Maybe I should have joined the girl scouts as a kid – I got lost today. Would not have happened with proper navigating skills, maybe… I fetched my rental car today (the ugliest model in the entire world, but who cares as long as it doesn’t break down), and headed towards two black-sanded beaches which are famous among surfers due to their strong waves and currents. I took the signposted road to Karekare to see the “mysterious” of the two. But instead of leading to that damn beach, the road took a million bends which nearly made me sick and led back to the main road, making me pass the signpost to Karekare again one hour later… No, I was not drunk, there just was no beach, nowhere! The exit I came out read “The Lone Kauri Road”.
Anyway, I went to Piha insread to see some surfers and climb Lions Head, a sacred maori site towering over the black sands on shore.
Lush green landscape in Piha.
The little babies fled before my camera.
Black as sand can get.
Swim between the flags. (Which stood 12 meters apart)
Piha black sand – viw from Lions Head.
Yeah…got it. Easy.
