We’ve been in Ahipara now for 7 days, cleaning for rent. The first full day we had we made a 100 km drive north to Cape Reinga. It is very nearly the northernmost point in New Zealand (the North Cape is a bit further north), and it is where the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean collide. The picture of the lighthouse was taken there and it is the West Coast behind us, which is the Tasman Sea. On the way back down we stopped at Waitiki Landing, which is the picture of the sand dunes. They were really big and really steep so we rode down them in those little sleds and just got sand everywhere, it was quite fun! Like Mae said, Endless Summer Lodge is across the street from the beach, and a few minutes from a great surfing beach called Shipwreck Bay. Bobby has taken me out a couple times and tried to teach me. I can kind of start to feel it, but it is incredibly difficult, I’ll keep trying. We will leave Ahipara and start to make our way to the Central North Island on Friday.
Cheers, Johnny
