Jun 3rd. Today is the day we head off to the Northernmost part of the North Island - Cape Reinga. It is a spiritual place for the Mauri as it is said that when they die, there spirits come here and leave this world for the next one. We drive up the eastern side of the Northern peninsula and see fruit crops growing, some big Kauri trees and some small harbours along the way. At the Cape, there is a lighthouse which we walk down to - it threatens to rain as we get there but it only lasts for a few minutes - then the sunshine comes out.
