Day 29 Last day in Auckland


This was our last day in Auckland before we have 3 days of free travel.  We took another one of those awesome vans to the black beaches.  I was confused at first when I heard black beaches, but when I saw it I knew exactly why they have such a name.  The sand is literally black and it looks so cool.  The name of the beach that we went to was Piha beach and there is a huge rock formation called Lion Rock right in the middle of the beach. 
Picture perfect

View from the top.  Yeah, I climbed it.

After leaving the beach we stopped at a little café in Piha.  It was really cool because it was tucked away in the middle of the mountains and had an awesome menu.  I actually ended up getting fresh smoked salmon and eggs, which was unbelievable.

Tomorrow we are all headed down to the south island to go to Queenstown.  Jay and I have a fishing trip planned that is a trip of a lifetime.  Until next time, cheers!
