Sunday morning dawned clear and sunny and we made our way up the west coast to the Waitakere Ranges and did a short walk in the bush to stretch our legs and made our way over to Piha Beach. This was the beach used in the movie the Piano. We walked along the black sand beaches for about an hour and then made our way back and found a little café for a late lunch of fired potato and kumara chips and of course flat white coffee! Mark drove back into Auckland and we ascended One Tree Hill and had a great view of Auckland. We drove back to Pukekohe and changed our clothes and made our way over to Merv & Quita’s for a spectacular dinner. The Ah Chee’s new home is absolutely beautiful and Quita showed Mary and I around. They have done an outstanding job in designing and building an incredibly livable home. Merv is a caterer by vocation and he made the most delectable meal where the food just keep coming until we finally gave up trying to eat any more. We drank wine and laughed for hours and finally headed back to the Tregidga’s and tumbled into bed.
