While we were in Kerikeri trying to make some money, we decided to go to the most northern part of New Zealand, a place called Cape Reinga. We left a saturday morning and drove for about 4 hours. We could have driven on the beach for 80 km, but a BMW before us got caught in the sand, which made me backoff and take the safe highway. We arrived just before the sunset and took a look at the lighthouse on the tip of the cape. Right in front of us was the meeting of the Tasman sea and the Pacific ocean. We then decided to camp in our van somewhere safe, and found a secluded jeep track, hidden by bushes. No sound at all and pitch black, we slept farely well and went on a hike the next day. The landscapes were once again gorgeous and we walked all the way to another beach. On the way back, I met a beautiful green lizard. Then, we went on the other side of the cape to try to surf on the sand dunes. I had never seen that much sand in my life, it looked a lot like when Luke Skywalker saved the day for Han Solo and Princess Lea in the desert!!!
Dana and I reached some pretty high speeds and had a good time. Couldn't take any pictures though, a bit too dangerous for the camera.....
