Cape Reinga

Ediza has been acting just too crazy lately so I decided to throw her off a cliff. Just joking.

Yesterday we visited Cape Reinga, the northern most tip of New Zealand. Cape Reinga -- where the Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea meet -- is considered a sacred place to the native Maori people as they believe their souls leave from this point.

It's a very majestic place and was well worth the three-hour drive to the north to get there. The last 20 kilometers (they don't use miles here) of the drive was along a rough gravel road and we were dodging all of this construction equipment. Kind of crazy to be driving with a huge steamroller coming at you and no one directing you where to go.



On the way back to the farm we stopped at Coopers Beach, a great little swimming spot with lots of colorful seashells mixed in with the sand. Ediza got to play with a puppy dog named Nigel before playing with seashells and taking a swim.
