Maraetai beach

We have had such beautiful weather lately that we just had to go down to the beach for some fishing and enjoy the sunshine. The car's ambient temperature guage said it was 8 degrees - lies, I tell you! In the UK anything below 10 degrees is bitter cold but here in NZ we were in short sleeves! It felt more like 17 or 18 degrees. We loved the bright sunshines and blue skies.

For those of you who are wondering: no, they didn't catch any fish ;)

  3. Thanks for keeping us updated on your new life. I am surprised to see the severe lack of waves... I guess I just thought there would be waves like in SA. Do you know why there arent?

  4. Thanks, Karen and Lynn.
    Gillian, that particular bit of beach is in a natural harbour on the east coast. There are loads of waves outside of the harbour and the west coast has awesome surf. You can see the waves in my pics of Sunset Beach, which is on the west coast.
