I had a University-rented car for the day (Thurs 11/04/10) to pick up my corals and other supplies around Auckland. Since I was done earlier than expected, Hannah and I decided to drive over to the famous Piha beach.
Piha is New Zealand's most famous surf beach. Situated on the west coast of the North Island, about 40 kilometers from the city of Auckland, this black iron-sand beach has a reputation for awesome surf. Piha is not just surf and sand. With rugged cliffs and the majestic Lion Rock standing guard over the beach, the scenery is dramatic and inspiring. As always, Hannah had to break the law and climbed over the non-entry-restricted part of Lion Rock. :) The beach is backed by the Waitakere Ranges, a protected parkland of sub-tropical forest, accessible through numerous bush tracks. We will definitely be back there again to do some bush hiking.
