We spent the weekend at Kawau Island... a little less than an hour north of Auckland and a thirty minute trip across the water from the mainland. It's a little private patch of paradise, coves lined with jetties that lead up to the baches built up on the hills. Our friend's family has had theirs for thirty years.
The weather was not on our side - it was wet but warm enough. We swam a little, kayaked a little, ate a lot and all in all had a lovely weekend. Life on Kawau (Cow-wow) revolves around the jetty...
This is our two year old 'bombing' - about a two metre drop off the jetty into the water.
We'll have to go back one day when the sun is shining.
What a good holiday spot! Might have to try it. Not too far too.
ReplyDeleteWow your 2 year old is brave!
I love the walkway of agapanthas. It looks so inviting...and the glee of jumping in is evident even from the back view!
ReplyDeleteThat is one fearless little boy you have there!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your break in spite of the sad weather.

What a lovely spot! Looks like a fabulous weekend away.
ReplyDeleteThat last shot of your little one in mid-flight is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteHe may have been fearless but I'd have been petrified. Can just imagine the look on his face when he popped up again. Pure glee.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've been having a lovely wee trip around the country, and I'm so inspired by your reading list. Can't wait to hear what you think about some of these reads.
