I recently had a wonderful afternoon at Piha, a beach on the west coast near Auckland. I'm not much of a beachy person, having a cordial dislike of the surf, and Piha is a dangerous beach. But it sure is nice to look at.

Highlight was a little way inland. Kitekite Falls is a rather lovely waterfall and easily accessible by track from the beach.

The day ended with a most glorious sunset. Can't beat a west coast sunset!

No problem. They are not going anywhere and the offer will remain open.

Hang on... is that water I see in that waterfall? What a strange concept. :)

Ha ha, yes, it comes as a surprise after those glorious Australian airfalls.

I went to Yosemite last summer. You know those famous falls? Hundreds of metres of ... nothing. Not a drop.
