Day 4 of our trip, we took a tour to Cape Reinga, the northern most tip of New Zealand as well as where the TasmanSea meets the Pacific Ocean. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Our singing bus driver Sunny explained that Cape Reinga has a lot of spiritual significance for the Maoris as it is where the spirits take leave of New Zealand to return to their homeland in Hawaiki. On the home stretch, we stopped at the Sand Dunes where we all had a turn at tobaganning down the 50 / 60 degrees steep sand dunes. The climb up the steep dunes completely sapped every ounce of energy from me yet Erica managed to bounce up and down the dunes 4 times. Back on the coach, we drove along very scenic Ninety Mile beach, before heading back to Kaitaia.
