Cape Reinga

Happy Easter!
A great opportunity to visit Cape Reinga — with two hitchhikers in the back of my car (alive!) — the northernmost point of New Zealand and where the Tasman Sea meets the Pacific Ocean (pic 3). Awesome, eh? It was the first nice day after ages of bad weather (although it did rain again in the afternoon…). Still, because it was Easter and finally sunny, a lot of people came out to enjoy the view.

P.S. Early in the morning, I found a cute green bird that didn’t quite look alright, so I gave him some water and a few seeds. I like to think he appreciated it. Also, two girls at the hostel were so kind — they actually hid a few chocolate eggs around the premises. I was SO! eager to find them and relocate them to a safe place with a lock: my car. And I had to eat them fast — otherwise they would have melted.Read more
