Aotearoa offers so much, we have a lot of wonderful native bush, birds, insects and breathe taking coastlines. The amount of freedom we have to live in nooks with barely a sole in sight or a city with busy people hustling past is incredible. It is up to us, we can choose what ever suits our lifestyle.
The reason for such deep thoughts about New Zealand and its’ beauty is because at this minute I am being inspired by the bird songs, the cicadas’ tuuurp and the cool breeze which is floating through the ferns and Punga trees with the coast not far for a dip to cool the limbs.
Eleven days of being on the road has been awesome, we have so far covered spots which have been experienced before but every time has something different going on. The west coast offered us some beautiful waves with a huge crowd but surprisingly mellow vibes. We then made our way over east where they have been starved for waves all summer but I can say now that we are in for a pumping surprise, nevertheless the water is beautiful, after have three swims and a classic kiwi BBQ under the Pohutukawa trees I had had my ocean fix. It is such a novelty coming from the South where yes it stays light for ages at night but the cool air tends to drive us back inside, here it is generally only the mozzies that will do that.
This particular east coast spot is a new area to me and the experience has been epic! The classic Kiwi BBQ under the Pohutukawa trees until the moon came out and a solid 4wd trip up into the hill and back down again to be greeted by an absolutely amazing little bay secluded and bare have been the two highlights so far. Oh and winning the rock off (meaning I didn’t have to) eat a whole fresh chillie accompanied by a big tea spoon of the hottest chillie sauce on offer, poor guy nailed it though!
Today is a day in the garden and hopefully a surf somewhere close. So much fruit has been consumed too! We found the most amazing cheap as chips fruit barn, styling!
Happy surfing 
Fun day
