Cape Reinga

After Omapere, I did the obligatory trip up to Cape Reinga. It is the most northern spot in NZ with a road. Apparently, you can get a smidgen further north, if you have a helicopter, but this was close enough for me. It was perfect weather, for the 30th straight day, although this was a mixed blessing. The Cape is the spot where the Tasman sea (on the West/left) and the Pacific Ocean (on the East/right) join together. The Tasman is much more green and the Pacific is blue. The currents run in opposite directions, creating a froth of crashing waves out in the ocean, which is great to watch. Apparently, this scene is turned into a boiling maelstrom during winter storms, but I will gladly take the nice weather we had.
