up to the top

Yesterday we drove to Cape Reinga up the very top of the North Island of NZ. The road was narrow and windy with lots of pot holes, the rain they have had here has done lots of damage. After parking in the car park we flowed the track down to the Lighthouse.

The sand hills on the distance, I think, are called Te Paki and there you can hire a board and slide down. I used to do that as a kid, Dad made us boards from plywood with a lump of firewood on rhe front, we would wax them up and go down the sand hills at Papamoa Beach, sadly that is banned now.

The meeting is where the Tasman Sea meets the Pacific Ocean, you can see them crashing in to each other.

A fine photo of my finger!! 🤣

And again!!

A couple of tourists in the wind!

After looking around we headed back up the path

back at Cable Bay I sat down the beach and watched the sun go down, for a while I thought I might miss it as  huge cloud came over, but all was good.

This box is downstairs,  great idea I thought

that is all  me  today, blogger is starting to play up on me, I don't think it likes long posts on the phone! We are heading back to Whangarei today for a catch up with Raewyn and the MOHL.

Happy stitching.
