Paraparaumu

We spent our last two weeks in NZ living in a little beach house in Paraparaumu (50km north of Wellington), and have very much enjoyed the beautiful sunsets over Kapiti Island. In a November 2008 post, we described our trip to this magical island sanctuary.

When the tide goes out, we wade into the surf to feel out cockles (and the occasional irritated crab!) with our feet. These delicately-flavored bivalves make a fine feed when steamed in white wine and butter.
