21/3 - Cape Reinga

Hi All,

Cape Reinga is the northwest most tip of the Aupouri Peninsula, at the northern end of the North Island of New Zealand. Cape Reinga is located over 100 km north of the nearest small town of Kaitaia. It is generally considered the separation marker between the Tasman Sea to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east. From the lighthouse it is possible to watch the tidal race, as the two seas clash to create unsettled waters just off the coast.
Here we met a nice Israeli couple - Amiad and Hilla, they are also at the end of their journey in New Zealand and about to fly away to Thailand, Nepal and India, Yoni helped them with some tips and sorts of information, it was nice to remember about some places over there, they really brought Yoni good 8 years old memories.



The good fun started when we arrived to the sand dunes, The biggest sand dunes in New Zealand, the climb to the top of the dunes was a challenge with sun, heat, loose sand and a long steep slope. We finally experienced the different views. Combination of Blue sky with green forest, deep blue see and yellow sand dunes all together made the efforts of driving here along the 90 mile beach.

Have fun,
Efrat and Yoni.
