Found traffic jams as Auckland travelled south with us on the motorway. We were heading for a peninsula with Brian & Mary when the exodus was spotted, stationary or at a crawl. Towing boats, trailers, caravans or just a ridiculous amount of bikes on the back of the family car. However it soon dissappeared when we took an exit to find stunning countryside with our lumpy hills and valleys. We first picnic-edition in Awhitu national park with a beatiful beach and a large picture frame to pose in front of.
However we chose to move on to Big Bay that seem to live up to its name but didn't look as enticing. On again a few miles to Graham Bay where we took shade and Lesley and I took a dip in the clear warm sea. Swimming was not too easy as the current seemed to want to take us to the other end of the beach! It was good fun though even at our young age.
Back to Auckland for steak on the barby and watch the sun dissappear. Not bad?
