To the top of the Island - Cape Reinga

The place where the spirits depart Aotearoa.
It was very breezy walking down to the lighthouse, and the furtherest point of Aotearoa.
 There is an ancient pohutukawa on the point, that the spirits await the wind, and then leap off to their journey in the spirit world.
 Luckily the signpost was there, for us to hang onto when the breeze picked up.

 The Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean met at this point.
 A steep walk back up the hill, in the wind.  Tough walk but the view was fantastic.


 All the urchins before the wind blew them away.
 Off on our next adventure, exploring the sandhills at Te Paki
