IV Travel Blog #2: Raglan, New Zealand

We set off on our best trip of the New Zealand asylum to date; RAGLAN, New Zealand.

Once again, we began without any preparation or expectation of an adventure. In all actuality, we set out to go to the internet cafe. We stopped to get some avocados from the nice people selling them for a dollar on the side of the road. I got to talking to the avocado slinger about surfing. He said the surf was good “just down the road.” So we set off on a hour long drive down a rocky dirt road that led us up and down the costal hills to a secluded surf beach called Ruapuke Beach. This place is heaven with good waves and stunning scenery!

On the drive back, we came to the conclusion that there is no way we should live in Auckland. Sorry to all those that would wish me to get a real job, but Auckland just isn’t a viable option when you have such a beautiful country to explore. The drive back was stunning.

The exclamation point warning sign was to mark this here perilous river crossing.   Have no fear, the Audi made it across without a scratch.  Guess perilous isn’t the right word!
