| Coast to Coast in... 'bout 30 minutes! Our trip to Piha, on Auckland's West Coast. |
| Well first things first, it took more like one hour. This was because my Roomies/ Friends trusted my sence of direction! We were determined to visit the beautiful Piha Beach on the West Coast. We live on the East Coast. Anyway, I thought I new the way. We ended up ascending the Waitakere Mountains (which need to be crossed to reach the Beach) on a road barely wide enough to hold Kathryn's wee Honda Integra. Cut a long story short, we finally made it and here are the pics to prove it! |

| Aparently there are Penguins at Piha Beach... I didn't bloody see any! Anyway, a place that can harbour Penguins must be special! |
| We return to the safety and comfort ot the Pacific Coast. Is that a Volcano in the centre right of the photo? Oh yeah... forgot about the damn Volcano. |
| The friendly and Inviting East (Pacific) Coast of Auckland's North Shore became boring... we were after excitement! "Off to the rugged and Dangerous West (Tasman Sea) Coast!" I suggest! The odessy begins... |
| Fee and I rest after the climb up the Waitakere Range... Auckland lays behind us, so close yet so distant... |
| Piha Beach comes into sight! Our mission was not in vain afterall! Australia is over that water... somewhere... |
| Kathryn and Fiona comfort eachother after the arduous journey. |
| Bathing in the Glory of my navigational skills, I relax with a sweet treat on the beach. Yet, the homely Pacific Coast beckons, and our day of fun and play at Piha comes to an end... |
