Waihi Beach

| Phil | 07/02/11 at 01:50:43 pm | Categories: Out and About | 159 words

After a very busy few weeks, Su and I decided to take an afternoon off and head out to Waihi beach - about a 25 minute drive north of our new place.

It was a near-perfect afternoon; a balmy 29^oC with a cloudless sky. A little gusty on top of the dunes, but once Su and I dropped down onto the beach itself, it settled right down. The kids had all just gone back to school so the beach was nearly deserted except for a handful of holiday makers and locals.

We spent a blissful afternoon body surfing, collecting shells, taking a few photos and generally bumming around. It was excellent!

In the late afternoon, I watched groups of teens come down to swim and local residents run out kon tiki lines up to 100m from shore to catch snapper. Around 8pm, we watched the sun go down, beafore packing up and heading back home.

Some days are real smilers
