After exactly two months in New Zealand, I am going to finally reach the furthest north point, something I'll never forget.
First task, eating :-)
Second task, helping a French couple to push their car stuck in the mud. Yesterday night they found the wrong place… While we tried to help a man came with a big tractor and the job was done in a minute :-) bloody French!
Packing up
Now it’s the time to reach our today’s destination. The road is very hilly but its quality is good. We can see on the west coast a huge sand dune, maybe bigger than Pilat dune near Bordeaux in France.
Wonderful view of the Tasman sea!

We are approaching :-)
Here it is :-)
Closer…
And closer.
HERE I AM!!! After roughly 780km, I finally reached my first goal. That’s a strange feeling. Two months waiting for that moment and now it’s real. Wouhaaou!
We are more than 18000km from London! Can you see us?
Peter enjoying his time.
The tip of Cap Reinga
The clash between the sea and the ocean. The two powerful currents make the waves come from everywhere. It’s quite impressive and weird at the same time.
I feel strange to leave Cap Reinga behind. Will I see it again on day?
On the way down to the camp
One more empty beach.
Now, direction to Taputaputa Bay to sleep. It’s a DOC camp as well so it’s cool, free and beautiful :-).
Cold showers are on the left and the toilets on the right. Theses big pipes provide air flow for the composting toilets. These are so clean and smell very fresh. All DOC campsites uses them.
As always, it is so green and natural!
I hope I’m allowed to walk here because if that was not the case I will be found very easily… I thought it was a river at the beginning but with a closer look it’s not. That’s the same white sand we have seen before.
