We made it to the tip top of New Zealand! After driving along the many bays up to the top and along the 90 mile beach in a special bus that drives on the sand. We went sand surfing down a giant sand dune on a body board. Climbing up as people whizzed by you - it was a bit of a thrill seekers activity as you start sliding down from the top and suddenly pick up so much speed, sand flying everywhere, all you can here is a whoosh in your ears and can only see the bottom getting nearer pretty quick! Then you dig in your feet and coming to a graceful stop! Marvellous!
We finally made it to Cape Reinga a the top. I posted a last minute postcard to my parents into the postbox up there before walking up to the lighthouse to see the meeting of two seas: the Tasman Sea (between Australia and New Zealand) on the left meeting the Pacific Ocean to the right in a Battle Royale! Well no, but it was cool as you could actually see where they met as a bunch of waves going up against each other! There was just time left for a banana lunch on the beach before the long journey back to Paihia.
