We drove up the Kapiti coast on Saturday to stay in our first bach (beach house). After less than an hour and a half - equidistant from Stokey to Canvey Island where we accidentally went one weekend hoping it would be scenic - we were very wrong! - we arrived at a place called Otaki, turned off and headed to a little village where on the outskirts our bach stood.
On Sunday, a glorious sunny day, we walked for 7km and saw 5 people!
And we did go in the sea - even successfully body surfing!
Deserted beaches, drift wood scattered cross the dark volcanic sand.
Plains of Rohan in the background for those missing the LoTR reference!
Is that house at the top your batch? Its massive! Cant wait to share.
