The most northerly part of our tour is to Cape Reinga, a lighthouse and at the very tip the Pahutakawa Tree through which Maori souls are said to pass into the sea as they journey up Ninety Mile Beach.
This is the point at which the Tasmin Sea meets the Pacific Ocean, and the swell out to sea was testimony to this – on a stormy day it’s supposed to be quite something. We were treated to beautiful weather for this most northerly venture in New Zealand. Our friends told us we must get an ice-cream at this little shop up here – this, believe it or not is a single scoop for a whopping two dollars (about 80p).

The sea and sky look so blue. Can you send me one of those choccy ices, it looks very yummy.

Told you the ice-creams were huge - we made the mistake of ordering doubles!!
