Walk 14 - Muriwai

A weekend away was cancelled due to the possibility of bad weather. How stupid is this kind of thinking, in general, but seriously this is New Zealand, it rains, a lot, there are earthquakes and you know what, life goes on. Family who live only 2 hours away should not cancel because the weather may be bad.....I was not heart broken but Adam was disappointed as he likes seeing his brother and spending time with him. The weather was not that bad, there was some rain, OK a fair bit of rain. I mean we weren't talking about spending the weekend trekking through the wilderness we were going to Whangarei for goodness sake. I need to stop now and talk about the great walk we did have. Sunday saw us heading off to Muriwai Beach. The sun was out, the breeze was light but enough to clear the mind. I may have mentioned this wondrous place a few times before, um here and here oh and again here. So a special place it is. It's one of those amazing beaches that you can't see the end of, allowing you to walk and walk. We did. The furthest we have ever walked on Muriwai and boy am I out of shape. I didn't take many photos as it was a day for walking and pondering, people and dog watching, admiring those doing the life saver training and gawping at the surfers. You'll be glad to know that in true fashion and tradition of most of the places I walk there is a delightful coffee shop were we could stop for refreshments. Phew.

Rather excited as this one made Explore on Flickr
