Cape Reinga

After we left Orewa we headed north towards Cape Reinga, though it took us a couple of days to get there (we did have to stop and look at Glow Worms along the way). Cape Reinga is the Northern most point in New Zealand as well as the Western most point on the North Island. Once we got to the Cape, we did a small hike out to the lighthouse. From the Cape you can see where the Tasmen Sea and the Pacific Ocean meet, you can actually see the two currents meeting, it was pretty cool. The picture of Holly pointing in two directions, her right hand is pointing toward the Tasmen Sea and her left towards the Pacific.
We did another small hike out towards the beach that is sacred to the Maori, since it is sacred land we did not trespass but got as close as we could.
