After running at 7, we (Aunty, Uncle, Sunny the most cutest
dog ever and moi) all decided to go to Anawhata Beach (ahna-fata). Luckily the
weather held out for us and was actually sunny for once.
From our house, there’s around a 45 minute drive there. About 15 minutes of that drive is gravel road, so after going on it, the car was encased in this grey dusty stuff. Definitely calls for a wash!
Also, the gravel road is extremely windy, immediately after a turn is another turn and another turn and another turn and so on. So you have to be careful when driving because you can’t see if a car is around the corner coming towards you and it’s a two way road but it’s really thin, so it’s hard to make way for another car.
Then, after the drive, you get out and there’s about a 20 minute downhill bush hike you have to do to actually GET to the beach. But once you’re there it AMAZING!
It seemed like Sunny had ants in his pants because he was just itching to get off his lead, and once he did… he ran and there was no stopping him. Although I can’t talk… I was no better ;)

There are two sides to the beach. You have to go over this little dune to get to the other side. I like the first side best.
It was suuuuuuuuuuper hot and boiling, for a nice change. Some of the sand near the dune/on top of the dune was really really hot and I was hopping from foot to foot.
After checking out Side 2, we went back to Side 1 and I retreated to my cave. With Sunny of course.
In my cave, I made some little sand balls with the glittery
black sand there and I threw them at Aunty!
After, when it was time to go ( :( waah) we had to do that
bushwalk again. This time, it was like 10 times hotter (or at least it felt
like that much), we were exhausted (me and Sunny mostly, we did all the running
around ;D), the walk is uphill this time. NOOOO! I felt like I was gonna die.
No kidding. (Well maybe I am. But seriously, that walk is horrible!)
Sooooooooooooo I won’t be going back there in a hurry, even though the beach is simply stunning, but I will definitely be going back there. LOVE IT! Yeah, that’s right, Imma beach babe. Lol.
