Day Trip North

At the end of October, we took a day trip north of Auckland. We had our favorite NZ beef pizza (hard to find around here) in Wellsford at a little cafe and stopped to take a few pictures along the roadside on the way.

Pakiri beach was our main destination and was a beautiful, huge, white sand beach. There wasn't much sun, but we spent some time there taking photos and enjoying the view... and planning to come back in warmer weather.

On the way back we stopped off at some scenic overlooks and Goat Island Marina, which we saw for the first time in the sun. We could finally see some fish off the rocks!
