The first day of 2008 was absolutely glorious so we decided to visit some parts of the North Shore where, even though we've lived there for over a year now, we had not previously ventured. Our first stop was Rothesay Bay a very family friendly beach.
Despite the wonderful weather, the beach was relatively quiet, mainly due to so many Aucklanders having headed off to their holiday homes or destinations around the country.
Around the headland gave a good view north to Browns Bay, our usual beach destination.
Further down the east coast we stopped off at Campbells Bay, again a family friendly beach and not very busy. There were a lot of beautiful houses backing onto the beach - if only we could find a spare $2-3 million!
Our last stop of the day was at Lake Pupuke on the outskirts of Takapuna. It was originally used to provide water to the whole of the North Shore many years ago. It is now a recreational lake with several people swimming, kayaking and windsurfing. The old pump house is now a theatre with a small outdoor amphitheatre used in summer.
