happy medium

Really needed this! Took full advantage of a hot summer’s day and headed with Matt down to a beach. This time to Maraetai, which is along the East coast from downtown. I remember visiting there in my first month in New Zealand (should be at the start of happymedium), and how good it would have been to have a swim.

Took about 45 minutes to drive out there, half the journey is in suburbia, with housing estates and huge malls, then suddenly the sprawl stops dead and your into another world of countryside and winding roads. Here’s the view on googlemaps:

As you can see the beach is stunning, and the water perfect for swimming:

Stopped at a typical Dairy (Newsagents) on the way home for icecream. Great day.
