The Great Milford to Takapuna Expedition

For today we planned a family (and Elizabeth's friend who was visiting) expedition from Milford Beach to Takapuna Beach all along the beach. If you prefer to keep your feet (read shoes) dry, this needs to be done at low tide, so we checked the tides and planned accordingly. What we didn't plan for was rain. As I parked the car at Milford Beach it started raining, so we decided to drive to Takapuna to see if we can get a nice spot to eat our packed picnic food. Got there, found the rain had stopped and set of in the direction of Milford. got about 15 minutes into the trip and the rain came down again.

In the end had to abandon, but had a nice picnic at Takapuna Beach.

Got some tickets for me and Timothy for the A1 Grand Prix of NZ next weekend in Taupo. The prices have doubled from last year! I was disgusted, but we are looking forward to it very much.
