Piha

So we had a beautiful sunny weekend :) We went to Piha on Saturday... it is one of the top beaches in New Zealand. It is best just to look at the gorgeous pictures that we took! The first is an overlook of the beach. The big rock in the second picture is lion rock. If the sand looks kinda dark in the pictures, it is because it is a black sand beach. We had to sprint down to the beach since the sand was so hot. It is black because of the high iron content do to the volcanic activity New Zealand previously had. It was really fun to sit on our towels and watch people sprint to the water. We took the jeep top off as you can see in the third picture... which was really fun :) The next photo is of me climbing lion rock, and then the last is of me at the top. We had a ton of fun, and this beach isn't too far, so maybe we will be going back soon :) Waiting for pictures for tomorrow's blog... keep checking!! Miss everyone!
