the coastal walk

we went and tried the coastal walk over at long bay today.







i think this purchase was very good because it kept the sweat from my forehead trickling down to my eyes.













 but i think even the bandana couldn't save me from what we saw next. pohutukawa bay apparently is a nude beach. A MALE DOMINANT NUDE BEACH!!!

they should just rename pohutukawa bay to naked men's bay. or even sausage fest bay. nasty.



the walk was supposed to take 3 hours. we managed to do it in 2. winnar!



later on, chilling (or more like resting) in browns bay.



people dance out here on the streets.
