Our first full day at Baylys beach! Colin was down the beach path by 6am to check out the surf and when he returned we both suited up to paddle out. But the fickle ocean had already changed and we were left staring at a mess of waves and currents too gnarly to paddle out into! :(
It was tough but we decided the risk wasn’t worth the mediocre/messy surf at that point. Because of our location which is fairly remote and the complete absence of other people, we decided not to paddle out. We were both disappointed but I was glad that Colin made the point. It was the right thing to do.
Instead, we headed out to see the Kauri forest and walk amongst these ancient, endangered, giant trees that only grow in NZ. We took the 1hr drive and headed out to the Waipoua Forest where we took the Kauri walk and we saw lots of ancient beautiful Kauri trees amongst them was the second largest, Father of the Forest, over 2000 yr old kauri.
Along the way we stopped at a gas station where I happened to notice a few awesome, classic motorbikes in the garage. An almost 100yr old BSA and an Indian!
