We deserted the busy metropolis of Auckland for Mangawhai, a peaceful, beachside town. Mangawhai is a place filled with minimal excitement as there is only a beach and a small strip of shops.
Every day developed into a routine of beach trips, binge eating and relaxing in the spa. We spent our days in our bikinis as we didn't pack enough pairs of underwear for our trip haha.
Every night we would drive around Mangawhai, return home to watch a movie, and have ridiculous conversations as we laid in bed. In the end, whether we are in Auckland or Mangawhai, we always drive around town looking for something to do.
We witnessed local teenagers making their own fun at a playground (and possibly drinking alcohol). They proudly played their music from their phones and laughed at each other's stupidity while ignoring our presence.
There was also an elaborate playground and skatepark but the construction was ceased due to financial issues. So the recreational area lays there unfinished as a reminder of Mangawhai's failed dreams. Meanwhile, we worried about the progress of our own dreams and plans for the future.
