90 Mile Beach

It just goes on for ever - as far as the eye could see!

Well the rain stopped at 1am this morning and we have had a beautiful day just as well as we have covered some miles today. We are beside a lovely beach again and been for a paddle in the Tasman Sea caught the sun too! Amazing what a change in the weather can do for lifting the spirits. We tried to get to Cape Reinga the last lighthouse in the North of New Zealand and the most northerly point us visitors can get too - we knew the last part of the route was untarred road but it was a bit rough but we ventured on thinking it can't get any worse as we had passed campervans! - Well it did it was a road under construction we stuck with it for about 7kms thinking it will end soon - but it didn't so with only about 9kms left to do we took the decision to turn round we had our hired car to think of and I think we made the right decision have bought a postcard of what we should have seen! As we are in the middle of no where today I have had to cook - pasta quite tasty just been for another walk along the beach and catching up before catching some zzzzz's one more day on the travel before we land back in Auckland.
