Day 16

Last week we went to Murwai Beach.It is known as the black sand beach and is about an hour and a half north of where we are staying. I noticed it had BIG WAVES!!! The sand actually is black!
Here we are getting ready to boogie board

We saw a jellyfish on the beach!

Some gannets on the rocks
We rented boogie boards and surfed a lot with them. We had to stay between flags because that's where the lifeguard patrols and there is a strong current. Murwai Beach is home to a colony of Gannets. The Gannets look a lot like seagulls.The mom lays one egg and when the baby hatches, it practices flapping its wings in the nest. On its first flight, it goes all the way to Australia! In two to  six years, it returns to the exact same spot.
