It’s been a while

September 28th 2019

It’s been almost 2 years since I last posted and yes …. very remiss of me. It’s actually more disappointing for myself that I had all these great intentions of sharing my stories and pictures and didn’t follow through … and I’m not going to make excuses for it, rather tackle it by now picking this back up.

I really enjoy where I live, 10minutes from the beach and I often start out my weekends with a good morning walk. Last weekend was no exception to that and the weather was stunning. On days like this it’s just fantastic to wake up at the crack of dawn and soak up the early morning sun. Even better when you can round it off with a great smoothie at my favourite juice bar.

While on my walk I caught site of this beautiful 1950’s cadilac, in immaculate condition. Hate to think what this costs to fill up.

As it was such a stunning spring day I decided to take the bike out for a spin. Made a small detour to my old haunt Muriwai. Although I really enjoy Orewa, I consider it a paddling pool in comparison to Muriwai. Out on the West coast you really get the feel for the rough ocean views and there’s something very energetic about the crashing of those waves that’s quite invigorating.

Feel that energy flow

The gannets are now fully settled in on Maori bay and their chicks will start to hatch soon.

One great thing about Muriwai, you’ve got a beach you can walk on for miles

  1. Hi Robert!
    We loved very much your blog. The beautiful seaview snaps made us remember the places we have been ourselves.Helga cannot move very well due to age and health and so a little tear fell down. But in 3 weeks she will get a new knee and who knows…. So please do not stop to let us participate in your impressions about your country and make us dream again. Hugs and kisses
    Helga and Willem

  2. Robert,

    great to see you back with the world of the wandererer, Mooi and I like the stories and pics.
    That old Caddilac ( guess from 1953) still looking good. Beach pics are nice.

    We are looking forward to other stories to come.

    Hugs
