| 1st road trip Jan '08 !!! |
Went to Omaha beach;
Funny enough, at 2PM on mon, there was a shark attack at Omaha beach; So when we reached there at about 5PM (whew,luckylucky), we were like...WHOA!!! Sharks!!! Damn! Beach is off limits to swimming;
We only know about the shark attacking 2 lifeguards in the paper the next day; But still......
anyway, we did went out into the water when we got there and saw a man riding a horse and wet our feet; We were fried from the heat from driving all the way from Puke;
To add to the psychic abilities I possess: A couple days prior to going on the trip, I kept reminding Louise that I do not want to go to any beaches that have sharks in them...LOL
On weds, on the way back home, we stopped to refuel the van, and to our amazement, we saw "Shark Jam at Coromandel Beach" frontpage news !! LOL!! Thank god we decided NOT to go to the Coromandel Peninsula for our road trip this week!!!!!!! WHEW~~~
We went to Matakana too; Rich place;
Very nice beach they've got there; But town wise...it's totally dead..lol
Saw lots of vineyards up north along the way into Matakana;
And they all have self-service vegie stalls that works on the honour system; I don't think anyone steals the vegies or took money out of the pot or anything dishonest like that; Which makes me like this country even more;
I even remarked to Louise that if it is in south Auckland like Otara, I think even the stall would be gone; And she replied, "Hahaha! Nah...I think everything would be gone only thing left is the graffiti on the stall! HAHA!!"
I couldn't agree more;
We were at Orewa Beach when I took the vball pics;
And we decided to just go to Waipu Cove on the way back home; (Waipu *why-poo* when you can fart?)
Cheers;
