Whangamata Beach 🏝 🏄‍♀️

A surf hotspot with several small islands in front of the beach to please the eyes. Again the playground was huge and also entertaining for the bigger ones. We come across climbing and parcour elements, flying fox and shady trees (amongst these the iconic and beloved Norfolk Pine). All we could wish for.
Long beach walks, sand hole digging and collecting mussel shells 🐚, a visit in town for burger and fries and in the evening a perfect freedom campground made this stop a memorable one.

How to eat a burger 🍔 with style! 😍

Cathedral Cove and Birthday 🎂 Kajak Tour

For Amélies 6th birthday we had something special on the list. A Sea-Kajak tour to the the spectacular Cathedral Cove, a stone formation directly at a remote beach area.
New Zealand gave us the full weather experience from clear blue sky and sunshine to rain and back again.

And for sure…at the campground a huge bouncy bounce was the best attraction! What a day…

Ninety Mile Beach

One of the longest beaches in the world, not really 90 miles, but almost 90 kilometers in length and a great motorway for any off road vehicle. That’s the Ninety Mile Beach, forming the west coast down from Cape Reinga.

Birds, lots of mussels and wild horses accompanied us on the drive back to Awanui. Not to forget the endless views in both directions…

Oakura beach 🏝

From The Farm you can reach several beautiful beaches around Whangaruru bay & Bay of islands.

Oakura is a village just a few minutes south, with a wounderful beach & perfect swimming opportunities.
In this area shops and restaurants are rare, so it was time for the local speciality fush & chups (yes you are guessing right, in nz slang the ‚i‘ becomes often a ‚u‘).
Yummy mate, that was sweet as, bro 😉

Piha – Surfers Paradies 🏄‍♀️ 🏄

The first stop and a perfect place to get used to our Campervan was Piha. Situated at the west coast, the little village is just a short drive away from Auckland and a go-to spot when it comes to surfing and dramatic scenery (‚The Piano’ was filmed here).

Lions Rock – a gigantic, well, yeah, rock shaped like a lion – divides the long black sanded Piha Beach into two sections.

The local Surf Shop served excellent coffee and minced & cheese pastries. Amélie got her first ‚Jandals‘ ever (Japanese Sandals as the Kiwis say…aka Flip–Flops), Peter got new boardshorts.

And one of us was brave enough to go for the first swim in the ocean… 🙂
