Pos 35:10.24S 173:09.52E 90 Mile Beach/Akipara We visited a few places along the 90 Mile Beach. The Surfers like this beach as there are lot of breakers in different areas. Most Mauris swim and look for the best surfing places. The beaches are sometimes driven on by people that are fishing or just having fun driving as far as they can get on the beach.   Going surfing? You don't always need water to surf.   This is the road to the beach. Caroline would not let me drive down. Lars wanted to get on the beach at least twice and I saw it was very soft and we would get stuck but finally he just took his chance before I realised what he was doing and we were on the beach. It wasn't that bad but I was glad to be on the road again.   I got my will through in the end. 90 Miles Beach as long as you can see.   We tried a few places along the 90 mile beach to stay for the night. It wasn't until our 3rd try that we found a Camping Ground that was open and that was Akipara. The Camping Ground is beautiful. It's run by a couple from Switzerland and they are so friendly. We have a camping place among very high Fir trees and hedges made out of Bamboo that is so thick that my hand isn't able to go round it. There are a few who seemed to have made their home in the camp ground permanently, otherwise there were very few Camper Vans like us.   Bamboo, Some other kind of grass. Caroline and Lars. |
