Here are some photos from our drive, our airbnb, B sleeping in a tree, and from sunset dinner on the beach back in Auckland.

AKL to WLG to road trip!

We flew from Auckland to Wellington early Saturday morning to relocate a car back to Auckland. The early morning Uber ride was ... terrifying. Along with the typical driving skills of a Prius driver, our driver was also falling asleep at the wheel. Thankfully we made it unscathed and our pilot was not as sleepy as our driver. :) It was a fantastic drive full of lovely countryside, grazing sheep, cows in the road, the world's longest place name. Why drive straight when there are so many cool things to see?! And, on our flight down, I found what some of our next adventures are going to be!
