Finally. Here's our video. Towards the end there's a very small peek of us exiting 90-mile beach by (the only exit) Te Paki Stream (which is more like a river in some parts). There is still at least one more instalment of our 90-mile beach vacation.
The wild horses were an unexpected highlight!

Trip to 90-mile beach and the end of the world - Part I
We loaded up the car with the bare necessities (yes, that's a tiny potty) and hit the road to the Winterless North.

It was ~6hr drive up to Ahipara, which is the jumping-off point to the southern tip of 90-mile beach. The girls were perfect the whole drive. Oh, there were some incidents - but they were not the babies fault. We overfed Claire ~ 1 gallon of milk which she regurgitated (completely regurgitated) for us. That required a pit stop. We got a great deal on a huge beach house with a beautiful veiw. Here's a shot of sunrise. It turns out that we were about 1km from a world-famous surf break, Shipwreck Bay! It's a loooong left which my mate Jimmy Kooksley would love. Si o no, Jimmy?

There were some fun walks along the beach...

and digging in the sand...

and sweet family time...
